Description

StarTech C6ASPAT5BK 5ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech C6ASPAT5BK is a 5-foot (1.5m) Cat6a Ethernet cable designed to deliver reliable 10 Gigabit network connections. Its shielded construction protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring signal integrity for critical data transmission in surveillance systems, network infrastructure, and other demanding IT environments. This cable supports high-power Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 100W, making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, access points, and VoIP phones without requiring separate power adapters.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks but is specifically rated for 500 MHz performance, essential for 10Gbps Ethernet. It connects standard RJ-45 network devices, including IP cameras, NVRs, switches, routers, and servers. It is compliant with IEEE 802.3bt for 100W PoE delivery, ensuring compatibility with high-power PoE devices.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors (26 AWG) for flexibility and ease of installation. The PVC jacket is CMG rated, suitable for in-wall installations where a fire rating is required. The operating and storage temperature range is -20°C to 80°C, accommodating a wide variety of deployment environments. The cable's outer diameter is 0.2 inches (6.3 mm).
