Description

StarTech C6ASPAT5BL Cat6a Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech C6ASPAT5BL is a 5-foot Cat6a Ethernet cable engineered to deliver robust 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Its shielded construction minimizes noise and interference, making it suitable for demanding network environments where data integrity is critical. This cable is ideal for connecting network devices such as IP cameras, NVRs, switches, and workstations, ensuring stable data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps over distances up to 100 meters (though this specific cable is 5 feet). The CMG rating ensures it meets general-purpose fire safety standards for in-wall installations.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks but is specifically designed to support the higher bandwidth requirements of Cat6a. It is compatible with any device featuring an RJ-45 Ethernet port, including network switches, routers, servers, and IP surveillance equipment from brands like Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, Dahua, and others that utilize standard Ethernet connections. It supports 100W PoE (Power over Ethernet), making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras or wireless access points directly through the network cable.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors, providing flexibility for easier routing in tight spaces compared to solid core cables. The 26 AWG wire gauge is standard for Cat6a patch cables. The cable jacket is made of PVC, offering a balance of flexibility and durability. Operating and storage temperatures range from -20°C to 80°C, and humidity tolerance is 15% to 65% RH (non-condensing). The ETL verification ensures it meets performance standards for 500 MHz bandwidth and 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds.
