Description

StarTech C6ASPAT6INAQ Cat6a Shielded Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech C6ASPAT6INAQ is a 6-inch, aqua-colored Cat6a Ethernet cable designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. Its shielded construction protects against EMI/RFI interference, making it suitable for environments where signal integrity is critical, such as data centers or industrial settings. This short-form cable is ideal for direct device-to-device connections or for connecting equipment within a rack, minimizing cable clutter and potential signal degradation over short runs. The C6ASPAT6INAQ supports 100W PoE, ensuring it can power compatible devices without needing a separate power source.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device featuring an RJ-45 port and requiring Cat6a performance. It meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards, ensuring interoperability with standard networking equipment. It is suitable for connecting network switches, routers, IP cameras, servers, and workstations that support 10Gbps speeds.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors for flexibility and 26 AWG wire gauge. It has a CMG (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Grade CM) fire rating, suitable for use in building risers. The operating and storage temperature range is -20°C to 80°C, with a humidity range of 15% to 65% (non-condensing). The 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide reliable contact.
