Description

StarTech C6ASPAT6INBK 6-inch Cat6a Shielded Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech C6ASPAT6INBK is a 6-inch Cat6a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed to deliver reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Its short length and robust construction make it ideal for high-density server racks, patch panel connections, or connecting network devices within close proximity where noise and interference are concerns. This cable ensures signal integrity for critical network infrastructure, supporting up to 500 MHz, which is essential for 10Gbps speeds.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks but is specifically rated for Cat6a performance. It connects standard RJ-45 network ports found on routers, switches, servers, network attached storage (NAS) devices, and IP cameras. The 26 AWG stranded copper construction ensures flexibility for tight installations. It supports 100W PoE, making it suitable for powering network devices like IP cameras or wireless access points directly through the Ethernet cable.

Installation Notes

With a CMG (Communications Multipurpose General) fire rating, this cable is suitable for use within walls and between floors in many commercial building spaces. The aluminum-polyester foil shielding, combined with 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, provides robust protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), crucial for maintaining data integrity in noisy environments. Operating temperature range is -20°C to 80°C.
