Description

StarTech C6ASPAT8AQ Cat6a Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech C6ASPAT8AQ is an 8-foot Cat6a Ethernet cable designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. It is constructed with stranded copper conductors and an aluminum-polyester foil shield, ensuring signal integrity for demanding network applications. This cable is CMG rated for in-wall use, making it suitable for fixed installations within commercial buildings or data centers where network reliability is critical. The C6ASPAT8AQ model provides a robust connection for network-attached storage, IP cameras, or high-speed workstations.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any networking device requiring an RJ-45 Ethernet connection, including but not limited to: StarTech network switches, IP cameras from brands like Axis, Hikvision, and Hanwha, network video recorders (NVRs), and servers. It adheres to the ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standard, ensuring interoperability with other Cat6a compliant networking equipment.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors, offering flexibility for routing in tight spaces or around corners without compromising performance. The operating temperature range of -20°C to 80°C (4°F to 176°F) and humidity range of 15-65% RH allow for installation in a variety of environmental conditions. The CMG rating indicates it meets requirements for use in building plenums and risers, provided local codes permit.
