Description

StarTech C6ASPAT8BL CAT6a Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech C6ASPAT8BL is an 8-foot CAT6a Ethernet cable engineered to deliver reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Its construction is designed to mitigate noise and interference, making it suitable for demanding network environments where signal integrity is critical. This cable supports 100W Power over Ethernet (PoE) and features stranded copper conductors for flexibility, ideal for installations requiring frequent cable movement or routing through conduits.

Compatibility

This CAT6a cable is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT6 networks but is specifically rated for 500 MHz bandwidth, ensuring optimal performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters. It connects standard RJ-45 network devices, including network switches, routers, IP cameras, NVRs, and workstations. The CMG rating indicates suitability for in-wall, between-floor, and riser applications where fire safety codes apply.

Installation Notes

With a 26 AWG stranded copper conductor and an outer diameter of 0.2 inches, this cable offers good flexibility for installation. The aluminum-polyester foil shielding, combined with the CMG fire rating, provides both signal protection and safety compliance. Operating temperatures range from -20°C to 80°C, and humidity levels from 15% to 65% are supported.
