StarTech C6ASPAT8GR 8ft Cat6a Shielded Ethernet Cable
Overview
The StarTech C6ASPAT8GR is an 8-foot (2.4m) shielded Category 6a Ethernet patch cable designed to deliver reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance. Its construction minimizes noise and electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI), making it suitable for demanding network environments, including surveillance systems that require stable data transmission for high-resolution video feeds. The cable supports up to 100W of PoE power, ensuring connected devices receive sufficient power without requiring separate power supplies. This specific length is ideal for short-run connections between network devices, such as connecting a camera to a switch or a switch to a router in a rack or cabinet.
Compatibility
This cable is compatible with all networking equipment utilizing RJ-45 connectors, including 10/100/1000/10000 Mbps Ethernet standards. It is suitable for connecting devices such as IP cameras, network switches, routers, servers, and workstations. The Cat6a rating ensures it meets the requirements for 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters, though this specific cable is 8 feet long. It is also backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 standards, though performance will be limited to the lower standard.
Installation Notes
The cable features stranded copper conductors (26 AWG) for flexibility and ease of installation in tight spaces. The PVC jacket is CMG rated, suitable for general-purpose in-wall installations where a fire rating is required. The aluminum-polyester foil shielding, combined with RJ-45 connectors, provides robust protection against EMI/RFI. Operating and storage temperatures range from -20°C to 80°C, with humidity tolerance between 15% and 65%. ETL verification confirms it meets industry performance and safety standards.
