Description

StarTech NLGN-3F-CAT6A-PATCH Snagless Cat6a Patch Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLGN-3F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 3-foot snagless S/FTP Cat6a patch cable designed to reliably support high-bandwidth network applications, including 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 500MHz signaling. Its construction ensures data integrity for demanding environments such as data centers, server rooms, and enterprise networks where consistent performance is critical. The cable's 100W PoE++ support makes it suitable for powering high-demand network devices like PTZ cameras or wireless access points without requiring separate power injectors.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is compatible with any network device featuring an RJ-45 connector and requiring Cat6a performance standards. It is ideal for connecting servers, switches, workstations, and network-attached storage (NAS) devices. Specifically, it supports 10GBASE-T networks and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 infrastructure, though performance will be limited by the lowest-rated component in the chain. Its 100W PoE++ capability is suitable for devices compliant with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 standards.

Installation Notes

The cable features snagless RJ-45 connectors, protecting the locking tab during installation and removal, which is crucial in high-density rack environments. Constructed with 27 AWG pure bare copper conductors and an Aluminum-Mylar foil with braid shield (S/FTP), it minimizes EMI/RFI interference. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material reduces the emission of toxic fumes and corrosive gases in case of fire, making it suitable for installations with strict safety regulations. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).
