Description

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

Overview

The StarTech NLPL-3F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 3-foot, purple, snagless Cat6a patch cable designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 500 MHz network speeds. Its construction ensures reliable data transmission for high-bandwidth applications, including surveillance systems requiring clear video streams and Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivery. The snagless boot design prevents connector damage during installation and removal, crucial in dense network racks. This cable is rated for 100W PoE++ (802.3bt), making it suitable for powering high-demand network devices like PTZ cameras or access control panels without needing separate power injectors.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is compatible with all TIA/EIA-T568B wired devices and network infrastructure, including 10GBASE-T Ethernet networks. It is suitable for connecting network switches, routers, servers, workstations, and IP surveillance cameras that utilize Cat6a or higher-grade Ethernet ports. The 27 AWG stranded copper conductors ensure flexibility and consistent signal integrity for short-run connections within server racks or between adjacent network closets.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F) for optimal performance. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material is rated for fire safety, minimizing the release of toxic fumes in case of fire, making it suitable for environments with strict safety regulations. The cable OD is 0.2 inches.
