Description

StarTech NLPL-7F-CAT6A-PATCH 7ft Cat6a Patch Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLPL-7F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 7-foot snagless Category 6a patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission and Power over Ethernet (PoE++) delivery. Its construction supports up to 10 Gbps network speeds, making it suitable for demanding applications like IP surveillance camera backbones, high-performance workstations, and data center interconnects where reliable, fast connectivity is critical. The purple, LSZH-rated jacket ensures safety in environments where fire retardancy and low smoke emission are mandated, such as public buildings or sensitive industrial settings. This cable directly addresses the need for robust, future-proof network infrastructure.

Compatibility

This CAT6a patch cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment supporting 10/100/1000/10000 Mbps Ethernet, including network switches, routers, IP cameras, NVRs, and workstations. It supports TIA/EIA-T568B wiring standards, ensuring interoperability with most commercial and enterprise network installations. Its 100W PoE++ (802.3bt) rating means it can safely power high-demand devices like PTZ cameras or wireless access points without requiring separate power injectors or supplies.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors for flexibility and 27 AWG wire gauge, suitable for runs up to 100 meters for 10 Gbps speeds. The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 connector tabs during installation and removal, preventing accidental disconnections. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), and humidity tolerance is 0% to 85% RH. Storage temperature range is -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F).
