Description

StarTech NLRD-15F-CAT6A-PATCH Snagless S/FTP Cat6a Patch Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLRD-15F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 15-foot snagless S/FTP Cat6a patch cable designed to reliably connect network devices. Its construction supports 10Gbps data transfer rates up to 500MHz, making it suitable for demanding network environments like 10GBASE-T deployments, high-density server racks, and critical surveillance system backbones. The snagless boot design prevents connector damage during installation and removal, ensuring a secure fit without obstructing adjacent ports.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device utilizing RJ-45 connectors and requiring Cat6a performance standards. It is suitable for connecting 10GBASE-T switches, routers, servers, workstations, and IP cameras that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The TIA/EIA-T568B wiring standard ensures broad compatibility with standard networking equipment.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), suitable for most indoor IT environments. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material is critical for installations in plenum spaces or areas with strict fire safety codes, as it emits minimal smoke and toxic fumes when exposed to heat. The 27 AWG stranded copper conductors offer flexibility for routing in tight spaces, while the Aluminum-Mylar foil with braid shielding minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, preserving signal integrity.
