Description

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

Overview

The StarTech NLRD-7F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 7-foot, red, snagless Cat6a patch cable designed to reliably support 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 500 MHz bandwidth. Its S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction with a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for environments where fire safety and data integrity are paramount, such as enterprise networks, data centers, and surveillance systems requiring high-speed connectivity. The snagless boot design prevents connector damage during installation and removal, ensuring a secure connection for critical network infrastructure.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks but is specifically engineered for 10GBASE-T Ethernet deployments. It is compatible with any standard RJ45-equipped networking devices, including switches, routers, servers, workstations, and IP cameras that support 10 Gigabit speeds. The 100W PoE++ rating ensures it can safely carry power to compatible devices without overheating, making it suitable for powering high-demand network equipment like PTZ cameras or wireless access points.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded 27 AWG copper conductors for flexibility and durability, ideal for frequent handling or routing through conduits. The operating temperature range of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F) and humidity range of 0% to 85% RH are suitable for most indoor commercial installations. The LSZH rated jacket minimizes toxic smoke and corrosive byproducts in case of fire, a critical consideration for plenum spaces or densely populated areas. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors provide superior conductivity and corrosion resistance.
