User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this CAT6a cable?
This StarTech CAT6a cable supports data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps (10 Gigabits per second). It operates at frequencies up to 500MHz with low near-end crosstalk, making it suitable for 10GBASE-T network deployments while maintaining backward compatibility with Cat6, Cat6a, Cat5e, and Cat5 networks.
Does this Ethernet cable support Power over Ethernet?
Yes, this cable supports Power over Ethernet++ (PoE++) up to 100W, compliant with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 specifications. This allows it to deliver both data and power to compatible devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones through a single connection, simplifying installations.
What type of shielding does this cable have?
The cable features S/FTP (Shielded with Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding, which includes both individual pair foil shielding and an overall braided shield. This dual-layer protection uses tinned copper braid and aluminum mylar foil to minimize electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity in electrically noisy environments.
What does LSZH mean for the cable jacket?
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen, indicating the jacket material emits minimal smoke and no halogen-based toxic fumes if exposed to fire. This makes the cable safer for use in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces like plenum areas, data centers, and network racks, while also meeting RoHS and WEEE environmental compliance standards.
What devices are compatible with this Ethernet cable?
This cable is compatible with a wide range of network devices including switches, routers, NAS units, PoE devices, IP cameras, access points, and network modules. Its 10 Gbps capability makes it suitable for high-speed network infrastructure, while the PoE++ support allows it to power compatible devices without separate power cables.
What is the advantage of snagless RJ45 connectors?
Snagless connectors feature integrated boots that protect the connector latch from accidentally catching on other cables or equipment during installation or maintenance. This design prevents damage to the latch, reduces wear, and ensures reliable connections in crowded patch panels while making cable management easier and more secure.
