Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards for Category 6a performance, delivering 10 Gbps data transfer rates over distances up to 100 meters. The 500 MHz bandwidth and low near-end crosstalk (NEXT) ensure signal integrity and reliability in high-speed networks.
The construction uses 27 AWG pure bare copper conductors for consistent electrical characteristics, while the S/FTP shielding combines aluminum mylar foil with a tinned copper braid to minimize electromagnetic interference. Each cable is individually tested and ETL verified to guarantee Cat6a performance.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines enterprise-grade performance with practical safety features for modern network installations.
Enhanced Safety
The LSZH jacket emits minimal toxic smoke if combusted, making this cable suitable for poorly ventilated areas like risers, plenums, and data centers where fire safety is critical.
- Low smoke emission
- Zero halogen
- Flame retardant
Reliable Connectivity
Gold-plated 50-micron connectors and snagless boots prevent accidental disconnections while reducing wear during frequent insertions and removals in patch panel environments.
- Precision fit
- Durable contacts
- Snagless design
Future-Proof Power
Full PoE++ support delivers up to 100W of power alongside data, eliminating the need for separate power adapters for compatible devices and simplifying installation.
- IEEE 802.3bt Type 4
- 100W power delivery
- Single-cable solution
Deployment / Use Cases
This Cat6a patch cable is optimized for high-density network environments where performance, reliability, and safety are paramount. The 1-foot length makes it ideal for short connections within racks, between adjacent equipment, or in space-constrained installations.
The yellow color provides clear visual identification for specific network segments, critical connections, or PoE++ circuits, simplifying cable management and troubleshooting in complex deployments.
Data Center & Server Room
Connect switches to servers, storage arrays, or network appliances in rack-mounted configurations where short patch cables minimize clutter and improve airflow management.
PoE Device Connectivity
Power and connect PoE++ devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and IoT sensors with a single cable, reducing installation complexity and costs.
Physical Profile
This flexible patch cable features a bright yellow LSZH jacket with a 5.7 mm diameter, allowing easy routing through tight spaces and cable management systems. The snagless boot design prevents catching on rack edges or other cables during installation and maintenance. At approximately 0.70 oz (19.84 g), the lightweight construction reduces stress on ports and connectors while maintaining durability.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data speed this cable supports?
This Cat6a cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) at data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps. It is backward compatible with Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 networks, automatically negotiating the appropriate speed with connected equipment.
Can this cable deliver power to devices?
Yes, this cable supports Power over Ethernet++ (PoE++) up to 100W, compliant with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 standards. It can power compatible devices like high-performance IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones while simultaneously carrying data.
What does LSZH jacket mean and why is it important?
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen, a jacket material that emits minimal toxic smoke and no halogen gases if exposed to fire. This makes the cable safer for use in enclosed spaces, plenums, and data centers where ventilation may be limited during a fire event.
How does the S/FTP shielding improve performance?
S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding combines individual foil shielding around each twisted pair with an overall braided shield. This dual-layer protection significantly reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring stable signal transmission in electrically noisy environments.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, this cable is designed for indoor use. While the LSZH jacket provides enhanced fire safety, it is not rated for direct sunlight, moisture, or extreme temperature exposure. For outdoor installations, specifically rated outdoor Ethernet cables should be used.
What warranty comes with this cable?
StarTech provides a lifetime limited warranty for this cable, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the product's usable life. The warranty supports the cable's construction quality and performance claims when used according to specifications.
