Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6a cable meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards and is individually tested to guarantee performance. The 4-pair, 8-conductor design supports 10GBASE-T deployments with low near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and return loss characteristics. The 27AWG stranded copper construction maintains consistent electrical properties across the full 50-foot length.
The S/FTP shielding configuration provides comprehensive protection against electromagnetic interference, while the strain relief boots prevent connector damage during installation. Gold-plated contacts ensure optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance for long-term reliability.
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 cable combines enterprise-grade performance with safety-focused construction for demanding network installations. The LSZH jacket makes it suitable for plenum spaces and areas with limited ventilation where traditional PVC cables would pose safety risks.
Enhanced Signal Integrity
S/FTP shielding with aluminum mylar foil and tinned copper braid provides superior EMI protection, while 27AWG pure copper conductors ensure consistent performance characteristics across the entire cable length.
- Reduces near-end crosstalk (NEXT)
- Minimizes return loss
- Maintains 10Gbps performance at 50ft
Durable Construction
Snagless boots prevent accidental disconnection and connector damage, while gold-plated contacts resist corrosion for long-term reliability. The flexible LSZH jacket withstands tight routing without compromising safety.
- 50-micron gold-plated connectors
- Strain relief design
- Flexible yet durable jacket
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for 10GBASE-T network deployments connecting switches, servers, and high-performance workstations. The 100W PoE++ capability makes it perfect for powering and connecting PoE devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without separate power cables.
The 50-foot length provides flexibility for office layouts, data centers, and industrial environments where equipment may be spaced apart. The white color blends discreetly with office decor while the LSZH jacket ensures safety in enclosed spaces like cable trays, risers, and air handling areas.
Network Infrastructure
Connect switches, routers, and network appliances in data centers and server rooms where 10Gbps throughput and reliable power delivery are essential.
PoE Device Connectivity
Power and connect IP cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE++ devices up to 100W, eliminating the need for separate power supplies and reducing installation complexity.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data speed this cable supports?
This Cat6a cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) at distances up to 50 feet. It maintains this performance through its 500MHz bandwidth rating and is engineered to meet ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards for Category 6a cabling, ensuring reliable high-speed data transmission for network infrastructure.
Can this cable deliver power to connected devices?
Yes, this cable supports Power over Ethernet++ (PoE++) up to 100W, compliant with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 specifications. This allows it to power and connect PoE devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without requiring separate power cables, simplifying installation and reducing clutter.
What does LSZH jacket mean and why is it important?
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen, a jacket material that produces minimal smoke and toxic fumes if exposed to fire. This makes the cable suitable for enclosed spaces, plenum areas, and poorly ventilated installations where traditional PVC cables could pose safety risks. The LSZH jacket also provides flexibility for routing through tight spaces.
How does the S/FTP shielding improve performance?
S/FTP (Shielded with Foiled Twisted Pair) combines aluminum mylar foil around each twisted pair with an overall tinned copper braid shield. This dual-layer shielding provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI), reduces near-end crosstalk (NEXT), and maintains signal integrity for reliable 10Gbps performance, especially in electrically noisy environments.
What devices are compatible with this Ethernet cable?
This cable is compatible with network devices, switches, PoE devices, PoE switches, access points, IP cameras, and NAS systems. It supports Category 6a, 6, 5e, and 5 standards, making it versatile for various network environments from enterprise data centers to office and industrial installations.
What warranty comes with this cable?
StarTech provides a lifetime warranty for this cable, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the product's usable life. The cable is individually tested and ETL verified to ensure it meets performance specifications, providing confidence in long-term reliability for critical network connections.
