Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6a cable meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards and is individually tested to guarantee performance. It operates at frequencies up to 500MHz, with low near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and return loss for reliable signal transmission. The cable features four twisted pairs with eight conductors, supporting 10GBASE-T network deployments.
The construction includes aluminum mylar foil with a tinned copper braid shield for comprehensive EMI protection. Strain relief boots prevent cable damage at connection points, and the flame-retardant LSZH jacket emits minimal toxic fumes if exposed to fire, making it suitable for poorly ventilated areas.
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.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data speed this CAT6a cable supports?
This StarTech CAT6a cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps (10GBASE-T), making it suitable for high-speed network applications including server connections, network backbones, and data-intensive workloads. It operates at frequencies up to 500MHz with low near-end crosstalk to maintain signal integrity at maximum speeds.
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 standards. This allows it to power devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones directly through the Ethernet connection, eliminating the need for separate power supplies.
What does S/FTP shielding provide?
S/FTP (Shielded with Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding combines individual foil shielding around each twisted pair with an overall braided shield. This dual-layer protection minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring stable performance in electrically noisy environments like industrial settings or dense network racks.
Why is the LSZH jacket important?
The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket is flame retardant and emits minimal toxic smoke when exposed to fire. This makes the cable safer for use in enclosed spaces, poorly ventilated areas, and public buildings where fire safety regulations require reduced smoke and toxic fume emissions during combustion.
Is this cable backward compatible with older network standards?
Yes, this CAT6a cable is fully backward compatible with Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 networks. It will work with existing network equipment while providing improved performance characteristics when used with compatible devices. The cable has been tested to ensure proper functionality across these standards.
What applications is this cable best suited for?
This cable is ideal for 10GBASE-T network deployments, connecting switches to servers or storage devices, and powering PoE++ equipment like security cameras and access points. Its combination of high-speed data transfer, power delivery, and robust construction makes it suitable for data centers, office networks, surveillance systems, and industrial environments.
