Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6a cable meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards and is individually tested to guarantee performance up to 500 MHz. The 10 Gbps data transfer rate supports high-bandwidth applications, while the 4-pair, 8-conductor design maintains signal reliability with low near-end crosstalk.
Power over Ethernet capabilities extend to PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4), delivering up to 100W for compatible devices like IP cameras, access points, and PoE switches. The cable's 5.7 mm outer diameter and flexible LSZH jacket allow routing through tight spaces without compromising durability.
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 high-performance networking with robust construction for reliable deployment in commercial and industrial settings. The shielded design and quality materials provide long-term durability and consistent connectivity.
Enhanced Signal Integrity
S/FTP shielding with aluminum mylar foil and tinned copper braid minimizes electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable 10G performance even in electrically noisy environments.
- Reduces EMI/RFI interference
- Maintains signal clarity over 75 ft
- Supports 10GBASE-T deployments
Safety-First Design
The LSZH jacket emits minimal toxic fumes and low smoke if combusted, making this cable suitable for air-handling spaces, plenums, and other restricted ventilation areas.
- Safe for enclosed installations
- Flame retardant properties
- Reduced hazardous emissions
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for connecting network switches, NAS storage devices, modules, and PoE-enabled equipment in data centers, office networks, and surveillance systems. The 75-foot length provides flexibility for longer runs between racks or across rooms.
Common applications include linking 10GBASE-T switches to servers, powering IP cameras and wireless access points via PoE++, and connecting network devices in environments where cable flexibility and safety are priorities. The blue color aids in cable identification and organization within complex installations.
High-Speed Network Backbones
Deploy as patch cords in 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks where reliable throughput and minimal crosstalk are essential for data-intensive operations.
PoE++ Device Connectivity
Power and connect high-wattage PoE devices such as PTZ cameras, access points, and IoT sensors without separate power cables.

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 (10 Gigabits per second) with a bandwidth of 500 MHz. It is designed for high-speed network applications including 10GBASE-T deployments, providing reliable performance for data-intensive tasks across its full 75-foot length.
Can this cable deliver power to PoE devices?
Yes, this cable supports Power over Ethernet up to PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4) standards, delivering up to 100W of power. This makes it compatible with high-power PoE devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and IoT sensors that require both data connectivity and power through a single cable.
What does S/FTP shielding provide?
S/FTP (Shielded with Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding combines overall foil shielding with individual pair foil shielding. This construction provides enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring signal integrity in electrically noisy environments and maintaining performance over longer distances.
Why is the LSZH jacket important?
The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket minimizes toxic fumes and smoke emission if the cable is exposed to fire. This makes the cable safer for installations in enclosed spaces, air-handling areas, plenums, and poorly ventilated environments where traditional PVC jackets could pose health hazards during combustion.
What devices are compatible with this Ethernet cable?
This cable is compatible with network devices, switches, NAS storage devices, modules, PoE switches, access points, and IP cameras. It supports Cat 6/6a and Cat 5/5e standards, making it versatile for both high-speed upgrades and existing network infrastructure where reliable connectivity is required.
What warranty comes with this cable?
StarTech provides a lifetime limited warranty for this CAT6a Ethernet cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, offering long-term assurance of quality and reliability for commercial and institutional deployments where cable longevity is essential.
