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 networks with low near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and return loss for consistent data transmission.
The S/FTP shielding combines aluminum mylar foil with a tinned copper braid to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI). This construction maintains signal clarity over the full 75-foot length, making it suitable for demanding network deployments.
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.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.

Safety-First Construction
The LSZH jacket emits minimal toxic smoke and halogen gases if exposed to fire, making this cable safer for use in enclosed spaces, plenum areas, and poorly ventilated installations. This safety feature is particularly valuable in commercial buildings and data centers.
- Low smoke emission
- Zero halogen materials
- Suitable for enclosed spaces
Deployment / Use Cases
This Cat6a patch cable is designed for professional network installations where both high-speed data transfer and power delivery are required. Its 75-foot length provides flexibility for connecting equipment across rooms or between racks in data center environments.
The cable's combination of 10 Gbps throughput and 100W PoE++ support makes it particularly valuable for modern network infrastructures that integrate power and data over a single connection.
IP Surveillance Systems
Connect PoE++ IP cameras and access points with both data and power over a single cable. The 75-foot reach allows flexible camera placement while maintaining 10 Gbps connectivity for high-resolution video streams.
Data Center and Server Room Connections
Link switches, servers, and network storage devices with reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The shielded construction prevents interference in dense rack environments, while the LSZH jacket enhances safety in enclosed server rooms.
Office Network Infrastructure
Deploy for workstations, VoIP phones, and wireless access points in commercial settings. The snagless connectors prevent damage during frequent connections, and the white color blends with office decor.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat6a cable?
This StarTech Cat6a cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps (10 Gigabit per second) with a bandwidth of 500MHz. It is designed for 10GBASE-T network deployments and maintains this performance across the full 75-foot length when properly installed in compatible network environments.
Can this cable deliver power to connected devices?
Yes, this cable supports Power over Ethernet up to 100W using the IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 standard (commonly called PoE++). This allows it to power compatible devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones directly through the Ethernet connection without requiring separate power cables.
What does S/FTP shielding provide for network performance?
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 significantly reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring cleaner signals and more reliable 10 Gbps performance, especially in electrically noisy environments or when bundled with other cables.
Why is the LSZH jacket important for installation safety?
The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket emits minimal toxic smoke and no halogen gases if exposed to fire. This makes the cable safer for use in enclosed spaces, plenum areas, data centers, and poorly ventilated installations where traditional PVC-jacketed cables could pose health risks in fire situations.
What types of devices are compatible with this Ethernet cable?
This cable is compatible with standard network devices including switches, routers, servers, NAS storage, PoE switches, access points, and IP cameras. It supports Category 6a, 6, and 5e/5 network standards, making it versatile for both new 10 Gbps deployments and upgrades to existing network infrastructure.
How does the 27AWG wire gauge affect cable performance?
The 27 American Wire Gauge (AWG) specification indicates the thickness of the copper conductors. This 27AWG design uses pure bare copper wires that provide excellent conductivity with lower resistance compared to copper-clad aluminum alternatives. The result is more consistent performance characteristics, better power delivery for PoE++ devices, and reliable signal transmission over the cable's 75-foot length.
