Reliable High-Speed Connectivity
This 5ft StarTech Cat6a Ethernet cable is engineered to provide reliable 10 Gigabit per second (10Gbps) network speeds, perfect for connecting switches, NAS devices, and SFP modules.
Its S/FTP (shielded and foiled twisted pair) design reduces electromagnetic interference, ensuring data integrity and consistent performance.
Premium Construction and Materials
Featuring 27 AWG pure bare copper conductors, the cable offers low resistance and excellent conductivity for optimal signal quality.
The cable pairs are individually shielded with aluminum-mylar foil and wrapped in a tinned copper braid for enhanced EMI protection.
Durable and Safe Design
The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket is flame-retardant and emits low smoke and toxic fumes, enhancing safety in confined or poorly ventilated spaces.
Snagless RJ45 connectors with 50-micron gold plating provide a secure connection with minimal wear and signal degradation.
Versatile Compatibility and Power Delivery
Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE++) up to 100W, powering devices like PoE switches, access points, and IP cameras.
Fully backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5/5e standards for seamless integration into existing setups.
Quality Assurance and Certification
Each cable is tested individually using industry-standard Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer equipment to guarantee Cat6a performance.
ETL verification confirms compliance with electrical safety and performance standards.
