Gray CAT6a Ethernet cable, snagless RJ45 plugs, S/FTP shielded, LSZH jacket

STARTECH

STARTECH 3ft Gray CAT6a Ethernet Cable 10G 500MHz S/FTP LSZH 27AWG 100W PoE

SKU CH-Y5DX-53WS7

Shielded CAT6a patch cable delivers 10 Gbps at 500 MHz with 100 W PoE support

  • Supports 10 Gbps data rates with 500 MHz bandwidth
  • 100 W PoE capability powers devices through the cable
  • Snagless boot protects RJ45 clips during installation
  • S/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and external interference
  • LSZH jacket emits low smoke and zero halogen in fire

Ideal for 10GBASE-T runs

This StarTech patch cord is a Category 6a S/FTP cable built for 10 Gbps Ethernet at 500 MHz. The 3 ft length suits short rack or desk connections. It carries 100 W Power over Ethernet and uses pure bare copper conductors. The LSZH jacket meets CE requirements for low-smoke installations.

Consistent throughput under load

The shielded twisted-pair construction and 27 AWG pure copper conductors maintain signal integrity during sustained 10 Gbps transfers. S/FTP shielding reduces alien crosstalk so the link stays at 500 MHz bandwidth without dropping to lower speeds. PoE power delivery remains stable across the full 100 W budget during continuous operation.

Snagless boots and LSZH jacket

Snagless RJ45 boots protect the locking tabs when cables are routed through tight cable managers or pulled through trunking. The low-smoke zero-halogen jacket complies with safety regulations in plenum or public areas. Shielded connectors preserve the S/FTP ground path from end to end.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 100 W PoE cable generate during all-day use?

The cable itself produces no measurable heat; only the connected PoE devices draw up to 100 W and dissipate their own warmth.

Which connectors must my switch and device already have for this cable to work?

Both ends need standard RJ45 ports; the snagless boots fit any 8P8C jack without adapters.

Will this 500 MHz shielded cable run reliably on my older Cat 5e patch panel?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible and will negotiate the highest speed both sides support, though the panel limits throughput to 1 Gbps.
