Aqua Cat6a S/FTP cable with snagless RJ45 plugs

STARTECH

STARTECH NLAQ7FCAT6APATCH network ethernet cable

SKU CH-PKFD-8SB60 MPN NLAQ7FCAT6APATCH

A 7 ft Cat6a LSZH shielded patch cable rated for 10 Gbps and 100 W PoE++

  • Supports 1/2.5/5/10 Gbps for fast multi-gigabit networking
  • LSZH jacket emits low smoke and zero halogen for safer fire performance
  • 100 W PoE++ compliant with IEEE 802.3bt-2018 powers Type 4 devices
  • S/FTP shielding blocks EMI/RFI for reliable signal integrity
  • Snagless molded boots with strain relief protect connectors during installation

Application fit

This 7 ft aqua Cat6a S/FTP patch cable is built for installers who need Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen jacketing to meet plenum or riser fire codes in commercial buildings. The snagless RJ45 boots protect latch tabs during pulls through cable trays or dense patch panels, and the shielded construction resists EMI in electrically noisy plant rooms.

Who should look elsewhere

Buyers who only need a short desktop patch lead for a home router will find the LSZH jacket and shielding unnecessary cost and stiffness. Installers who require outdoor burial ratings, armoured sheathing or fibre-optic bandwidth should specify a different cable type.

Deciding specification

The cable complies with IEEE 802.3bt-2018 for 100 W PoE++ delivery, so it can power Type 4 devices such as PTZ cameras or wireless access points without a separate power run. It also supports 10 Gbps throughput at the full 100 m channel distance defined for Cat6a.

Questions about this item

What real-world speeds does the 10Gbps rating deliver in a live network?

The cable supports 1, 2.5, 5 and 10Gbps connections, so the actual throughput matches the capability of the linked switch or NIC at any of those speeds.

How does the IEEE 802.3bt-2018 PoE++ standard limit power delivery on this cable?

It enables up to 100W for Type 4 PoE devices, allowing power-hungry endpoints such as PTZ cameras or access points to run over the same run.

What clearance do the snagless boots need behind a patch panel or switch port?

The molded snagless boots add a small overhang beyond the RJ45 body; allow a few millimetres extra depth so the latch clears adjacent ports.
