Blue 20ft Cat6a shielded Ethernet cable with snagless RJ45 connectors

STARTECH

STARTECH NLBL20FCAT6APATCH 20ft network ethernet cable

SKU CH-YTA3-G2WNV MPN NLBL20FCAT6APATCH

A 20 ft shielded Cat6a cable rated for 10 Gbps and 100 W PoE++ with snagless RJ45 plugs and LSZH jacket

  • Supports 10Gbps speeds for high-bandwidth networks
  • 100W PoE++ powers Type 4 devices without extra wiring
  • LSZH jacket emits low smoke and no halogen in fire
  • S/FTP shielding blocks EMI and RFI interference
  • Snagless boots protect RJ45 tabs during installation

Cable purpose

This 20ft Cat6a Ethernet cable connects network devices at speeds up to 10Gbps and supports 1/2.5/5Gbps links. The shielded S/FTP construction and LSZH jacket suit commercial installs where fire safety and EMI protection are required. It is not for buyers who need longer runs or outdoor-rated cable.

Sustained performance

The cable meets IEEE 802.3bt-2018 for 100W PoE++ delivery, so powered devices stay supplied during continuous high-throughput traffic. Shielded twisted pairs maintain signal integrity over the full length under sustained load. It does not serve installations that demand fibre-grade latency or distances beyond copper limits.

Build and connectors

Snagless moulded boots with integrated strain relief protect RJ45 tabs during routing and prevent sharp bends at termination points. The LSZH jacket emits low smoke and no halogen in fire conditions, aiding evacuation safety. The blue colour aids cable identification, but the cable lacks armoured sheathing for harsh industrial environments.

Questions about this item

Does the 100 W PoE++ support generate noticeable heat when the cable runs at full load all day?

The cable complies with IEEE 802.3bt-2018 and is rated for 100 W PoE++, so it handles continuous high-power delivery without overheating.

What network ports must my switch or router already have to use this Cat6a cable at 10 Gbps?

Your switch or router needs RJ45 ports that support 10 Gbps Multi-Gigabit speeds (1/2.5/5/10 Gbps) to utilise the cable’s full bandwidth.

Will the snagless RJ45 connectors fit securely into the older Cat5e wall jacks I still have installed?

Yes, the RJ45 connectors are backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 jacks, and the snagless boots protect the latch during insertion and removal.
