Blue LSZH Cat6a shielded Ethernet cable, four feet, snagless RJ45 connectors

STARTECH

STARTECH NLBL4FCAT6APATCH network ethernet cable

SKU CH-7CRX-7GAFP MPN NLBL4FCAT6APATCH

A 4 ft Cat6a shielded LSZH cable with snagless RJ45 connectors supports 10 Gbps and 100 W PoE++

  • Supports 1/2.5/5/10 Gbps speeds with Cat6a performance
  • LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke and fumes in fire events
  • S/FTP shielding blocks EMI/RFI for reliable data transmission
  • 100 W PoE++ compliant to IEEE 802.3bt-2018 standard
  • Snagless RJ45 boots with strain relief protect connectors during routing

4 ft LSZH Cat6a S/FTP cable

This four-foot StarTech cable is built for installers and network engineers who need a short, shielded patch lead that meets LSZH fire-safety requirements. The snagless boots protect the RJ45 latch during pulls through cable trays or tight rack spaces. It suits new structured-cabling projects and upgrades where low-smoke, halogen-free jackets are specified.

10 Gbps multi-speed support

The cable carries 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps Ethernet over its S/FTP construction, so it matches the highest speed the connected ports negotiate. Shielding around each pair and an overall braid suppress EMI and alien crosstalk in dense bundles. No higher data rate is defined for this category, so the link will not exceed 10 Gbps.

100 W PoE++ and LSZH jacket

IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 delivery up to 100 W runs on the same conductors without extra heating concerns in normal indoor temperatures. The LSZH sheath emits minimal smoke and no halogen gas if exposed to flame, aiding evacuation visibility. Typical patch-cable current draw stays well within the conductor rating.

Questions about this item

What does the 10Gbps rating mean when this cable is installed in a real network?

The cable supports Multi-Gigabit speeds of 1, 2.5, 5 and 10Gbps, so it will carry the full bandwidth of any 10GbE port you connect it to.

Which PoE standard does the 100W capability follow and what does it actually power?

It complies with IEEE 802.3bt-2018 and delivers up to 100W PoE++, enough for Type 4 devices such as high-power access points or cameras.

How do the snagless boots and strain reliefs affect fitting the cable into a patch panel or switch?

The molded snagless boots protect the RJ45 latch during routing, and integrated strain reliefs stop sharp bends at the connector, making dense patch-panel installs easier.
