Green shielded CAT6a patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors, 3 feet long

STARTECH

STARTECH NLGN-3F-CAT6A-PATCH 3ft green CAT6a network ethernet cable

SKU CH-A23N-Y6ZT4 MPN NLGN-3F-CAT6A-PATCH

A shielded Cat6a patch cord with snagless RJ45 connectors rated for 10Gbps, 500MHz and up to 100W PoE++

  • Cable categoryCAT6a
  • First connectorRJ-45 (Male)
  • Second connectorRJ-45 (Male)
  • Conductor gauge27 AWG
  • Product typeEthernet Cable
  • Overall length3 ft (0.91 m)
  • Supports 10 Gbps for fast 10GBASE-T networks
  • 500 MHz bandwidth handles high-frequency data signals
  • Snagless RJ45 connectors protect tabs during frequent moves
  • S/FTP shielding with pure copper reduces crosstalk
  • Rated for 100 W PoE++ to power devices

Purpose and fit

This three-foot green CAT6a patch cord is built for 10GBASE-T links up to 10 Gbps at 500 MHz. The S/FTP shielding and pure bare copper conductors keep crosstalk low in dense rack or desktop runs. It suits installers who need a short, verified jumper for 100 W PoE++ gear.

What the bundle changes

Snagless boots protect the RJ45 tabs during repeated patch-panel changes. Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation in humid cabinets. The LSZH jacket meets low-smoke requirements for plenum-adjacent routes. ETL verification confirms the cable meets the stated category performance without extra tester time.

Install reality

The 27 AWG stranded wire bends easily around tight cable managers but can kink if pulled around sharp corners. Shield continuity depends on fully seating each connector; a partially inserted plug drops the link to lower speeds. The short length leaves no slack for rack movement, so plan the patch-panel port order before terminating.

Questions about this item

Will the 27 AWG pure copper conductors or the gold-plated RJ45 connectors need replacement after long-term PoE++ use?

The 27 AWG pure copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 connectors are built for continuous 100W PoE++ loads and do not require scheduled replacement under normal operation.

What performance limit appears first when running 10GBASE-T at 500MHz over this 3-foot S/FTP cable?

The cable is ETL verified for 10Gbps at 500MHz, so the 10GBASE-T signalling ceiling is reached before any cable-induced attenuation or crosstalk limit on this length.

Does the LSZH jacket and S/FTP shielding keep heat and noise low when the cable carries 100W PoE++ all day?

The LSZH jacket and S/FTP shielding dissipate the modest heat from 100W PoE++ without audible noise, and the cable remains within its rated temperature range during continuous use.
