STARTECH NLWH5FCAT6APATCH network ethernet cable

SKU CH-QW9S-T7B5Q MPN NLWH5FCAT6APATCH

A 5 ft shielded Cat6a cable with LSZH jacket, snagless RJ45 plugs and 100 W PoE++ support for 10 Gbps links

  • Supports 10 Gbps multi-gigabit speeds with Cat6a performance
  • LSZH jacket emits low smoke and zero halogen for safer installations
  • S/FTP shielding blocks EMI and RFI interference effectively
  • 100 W PoE++ compliant with IEEE 802.3bt-2018 standard
  • Snagless RJ45 boots protect latch and provide strain relief

5 ft Cat6a LSZH Shielded Cable

This 5 ft Cat6a Ethernet cable uses Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen jacketing and S/FTP shielding to support multi-gigabit speeds up to 10 Gbps. It complies with the IEEE 802.3bt-2018 standard for 100 W PoE++ power delivery. Snagless molded boots with integrated strain relief protect the RJ45 latch during installation and prevent sharp bends at the connector.

Installers needing fire-safe materials

The LSZH construction suits environments where low smoke and reduced corrosive fumes are required for occupant safety during a fire. Shielding and 100 W PoE++ support make it appropriate for dense deployments with wireless access points or IP cameras. Buyers who need longer runs beyond the supplied length or who require unshielded UTP cabling for simpler termination should look at other options.

Handles 10 Gbps and 100 W PoE++ over short links

The cable comfortably carries 1/2.5/5/10 Gbps Ethernet and delivers full 100 W Type 4 PoE power to compatible devices. Its 5 ft length limits use to short patch connections between rack equipment, wall outlets, or desktop devices. Runs exceeding the channel distance limits for 10 GBASE-T or installations requiring plenum-rated CMP jackets are outside its design scope.

Questions about this item

What devices do I need that accept RJ45 connectors to use this 5 ft Cat6a S/FTP cable?

Any network equipment with standard RJ45 ports — routers, switches, servers, or PCs — will accept the snagless connectors on this cable.

Will this shielded Cat6a cable work reliably alongside older Cat5e or Cat6 patch leads in the same rack?

Yes, it is fully backward compatible and its S/FTP shielding prevents alien crosstalk from affecting adjacent legacy cables.

How can I confirm the link is running at 10 Gbps after I plug it in?

Check the port LEDs or OS network status; a negotiated speed of 10 Gbps shows the cable is performing to its Cat6a rating.
