StarTech.com 8ft Cat6a S/FTP Ethernet Patch Cable with Low Smoke Zero Halogen Jacket, 10Gbps, 100W PoE Support

StarTech 8ft CAT6a Ethernet Cable, White Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) 10 GbE 100W PoE S/FTP Snagless RJ-45 Network Patch Cord

The StarTech.com NLWH-8F-CAT6A-PATCH is a high-performance 8-foot Ethernet cable designed for demanding network environments requiring reliable, multi-gigabit connectivity. This shielded Cat6a S/FTP patch cord supports data transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps, ensuring fast and error-free communication for applications such as high-resolution video streaming, large data transfers, and advanced networking setups. Its individually shielded twisted pairs wrapped in foil and braided outer shield significantly reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI), providing a stable signal even in noisy environments. The gold-plated shielded RJ45 connectors with snagless boots ease installation and protect the latch during routing, while integrated strain reliefs minimize cable stress at termination points, enhancing durability over time. The cable's outer jacket is made of Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material, which produces less dense smoke and fewer corrosive fumes during combustion, making it an eco-friendly and safer choice for commercial or residential installations. Supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE++) up to 100W, this cable is suitable for powering high-power devices like security cameras, Wi-Fi access points, and VoIP phones, complying with the IEEE 802.3bt-2018 standard. The cable’s construction with 100% stranded copper wire ensures optimal data integrity and stable power delivery, outperforming lower-quality copper-clad aluminum alternatives. ETL verified to meet ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards, the cable passes rigorous testing for insertion loss, return loss, and crosstalk, confirming its suitability for high-speed 10G applications. Backed by a lifetime warranty and supported with free lifetime technical assistance, the StarTech.com Cat6a Ethernet cable offers a reliable, environmentally conscious solution for modern network deployments with demanding performance and safety requirements.
