StarTech.com Cat6a S/FTP Patch Network Cable, 12ft, White - High-Speed Multi-Gigabit Ethernet with Shielded RJ45 Connectors and PoE++ Support

StarTech.com 12ft 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-12F-CAT6A-PATCH is a high-performance Cat6a shielded Ethernet cable designed for reliable, error-free data transmission at multi-gigabit speeds up to 10Gbps. Featuring individually foil-wrapped twisted pairs and an outer braided shield, this cable offers superior protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring optimal signal integrity across demanding network environments. Its robust shielding design minimizes noise and crosstalk, making it ideal for data centers, enterprise networks, and high-bandwidth applications. The cable is tested to meet ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards, and it has been verified by Fluke testing for consistent performance and compliance with industry benchmarks.

Designed with eco-consciousness in mind, this LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket produces minimal smoke and corrosive fumes in the event of a fire, promoting safety and visibility during emergencies. The braided construction enhances durability and flexibility, resisting damage from repeated bending or installation stresses. The RJ45 connectors are equipped with snagless molded boots that protect the latch from damage during cable routing, and integrated strain reliefs help prevent sharp bends at connection points, extending the cable's lifespan. This cable also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE++) up to 100W, enabling seamless powering of compatible devices such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras, thereby reducing the need for additional power supplies and simplifying network setups.

With a length of 12 feet and a clean white finish, this cable is suitable for both professional and residential installations where high-speed, reliable connectivity is required. Its construction uses 100% stranded copper wire, which ensures stable data transmission and consistent PoE power delivery, unlike lower-quality copper-clad aluminum solutions. The cable’s specifications include a bandwidth of 500 MHz, making it suitable for multi-gigabit network environments, and it features four twisted pairs of S/FTP shielding for maximum performance. Backed by a lifetime warranty and comprehensive technical support, the StarTech.com Cat6a S/FTP Patch Network Cable is a reliable choice for demanding networking needs.
