StarTech.com NLGN-3F-CAT6A-PATCH Cat6a Shielded Snagless Ethernet Cable, Green, LSZH

StarTech 3ft Green CAT6a Ethernet Cable, Snagless RJ45, 10G, 100W PoE, S/FTP, LSZH, 27AWG Pure Copper, 500MHz, Shielded Network Cord

Establish a dependable 10 Gbps network connection with the StarTech.com NLGN-3F-CAT6A-PATCH Cat6a Ethernet Cable. Designed for 10GBASE-T networks, this shielded patch cord supports frequencies up to 500 MHz and helps maintain reliable data transmission with reduced near-end crosstalk and return loss. It is suitable for connecting network switches, network-attached storage, SFP modules, access points, IP cameras, and other Ethernet devices.

The four-pair S/FTP design uses 27 AWG pure bare copper conductors for consistent conductivity, low resistance, and reduced signal loss. Individual aluminum-mylar foil shielding and a tinned copper braid help protect against electromagnetic interference in busy networking environments. Snagless connectors with 50-micron gold-plated contacts provide a secure fit while helping minimize connector wear and maintain dependable signal performance over repeated installations.

A flexible Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket supports safer routing through enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. The flame-retardant material produces low smoke and reduced toxic fumes when exposed to extreme heat, making the cable appropriate for residential installations and select industrial, transportation, and self-contained environments where building and safety requirements are important. The green jacket also supports quick visual identification within structured cabling systems.

The cable supports Power over Ethernet up to 100W, including IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 PoE++ applications, helping deliver both data and power to compatible devices such as PoE switches, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras. Backward compatibility with Cat 6 and Cat 5/5e standards allows integration with existing network infrastructure. StarTech.com part number NLGN-3F-CAT6A-PATCH is individually tested with a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer and ETL Verified for Cat6a performance, with RoHS compliance and a lifetime limited warranty.
