StarTech.com NLOR-3F-CAT6A-PATCH Cat6a Shielded Snagless Ethernet Cable, Orange, LSZH

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

Connect switches, networking devices, and high-performance peripherals with the StarTech.com NLOR-3F-CAT6A-PATCH Shielded Snagless Cat6a Ethernet Cable. Designed for 10GBASE-T networks, this orange patch cable supports data transmission speeds up to 10 Gbps and frequencies up to 500 MHz. It also supports Power over Ethernet Plus Plus (PoE++) devices with power delivery up to 100W, making it suitable for demanding wired network installations.

Pure Bare Copper and Shielded Construction

The four-pair shielded and foiled twisted-pair (S/FTP) design uses 27 AWG pure bare copper conductors for reliable conductivity, low resistance, and consistent signal performance. Each twisted pair is protected by aluminum-mylar foil, while the tinned copper braid provides enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference. Low Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and return loss characteristics help maintain dependable throughput in environments with multiple electronic devices.

Durable and Safer Installation

Snagless connectors with 50-micron gold-plated contacts help provide a secure fit while reducing connector wear and signal loss. The flexible Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket is flame retardant and designed to emit low smoke and fewer toxic fumes when exposed to extreme heat. This construction is well suited for residential installations, enclosed areas, and select industrial or transportation environments where building and safety requirements are important.

Versatile Network Compatibility

Use the StarTech.com NLOR-3F-CAT6A-PATCH cable to connect 10G switches, network-attached storage, SFP modules, wireless access points, IP cameras, PoE switches, and other Ethernet devices. It is backward compatible with Cat 6 and Cat 5/5e networks for straightforward integration into existing infrastructure. Each cable is individually tested with a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer and ETL Verified to support Cat6a performance in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards. The cable is also RoHS compliant and backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
