StarTech.com NLPL-3F-CAT6A-PATCH Cat6a Shielded Snagless Ethernet Cable, Purple, LSZH

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

Build a dependable 10 Gbps network connection with the StarTech.com NLPL-3F-CAT6A-PATCH Shielded Snagless S/FTP Cat6a Ethernet Cable. Designed for 10GBASE-T networks, this purple patch cable supports frequencies up to 500 MHz and helps maintain reliable throughput with low Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss (RL). It is suitable for connecting switches, network-attached storage (NAS), SFP modules, computers, and other compatible networking equipment.

Pure Bare Copper and Shielded Construction

The cable uses 27 AWG pure bare copper conductors to provide consistent conductivity, low resistance, and dependable signal transmission. Each twisted pair is protected with aluminum-mylar foil and a tinned copper braid to reduce electromagnetic interference in busy networking environments. Shielded 50-micron gold-plated connectors provide a precise fit and help minimize connector wear and signal loss during repeated installation and use.

Safe, Durable, and Versatile

A snagless connector design helps protect the locking tabs during routing and maintenance, while the flexible Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket supports installations where reduced smoke and toxic emissions are important. The jacket is suitable for enclosed or poorly ventilated areas, including residential and select industrial applications where building and safety requirements must be considered. The cable also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE++) devices with up to 100W output, including access points, IP cameras, and PoE switches.

The StarTech.com NLPL-3F-CAT6A-PATCH is backward compatible with Cat 6 and Cat 5/5e networks for straightforward integration into existing infrastructure. It is individually tested with a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer and verified to meet ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Cat6a performance requirements. RoHS compliance and a lifetime warranty further support dependable long-term deployment.
