STARTECH NLGN-5F-CAT6A-PATCH network ethernet cable 5ft green Cat6a S/FTP 10G 100W PoE 500MHz 27AWG

SKU CH-TQF4-EE61H MPN NLGN-5F-CAT6A-PATCH

Green Cat6a S/FTP patch cable delivers 10 Gbps at 500 MHz with snagless RJ45 plugs and 100 W PoE support

  • Snagless RJ45 connectors protect tabs during repeated plugging
  • S/FTP shielding supports 10 Gbps at 500 MHz bandwidth
  • 100 W PoE capability powers devices over the same cable
  • LSZH jacket with 27 AWG conductors reduces fire-smoke risk

Ready-to-connect 10Gbps patch cable

This five-foot Cat6a S/FTP lead ships with snagless RJ45 plugs on both ends so it clicks into place without catching on neighbouring ports. The green jacket is LSZH rated and built from 27AWG conductors for a slim, flexible run that suits dense patch panels or desk-side drops. It is aimed at installers and home users who need a certified 10Gbps link up to 500MHz without the bulk of heavier gauge cable.

100W PoE support is the deciding factor

The cable carries up to 100W of Power over Ethernet, letting you feed high-draw access points, cameras or VoIP phones from a single run. If your deployment only needs data or lower-power PoE+ devices, a standard Cat6a lead without the 100W rating will also work and may cost less. Buyers who need longer reach than five feet or a different colour code should look for other lengths in the same series.

Questions about this item

What does the 10 Gbps rating mean when the cable is installed in my network?

The cable can carry up to 10 Gbps of Ethernet traffic, so a 10 GbE link will run at line speed provided the switch and NIC also support 10 GbE.

What does the 500 MHz bandwidth figure limit in practice?

The 500 MHz bandwidth supports the full Cat6a frequency range, allowing 10 Gbps signalling over the entire 5 ft length without signal degradation.
