STARTECH NLWH2FCAT6APATCH network ethernet cable

SKU CH-GQ7W-X567J MPN NLWH2FCAT6APATCH

A 2 ft Cat6a LSZH shielded Ethernet cable with snagless RJ45 connectors supporting 10 Gbps and 100 W PoE++

  • Supports 10 Gbps speeds with Cat6a performance
  • LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke in fire emergencies
  • 100 W PoE++ powers devices over single cable
  • Snagless boots protect RJ45 tabs during installation
  • S/FTP shielding blocks EMI and RFI interference

What this cable is

The StarTech NLWH2FCAT6APATCH is a two-foot Cat6a shielded patch cable built for multi-gigabit networks running at 1, 2.5, 5 or 10 Gbps. It uses low-smoke zero-halogen jacketing and S/FTP shielding to resist EMI and reduce toxic fumes in a fire. The cable meets IEEE 802.3bt-2018 for 100 W PoE++ delivery to Type 4 devices.

Check your setup

Verify that your switch, router or NIC ports negotiate at 2.5 Gbps or higher if you need the full bandwidth. Confirm the connected equipment supports IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ before relying on 100 W power delivery. The snagless boots add a small amount of connector depth, so ensure the jack spacing on your patch panel or wall plate allows the latch to release.

Sustained-load behaviour

The LSZH jacket and full S/FTP construction maintain signal integrity during continuous 10 Gbps throughput without the degradation seen in unshielded cables. Shielding also prevents alien crosstalk when bundles run parallel over long distances. PoE++ current handling stays stable at the rated 100 W because the conductor gauge and contact plating are qualified to the 2018 standard.

Questions about this item

Does the 2 ft cable come with the RJ45 connectors already attached, or do I need to buy them separately?

The cable ships with RJ45 connectors pre-terminated on both ends, each protected by snagless molded boots and integrated strain relief.

How do I decide between the 1/2.5/5/10 Gbps speed ratings for my network?

The cable supports all listed speeds; your actual throughput will match the lowest-rated device or switch port in the link.

What does the 100 W PoE++ rating mean when the cable is installed in a real setup?

It confirms the cable meets IEEE 802.3bt-2018 Type 4 requirements, so it can safely deliver up to 100 W to compatible access points, cameras or other PoE devices.
