StarTech.com 7M CAT6A ETHERNET CABLE LSZH Specifications

Shielded CAT6A Performance

The cable is CAT6A, which supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet in practice. Shielding helps reduce electromagnetic interference in dense racks. This is useful near power cables or in busy cabinets. However, final performance depends on your NIC, switch, and overall cabling quality.

LSZH Safety for UK Buildings

The LSZH jacket limits smoke and halogen emissions during combustion. This matters in enclosed spaces and public buildings. It aligns with many UK fire-safety specifications. Confirm site compliance with your facilities manager or building inspector.

7 Metre Reach for Flexible Drops

A 7 metre length supports floor-box to desk runs and rack jumps. It offers slack for tidy cable management. In practice, avoid tight bends or kinks. Keep the bend radius within CAT6A guidelines to preserve signal quality.

RJ45 Connectors for Standard Networking

The cable uses RJ45 connectors for universal compatibility. It mates with standard Ethernet ports on PCs, printers, and switches. However, the input does not state the connector plating or latch type. Verify whether you need snagless boots or metal latches for your patch panels.

Box contents

No contents are specified in the input. If you need accessories, confirm what is included before ordering.
