StarTech.com 1.5m CAT6a LSZH S/FTP Network Cable – Black

StarTech.com 1.5m CAT6a Ethernet Cable | LSZH 10GbE Patch Cord

This StarTech.com 1.5m CAT6a Ethernet Cable – Black – Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) – 10GbE 500MHz 100W PoE++ Snagless RJ-45 w/Strain Reliefs S/FTP Network Patch Cord supports high-speed data and power. It is designed for UK offices and server rooms needing robust 10GBase-T connectivity. The LSZH jacket offers a safer option for public spaces. Because it is plug and play, setup is quick and simple.

Technical Performance and Shielding

This cable uses S/FTP (S-STP) shielding. It protects against electromagnetic interference and noise. This is vital for stable 10Gbps signals. The 500 MHz rating supports Multi-Gigabit speeds. In practice, this reduces downtime. The copper conductors are stranded for flexibility. The 27 AWG wire size fits standard RJ-45 ports. However, you should confirm your network hardware supports 10GBase-T.

Safety with Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)

The LSZH jacket is a key safety feature. It produces low smoke and no halogen if exposed to fire. This improves visibility during evacuation. It is a better choice than PVC for many UK buildings. Because safety is critical, LSZH is often specified for public areas. This cable meets CE and RoHS compliance standards.

100W PoE++ Power Delivery

This cable supports PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt-2018). It delivers up to 100W to powered devices. This is ideal for high-power equipment like PTZ cameras or access points. The stranded conductors handle the current safely. So you can run data and power over one cable. Verify your switch or injector supports PoE++ Type 4.

Snagless RJ-45 with Strain Relief

The snagless boots protect the RJ-45 latch during installation. This prevents damage when routing cables in tight racks. Integrated strain reliefs reduce stress at the connector. This helps maintain a solid connection over time. Because of this, the cable is suited for frequent moves or changes.
