## Summary description

The StarTech.com 5m CAT6a Ethernet Cable features a low smoke zero halogen design, supports 10GbE data transfer rates, and is suitable for PoE++ applications. Its S/FTP shielding ensures reliable performance, while the snagless RJ-45 connectors with strain reliefs provide durability and ease of use. Ideal for high-speed networking in various environments.

## Long description

StarTech.com 5m CAT6a Ethernet Cable Aqua supports 10GbE data rates and 500 MHz bandwidth while providing a Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (LSZH) outer jacket and S/FTP shielding for reduced interference. The 5 m Cat6a patch cable is rated for IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ (100W) and uses snagless RJ-45 connectors with integrated strain reliefs for reliable terminations and easier routing during installation.
Advantages
The LSZH jacket reduces toxic and corrosive fumes in case of fire compared with PVC-sheathed cables, improving visibility for evacuation and first responders. S/FTP shielding protects against electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference (EMI/RFI) to maintain stable multi-gigabit connections up to 10 Gbps. Snagless molded RJ-45 boots prevent connector tabs from catching and include strain relief to minimize stress at termination points. The cable supports Power over Ethernet up to 100W (PoE++) under the IEEE 802.3bt standard.
Suitable for
High-speed office and data center links requiring 10GbE or multi-gigabit performance
PoE++ deployments powering Type 4 devices such as high-power wireless access points, PTZ cameras, and lighting
Environments where low-smoke zero-halogen materials are required for safety or regulation compliance
Installations needing shielded cabling to reduce EMI/RFI impact
Key specifications
Length: 5 m
Standard: 10GBase-T (Cat6a), IEEE 802.3bt-2018 PoE++ support
Bandwidth: 500 MHz
Data rates: up to 10 Gbps (multi-gigabit compatible)
Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foil with braided drain/overall)
Connector: RJ-45 to RJ-45, snagless molded boots with strain relief
Jacket: Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (LSZH)
Colour: Aqua
Weight: 0.1746 kg
How to use
Route the Cat6a cable between network devices, ensuring the cable is supported and not bent sharply at termination points. Remove only the minimum amount of outer jacket if performing a custom termination; maintain shielding continuity where required. Insert the RJ-45 connectors fully into device ports until the tab engages. For PoE power delivery, connect to PoE-capable switches or injectors rated for IEEE 802.3bt to provide up to 100W to compatible devices.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and maintain separation from high-voltage power lines or strong EMI sources. Use appropriate cable management and grounding for shielded installations. Verify PoE switch or injector compatibility and cable length limits when delivering near-maximum PoE++ power.
