## Long description

StarTech.com 3m CAT6a Ethernet Cable (Black) provides shielded S/FTP Cat6a performance for multi-gigabit network connections up to 10GbE (10000 Mbps) and 500 MHz. The cable uses Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (LSZH) jacketing to reduce toxic fumes and smoke in the event of a fire and includes snagless RJ-45 connectors with integrated strain reliefs for reliable terminations and easier installations.
Advantages
The shielded S/FTP construction offers robust protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI) and crosstalk, ensuring stable high-speed data transmission. LSZH jacket material lowers smoke and corrosive gas production compared with PVC, improving visibility and safety during evacuations. The cable supports IEEE 802.3bt-2018 PoE++ delivering up to 100W to powered devices. Snagless molded RJ-45 boots protect the connector latches and include strain reliefs to reduce stress at termination points. The product includes lifetime support and technical assistance.
Suitable for
Multi-gigabit LAN backbones and switches (1/2.5/5/10Gbps)
Power over Ethernet Type 4 devices requiring up to 100W PoE++
Commercial and residential installations where LSZH jackets are preferred
Environments with high EMI/RFI where shielded cables are required
Patch panels, wall jacks and device connections requiring snagless RJ-45 terminations

How to use
Route the cable between devices ensuring the shielded connectors are fully inserted into RJ-45 ports. When installing through conduit or cable channels, use the snagless boots to prevent catch and protect the connector tab. For shielded terminations, ensure proper grounding of the shield at patch panels or networking equipment according to your site grounding practice. Connect endpoints such as switches, PoE injectors or PoE-capable devices and verify link speeds and PoE power delivery in your network management interface.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force; maintain bend radius recommendations for Cat6a cables. Use shielded patch panels and properly bonded grounding when deploying in high-EMI environments. Confirm device compatibility with IEEE 802.3bt when using PoE++ to supply up to 100W.
