StarTech.com NLGR-3F-CAT6A-PATCH 3 ft Gray Shielded Cat6a Ethernet Cable, Snagless RJ45, 10Gbps, PoE++, S/FTP LSZH

StarTech 3ft Gray CAT6a Ethernet Cable, Snagless RJ45, 10G, 100W PoE, S/FTP, LSZH, 27AWG Pure Copper, 500MHz, Shielded Network Patch Cord

Establish a reliable high-speed network connection with the StarTech.com NLGR-3F-CAT6A-PATCH Shielded Snagless Cat6a Ethernet Cable. Designed for 10GBASE-T networks, this gray patch cord supports data rates up to 10Gbps and frequencies up to 500MHz, helping maintain consistent throughput for switches, network-attached storage, SFP modules, access points, IP cameras, and other critical networking equipment.

Pure Bare Copper and Shielded Construction

The cable uses 27AWG pure bare copper conductors to provide dependable conductivity, low resistance, and minimal signal loss. Its four-pair shielded and foiled twisted-pair S/FTP design combines individual aluminum-mylar foil shielding with a tinned copper braid to reduce electromagnetic interference and help preserve signal integrity in demanding environments. The cable supports Power over Ethernet, including PoE++ devices requiring up to 100W, and is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5/5e networks.

Durable and Safer Installation

Snagless RJ45 connectors with 50-micron gold-plated contacts provide a secure fit while helping reduce connector wear and signal degradation. The flexible Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket is flame retardant and produces low smoke and reduced toxic fumes when exposed to extreme heat. This makes the cable suitable for residential installations and certain enclosed, industrial, transportation, or poorly ventilated environments where safety and building-code considerations are important.

Verified Cat6a Performance

The StarTech.com NLGR-3F-CAT6A-PATCH is individually tested with a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer and verified to meet ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Cat6a performance requirements. Low Near-End Crosstalk and Return Loss characteristics help support reliable, low-latency connections for edge networks and PoE-enabled devices. The cable is supplied as a single gray network patch cord and includes StarTech.com's lifetime warranty.
