StarTech.com 25ft Red Cat6a Ethernet Cable with S/FTP Shielding and Snagless RJ45 Connectors

StarTech.com 25ft Red CAT6a Ethernet Cable, Snagless RJ45, 10G, 100W PoE, S/FTP, LSZH, 27AWG Bare Copper, 500MHz, Shielded Network Patch Cord

Enhance your high-speed network performance with the StarTech.com NLRD-25F-CAT6A-PATCH 25-foot red Cat6a Ethernet cable designed for reliable 10 Gbps data transfer. This shielded S/FTP patch cable features a durable construction optimized for demanding environments, ensuring consistent and low-latency connectivity. The cable's 27 AWG pure bare copper conductors provide excellent conductivity and low resistance, which translates to minimal signal loss during data transmission. Its aluminum-mylar foil shielding combined with tinned copper braid offers superior electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection, making it suitable for installations in electrically noisy environments or where high data integrity is critical. The snagless RJ45 connectors with 50-micron gold plating ensure a snug, corrosion-resistant connection that minimizes wear over time, while the LSZH jacket enhances safety by emitting low smoke and toxic fumes if exposed to extreme heat or fire. This flexible jacket allows routing through tight spaces, ideal for complex network setups or confined areas, including industrial and residential settings. The cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE++) up to 100W, making it perfect for connecting PoE-enabled devices such as IP cameras, access points, and switches, all while maintaining high throughput and reliable power delivery. Backward compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 6 standards, this cable ensures seamless integration with existing network infrastructure. It is Fluke tested and meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards, guaranteeing performance and quality assurance. Whether deploying a new 10GBASE-T network or upgrading an existing setup, this Cat6a patch cord offers a dependable solution for high-speed data and PoE applications, supported by a lifetime limited warranty for peace of mind.
