StarTech.com NLBK Cat6a Ethernet Cable, 3 m, Shielded Screened, Black Low Smoke Zero Halogen

This Ethernet cable provides a shielded, high-speed link for network devices in environments where low smoke and zero halogen materials are required. It is intended for 10GBASE-T deployments and supports delivery of power to devices while maintaining signal integrity in electrically noisy locations. The jacket material reduces toxic emissions in enclosed spaces, while screened construction and stranded copper conductors maintain performance across typical operating temperatures.

• 10 Gbps maximum data rate improves high-bandwidth throughput
• 500MHz frequency range reduces crosstalk and improves margin
• 100W PoE++ support powers demanding network devices
• S/FTP screening limits EMI for congested installations
• 27 AWG stranded copper lowers resistance for stable conductivity

• Suitable for connecting 10 G switches and NAS systems
• Ideal for PoE access points and IP Camera installations
• Used with SFP modules and server uplinks
• Can be used in enclosed transport environments requiring LSZH
• Suitable for retrofit in Cat6 and Cat5/5e networks

It uses stranded Pure bare copper conductors in four pairs with individual aluminium‑mylar foil pair shields and an overall braid.

Both RJ45 plugs are fitted with 50‑micro gold plating and snagless strain reliefs to reduce wear and insertion loss.

The cable operates between 0°C and +50°C and can be stored between -20°C and +60°C with humidity up to 85% RH.

Each cable is individually tested using a Fluke DSX2‑8000 CableAnalyser and carries ETL verification for Cat6a performance.

The sheath is Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) and the cable meets CE and RoHS compliance.
