StarTech.com NLWH Cat6a Ethernet Cable, 5 m, Shielded Screened, White Low Smoke Zero Halogen

StarTech NLWH Series Ethernet Cable, 5m Cable Length, 27AWG Conductor Size - NLWH-5M-CAT6A-PATCH

This ethernet cable provides screened Cat6a connectivity for high-speed local networks in enclosed environments. It is a 5m shielded LAN lead designed to deliver 10Gbps data throughput and support Power over Ethernet up to 100W. The jacket is Low Smoke Zero Halogen for installations where reduced smoke and toxic emissions are required.

Features and Benefits:

• 500MHz bandwidth enables high-throughput network transfers
  27AWG stranded copper lowers resistance for consistent signals
  S/FTP screening reduces electromagnetic interference for stability
  Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors minimise wear and contact loss
  LSZH jacket emits low toxic fumes for safer enclosures

Applications

• Suitable for 10GBASE-T switch-to-server connections
  Used with PoE++ access points and IP cameras
  Ideal for NAS and SFP module interlinks
  Can be used in transport and self-contained environments
  Used for edge deployments requiring screened cabling

What conductor composition is used and how does it affect performance?

It uses stranded Pure bare copper conductors in 27AWG which provide consistent conductivity and lower signal loss compared with alternative conductor types.

How is electromagnetic interference mitigated in this cable?

Each twisted pair is wrapped in aluminium-mylar foil with an overall braided shield to deliver S/FTP screening against EMI.

What testing verifies the cable meets category performance?

Individual units are tested using a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyser and ETL verified to confirm Cat6a performance.

Which environmental temperatures are acceptable for operation?

The cable operates between 0°C and +50°C and can be stored between -20°C and +60°C without degradation.
