StarTech.com CAT6a LSZH S/FTP Patch Cable - 10GbE PoE++ - White - 5m to 10m
The StarTech.com CAT6a LSZH S/FTP Patch Cable White is built for network installers and facilities managers who need reliable 10 Gigabit connectivity in environments where fire safety and signal integrity are priorities. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket reduces toxic fume output in the event of a fire, making it well suited to poorly ventilated spaces, transit vehicles, and residential settings. Shielded S/FTP construction and ETL-verified performance protect against EMI and RFI on demanding runs.
Why this product
10GbE speeds, ETL verified
It supports 1/2.5/5/10 Gbps multi-gigabit connections and is Fluke tested and ETL verified to meet ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards, confirming real-world performance rather than just theoretical ratings.
S/FTP shielding blocks EMI and RFI
Individual foil-wrapped twisted pairs inside a braided outer shield reduce electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, keeping signal integrity high in electrically noisy environments.
LSZH jacket for fire-safe environments
The Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket produces low levels of corrosive fumes and smoke in a fire, improving visibility for evacuations and making it safer than PVC in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces.
100W PoE++ for power-hungry devices
Compliance with IEEE 802.3bt-2018 (Type 4) means it can carry up to 100W of Power over Ethernet, covering the full range of PoE++ devices on a single cable.
Snagless gold-plated RJ45 connectors
Shielded RJ45 connectors with gold-plated pins and strain-relief boots prevent accidental disconnection and protect the locking tab during routing and installation.

- Fully compatible with Cat6a network equipment using standard RJ45 ports.
- Backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5/Cat5e standards and equipment.
- Supports PoE++ Type 4 devices requiring up to 100W (IEEE 802.3bt-2018).
- Suitable for use in fire-sensitive environments such as trains, aircraft, and residential installations where LSZH cabling is required or preferred.
- Shielded S/FTP construction requires shielded infrastructure (patch panels, wall plates) to realise the full shielding benefit; mixed shielded/unshielded runs reduce effectiveness.
- Not designed for outdoor or direct-burial use; no outdoor or UV-resistant rating is stated in the product record.
Best for
- High-density, noise-prone environments — S/FTP shielding and 500 MHz frequency rating make it a strong choice for data centres, AV installations, or industrial spaces with heavy EMI.
- Fire-regulated installations — the LSZH jacket meets the safety requirements of transit, aviation, and residential applications where halogen-free cabling is mandated or specified.
- PoE++ device deployments — 100W PoE++ support means a single cable handles power and data for Type 4 devices such as high-wattage access points and pan-tilt-zoom cameras.
- Verified performance requirements — ETL verification and ANSI/TIA-568.2-D compliance suit installations where documented, tested cable performance is required by specification.
- Long structured-cabling runs — available up to 10 m in this range, with stranded pure bare copper conductors suited to permanent or semi-permanent patch runs.
Trade-offs
- Budget unshielded installs — S/FTP construction and LSZH jacket carry a higher cost than standard UTP PVC Cat6a cables; buyers who do not need shielding or LSZH compliance will pay for features they do not require.
- Runs beyond 10 m in this range — the longest available variant is 10 m; installations requiring longer single-cable runs will need a different product.
- Outdoor or direct-burial routing — no outdoor or UV rating is stated; this cable is not specified for exterior use.
- Legacy equipment limited to 100 Mbps — while backward compatible with Cat5/5e, deploying a 10GbE-rated shielded cable on 100 Mbps infrastructure provides no performance benefit.
