StarTech.com 5m CAT6a Ethernet Cable - Blue - Low Smoke Zero Halogen Cable solves network bottlenecks and safety concerns

Network congestion, electromagnetic interference and fire-safety worries are common in office spaces, data centres and smart-home environments. When signals are corrupted by EMI or a fire produces hazardous smoke, downtime and health risks increase. This cable tackles both issues: its S/FTP shielding blocks interference, and its low-smoke, zero-halogen jacket limits toxic emissions, giving you a reliable, safe link for data and power.

Usages of StarTech.com 5m CAT6a Ethernet Cable - Blue - Low Smoke Zero Halogen Cable

Ideal for a range of professional and home scenarios:

• Connecting PoE++ security cameras or Wi-Fi access points that need up to 100 W of power.
• Linking high-performance workstations to a 10 GbE switch in a corporate office.
• Wiring server racks or data-centre equipment where EMI protection is critical.
• Running cabling through ceiling or conduit in schools and hospitals where low-smoke standards are required.
• Extending home-theatre or gaming setups where ultra-fast, lag-free streaming is essential.
