Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards for guaranteed CAT6 performance, operating at frequencies up to 250MHz with a data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s. Its unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction reduces crosstalk, while the low-smoke zero halogen (LSZH) jacket provides safety in enclosed spaces by emitting minimal toxic fumes if combusted.
The snagless strain-relief boots protect the connectors during installation and removal, and the stranded wire design enhances durability and flexibility. With four twisted pairs and eight conductors, it supports backward compatibility with CAT5 and CAT5e networks.

FAQ
What is the length and color of this StarTech.com CAT6 cable?
This cable is 20 feet (6.10 meters) long and features a green Low-Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket. The green color aids in easy identification and organization within network setups, while the length is suitable for patch panel connections and device linking in typical office or commercial environments.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, it supports Power over Ethernet up to 90W, compliant with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 (PoE++). This allows it to deliver both data and power to devices like IP cameras, PoE switches, and other networked equipment, eliminating the need for separate power cables and simplifying installations.
What type of connectors does this Ethernet cable have?
Both ends feature snagless RJ45 male connectors with gold-plated contacts. The snagless design includes strain-relief boots to prevent damage during plugging and unplugging, while the gold plating ensures a precise fit and reduces signal loss for consistent performance.
Is this cable shielded, and what is the jacket material?
It uses Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) construction, which reduces crosstalk without additional shielding layers. The jacket is made of Low-Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material, which is flexible, flame-retardant, and emits minimal toxic fumes if combusted, making it safe for enclosed spaces.
What is the wire gauge and data transfer rate?
The cable uses 28 AWG pure bare copper conductors, providing efficient power delivery and signal integrity. It supports a data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s at frequencies up to 250MHz, meeting CAT6 performance standards for reliable high-speed networking.
Is this cable tested and certified for performance?
Yes, it is Fluke tested and compliant with ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards, ensuring guaranteed CAT6 performance. This certification verifies its ability to handle 1 Gbit/s speeds, PoE++ power delivery, and reliable operation in professional networking environments.
