Product Features
Technical Overview
This Slim Cat6 cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbps across its 15-foot length, with a frequency of 250 MHz for stable network performance. It utilizes Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) construction with four twisted pairs (eight conductors) to reduce crosstalk and maintain signal integrity. The 50-micron gold-plated contacts provide a precise fit, minimizing resistance and ensuring durable connections.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities extend to PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4), delivering up to 90W for devices like IP cameras, PoE switches, and other networked equipment. The cable's 3.6mm outer diameter and flexible LSZH jacket facilitate routing in tight spaces, and its stranded wire design enhances durability against bending and wear.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines slim design with robust construction to address common challenges in network infrastructure. Its reduced profile improves cable management and airflow, while maintaining full Cat6 performance for high-speed data and power delivery.
Enhanced Flexibility
The 36% slimmer diameter allows easier bending and routing in congested areas, reducing strain on connectors and improving installation efficiency in high-density setups.
- Ideal for tight cable trays
- Reduces bundle bulk
- Improves troubleshooting access
Safety and Reliability
LSZH jacket material minimizes toxic fume emission in case of fire, making it suitable for poorly ventilated or enclosed spaces. Gold-plated contacts and bare copper wire ensure consistent electrical performance.
- Safe for indoor use
- Low Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT)
- Strain relief features
Deployment / Use Cases
This Slim Cat6 patch cable is versatile for various networking scenarios, particularly where space constraints and reliable power delivery are priorities. Its design supports both data transmission and high-wattage PoE applications across commercial and institutional environments.
Common deployments include connecting network devices in server racks, linking patch panels to switches in data centers, and powering PoE-enabled devices like security cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones. The purple color aids in cable identification and organization, streamlining maintenance and upgrades.
High-Density Network Closets
Use in crowded network cabinets to reduce cable bulk, improve airflow, and simplify cable management without sacrificing performance or PoE capabilities.
PoE Device Connectivity
Reliably power and connect IP cameras, boardroom cameras, and other PoE++ devices up to 90W, ensuring stable operation in security and AV setups.

FAQ
What is the length and color of this Cat6 cable?
This StarTech.com Slim Cat6 Ethernet cable is 15 feet (4.57 meters) long and features a purple Low-Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket. The purple color aids in cable identification and organization in multi-cable installations, while the length provides practical reach for connecting devices in typical office or data center setups.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable fully supports Power over Ethernet, including PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4), which can deliver up to 90W of power. This makes it suitable for connecting and powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE-enabled equipment without needing separate power cables.
What are the connector types on each end?
Both ends of the cable feature RJ-45 network connectors with male gender. Each connector is gold-plated for optimal conductivity and durability, and includes a snagless boot design to prevent accidental disconnection during cable management in racks or patch panels.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This cable uses Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) construction. It does not have additional shielding layers, which keeps the cable flexible and cost-effective while still providing reliable performance for typical office and data center environments where electromagnetic interference is minimal.
What does LSZH jacket mean and why is it important?
LSZH stands for Low-Smoke Zero Halogen, a jacket material that emits minimal toxic smoke and no halogen gases when exposed to fire. This makes the cable safer for use in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces like aircraft, ships, or building plenums, reducing health risks during combustion incidents.
What is the warranty for this Ethernet cable?
StarTech.com provides a lifetime limited warranty for this Slim Cat6 Ethernet cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, ensuring long-term reliability and support for your networking infrastructure investments.
