Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards for guaranteed CAT6 performance, supporting data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s across its 4 twisted pairs. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction maintains signal clarity while the 50-micron gold-plated contacts minimize insertion loss and oxidation over time.
The low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket is flame-retardant and emits minimal toxic fumes if combusted, making it suitable for poorly ventilated areas like network closets and server racks. With 8 stranded copper conductors, the cable maintains flexibility for tight bends without compromising durability.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This slim CAT6 cable combines performance with practical design features that address common networking challenges. The reduced diameter not only saves space but also improves airflow between devices, helping to maintain optimal operating temperatures in crowded installations.
Enhanced Power Delivery
Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE++) up to 90W per IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 specifications, enabling reliable power to connected devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without separate power adapters.
- 90W PoE++ capability
- IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 compliant
- Stable power for PoE devices
Superior Signal Integrity
Features low near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and return loss characteristics that maintain signal quality over the cable's length. The bare copper conductors provide better conductivity than copper-clad aluminum alternatives.
- Minimized crosstalk
- Bare copper conductors
- Gold-plated contacts
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is specifically designed for environments where space optimization and reliable connectivity are paramount. The slim profile and flexible jacket make it excellent for routing through cable management panels, patch panels, and network racks where traditional cables might create congestion.
Common applications include connecting network switches to patch panels in data centers, linking PoE devices like security cameras in surveillance systems, and establishing temporary network connections during troubleshooting or equipment testing. The bright yellow color aids in visual identification and cable tracing in complex installations.
High-Density Networking
Ideal for network closets and data centers where multiple cables must coexist in limited space. The slim design allows for more cables in standard pathways without compromising performance.
- Space-saving diameter
- Improved airflow
- Easier cable management
PoE Device Connectivity
Reliably connects and powers PoE-enabled devices including IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and IoT sensors. The cable's construction ensures consistent power delivery alongside data transmission.
- Power over Ethernet support
- Stable 90W delivery
- Network device compatibility
Physical Profile
This 1-foot cable features a distinctive yellow LSZH jacket that provides both visual identification and safety benefits. The slim 3.6mm diameter and flexible construction allow for easy routing in confined spaces, while the snagless boot design prevents catching on rack components during installation or maintenance. Weighing just 0.60 ounces, the cable adds minimal load to cable management systems.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the length of this StarTech.com CAT6 cable?
This cable measures 1 foot (0.30 meters) in length, making it ideal for short connections between adjacent network devices, patch panels, or equipment in rack installations where minimal cable slack is desired.
What type of connectors does this Ethernet cable have?
Both ends feature standard RJ45 male connectors with snagless boots to prevent accidental disconnection. The connectors have 50-micron gold-plated contacts that ensure reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance over time.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable fully supports Power over Ethernet, including PoE++ up to 90W per IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 specifications. This allows it to deliver both data and power to compatible devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones.
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 if exposed to fire. This makes the cable safer for use in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces like network closets, server rooms, and raised floor environments.
What is the difference between this slim cable and standard CAT6 cables?
This cable has a 36% slimmer diameter (3.6mm) compared to standard CAT6 cables, allowing for better airflow and more cables in confined spaces. Despite the reduced size, it maintains full CAT6 performance specifications including 1 Gbit/s throughput and 250MHz frequency support.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
This cable works with any standard Ethernet device including network switches, routers, patch panels, computers, and PoE-enabled equipment like IP cameras and wireless access points. It's backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT5 networks while delivering CAT6 performance when used with compatible hardware.
