Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards, guaranteeing performance up to 250MHz with 1 Gbps data transfer rates. Its unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction with four twisted pairs (eight conductors) provides reliable connectivity for network devices, racks, patch panels, and PoE switches.
The cable's low-smoke zero halogen (LSZH) jacket offers safety in enclosed spaces by emitting minimal toxic fumes if combusted. Fluke testing verifies compliance with CAT6 and backward compatibility with CAT5/5e networks, ensuring dependable operation in mixed environments.
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.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the length of this StarTech.com CAT6 cable?
This StarTech.com Slim CAT6 Ethernet Cable measures 20 feet (6.10 meters) in length, providing ample reach for connecting network devices in office setups, server racks, or between equipment in data centers while maintaining optimal signal integrity.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable fully supports Power over Ethernet, including PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4) up to 90W. This allows it to deliver both data and power to compatible devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones over a single connection.
What type of connectors does this Ethernet cable have?
Both ends feature snagless RJ45 male connectors with gold-plated contacts. The snagless design prevents the connector latch from catching during installation, while the gold plating ensures corrosion resistance and reliable electrical connectivity for consistent network performance.
Is this CAT6 cable shielded or unshielded?
This cable uses Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) construction, which is suitable for most office and commercial environments where electromagnetic interference is minimal. The four twisted pairs effectively reduce crosstalk while maintaining the cable's slim profile and flexibility.
What does LSZH jacket mean for this network cable?
LSZH stands for Low-Smoke Zero Halogen, a safety-rated jacket material that emits minimal toxic smoke and no halogen gases if exposed to fire. This makes the cable ideal for enclosed spaces, plenum areas, and poorly ventilated installations where fire safety is a priority.
Can this Slim CAT6 cable be used with CAT5e equipment?
Yes, this cable is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT5 networks. It has been Fluke tested to ensure it meets CAT6 performance standards while maintaining reliable connectivity with older network equipment, providing flexibility in mixed-environment deployments.
