User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this CAT6 cable?
This StarTech.com CAT6 cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps (10 Gigabit per second) at distances up to 55 meters. It is backward compatible with lower-speed standards including 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, and 5 Gbps, making it suitable for both current and future network upgrades. The cable is rated for 250 MHz bandwidth and complies with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 requirements.
What devices can be powered using the PoE capability of this cable?
This cable supports up to 100W Power over Ethernet (PoE++) compliant with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 standards. It can power various PoE-enabled devices including VoIP phones, wireless access points, security cameras (including PTZ models), network switches with PoE passthrough, digital signage, LED lighting systems, and thin clients. The 24 AWG copper conductors ensure stable power delivery alongside data transmission.
What are the advantages of the LSZH jacket on this Ethernet cable?
The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket produces significantly less smoke and toxic halogen gases compared to standard PVC cables in the event of a fire. This enhances safety in enclosed spaces like data centers, server rooms, office buildings, and public facilities where reduced smoke and toxicity are critical for evacuation and firefighting. The LSZH material is also PVC-free and environmentally compliant with EU RoHS regulations.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor or industrial environments?
While this cable features durable construction with a PVA copolymer jacket that resists bending and fraying, it is primarily designed for indoor use. The LSZH jacket provides enhanced fire safety for commercial installations but does not include weatherproofing or UV resistance for prolonged outdoor exposure. For outdoor applications, specifically rated outdoor Ethernet cables with additional environmental protection would be more appropriate.
What does ETL verification mean for this network cable?
ETL verification indicates that this cable has been independently tested and verified to meet ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 performance standards. This ensures the cable delivers consistent electrical characteristics including proper impedance, crosstalk reduction, and signal integrity. ETL verification provides assurance of quality and performance compliance, distinguishing it from uncertified cables that may not meet published specifications.
Can this cable be used to connect gaming consoles or streaming devices?
Yes, this CAT6 Ethernet cable is ideal for connecting gaming consoles, streaming devices, smart TVs, and media players that require stable high-speed connections. The 10 Gbps capability far exceeds the requirements of most consumer devices, ensuring minimal latency for online gaming and smooth 4K/8K video streaming.
