Product Features
Technical Overview
Engineered to meet ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards, this CAT6 cable guarantees reliable performance with minimized near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and return loss. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction provides effective noise rejection while maintaining a slim 3.6mm outer diameter for easy routing.
The low-smoke zero halogen (LSZH) jacket offers enhanced safety in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces, emitting minimal toxic fumes if combusted. With 4 twisted pairs and 8 conductors, the cable delivers 1 Gbps data transfer rates across its 25-foot length.
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.

FAQ
What is the advantage of a slim CAT6 cable compared to standard CAT6?
Slim CAT6 cables have a 36% smaller diameter than standard CAT6 cables, which provides greater flexibility and easier routing in tight spaces. This design reduces cable bulk in high-density installations like network closets and patch panels, improving airflow between devices and making cable management more efficient while maintaining full CAT6 performance specifications.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable fully supports Power over Ethernet, including PoE++ up to 90W as defined by IEEE 802.3bt Type 4. The 28AWG bare copper conductors ensure consistent power delivery to PoE devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones, eliminating the need for separate power cables in many installations.
What does LSZH jacket mean and why is it important?
LSZH stands for Low-Smoke Zero Halogen, a type of cable jacket material that emits minimal smoke and no toxic halogen gases when exposed to fire. This makes the cable safer for use in enclosed spaces, poorly ventilated areas, and environments where fire safety is a priority, such as data centers, hospitals, and public buildings.
What devices are compatible with this Ethernet cable?
This CAT6 cable is compatible with any network device featuring RJ45 ports, including computers, switches, routers, patch panels, and PoE devices. It supports connections to CAT6, CAT5e, and CAT5 network equipment while delivering 1 Gbps data transfer rates. The gold-plated connectors ensure reliable connectivity across all compatible devices.
What does 'Fluke tested' mean for this cable?
Fluke testing indicates that the cable has been verified using professional-grade Fluke network testing equipment to ensure it meets or exceeds CAT6 performance standards. This testing confirms proper wire mapping, length verification, and performance metrics including near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and return loss, providing assurance of reliable performance in professional installations.
What is the warranty coverage for this Ethernet cable?
This StarTech.com cable comes with a lifetime warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product. This extensive warranty reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the cable's construction quality and durability, providing long-term reliability for your networking infrastructure investments.
