Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable complies with ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards for guaranteed CAT6 performance, operating at frequencies up to 250MHz. Its 36% slimmer diameter compared to standard CAT6 cables enhances flexibility and airflow in high-density setups.
The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction reduces crosstalk and return loss, while the stranded conductors provide excellent flexibility for routing in tight spaces.
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.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the length of this CAT6 Ethernet cable?
This StarTech.com cable measures 2 feet (0.61 meters) in length, making it ideal for short connections between nearby network devices such as switches, routers, and patch panels in rack-mounted installations.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
Both ends feature snagless RJ45 male connectors with gold-plated contacts. The snagless design prevents accidental disconnection in crowded cable bundles, while the gold plating ensures optimal signal transmission and corrosion resistance.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable supports PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4) up to 90W, making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE-enabled equipment while maintaining network connectivity.
What does LSZH jacket mean and why is it important?
LSZH stands for Low-Smoke Zero Halogen, a jacket material that emits minimal toxic fumes if combusted. This makes the cable safer for use in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces like server rooms and network closets where fire safety is a concern.
How does this slim CAT6 cable differ from standard CAT6 cables?
This cable has a 36% slimmer diameter (3.6mm) compared to standard CAT6 cables, providing greater flexibility and better airflow in high-density installations. Despite the reduced size, it maintains full CAT6 performance with 1 Gbps speed and 250MHz frequency support.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
This cable is compatible with any device requiring an RJ45 Ethernet connection, including network switches, routers, patch panels, IP cameras, and PoE devices. It supports CAT6 and backward compatible with CAT5/5e standards for versatile deployment options.
