User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this CAT6 cable?
This StarTech.com CAT6 patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10GbE) for distances up to 55 meters. It is also 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 while maintaining compatibility with existing equipment.
Does this Ethernet cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable fully supports Power over Ethernet up to 100W, compliant with the IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 (PoE++) standard. The 100% copper conductors with 24 AWG gauge ensure efficient power delivery to PoE-enabled devices such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, security cameras, and other network equipment without requiring separate power adapters.
What does LSZH mean and why is it important for network cables?
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen, a jacket material that produces minimal smoke and no toxic halogenated gases when exposed to fire. This is particularly important in enclosed spaces like data centers, office buildings, and public facilities where fire safety is critical. The LSZH jacket also makes this cable PVC-free and more environmentally friendly compared to traditional PVC-jacketed cables.
What is the advantage of the snagless boot design on this patch cable?
The snagless boot design features a protective collar around the RJ45 connector that prevents the retention clip from catching on other cables, ports, or rack components during installation and maintenance. This reduces the risk of accidental disconnection, connector damage, and cable strain, ensuring more reliable connections and longer cable life in high-density network environments.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded, and what applications is it best suited for?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, specifically designated as U/UTP in the specifications. UTP cables are ideal for most office, home, and data center environments where electromagnetic interference is minimal. The precise pair twisting and construction provide excellent crosstalk protection without the need for additional shielding, making it suitable for general network patching, workstation connections, and PoE applications.
What devices and equipment are compatible with this CAT6 patch cable?
This cable is compatible with a wide range of network devices including servers, routers, switches, network interface cards, NAS devices, VoIP phones, PoE-enabled equipment, workstations, notebooks, IPTV systems, and security cameras. The standard RJ45 connectors work with any Ethernet port, and the cable supports both data transmission and power delivery for PoE devices, making it versatile for various networking scenarios.
