- Low-smoke zero-halogen jacket
- RoHS compliant
- Reduced toxic emissions
Reliable Performance
Fluke testing ensures cable performance meets CAT6 specifications, while gold-plated contacts and bare copper conductors maintain signal integrity for consistent network throughput.
- Fluke tested validation
- Gold-plated contacts
- Bare copper conductors
Deployment / Use Cases
This slim CAT6 cable excels in environments where traditional patch cables create clutter or impede maintenance access. The combination of slim design, PoE++ support, and reliable performance makes it versatile for various networking applications.
In network closets and data centers, the reduced cable diameter allows for denser patching without sacrificing airflow. For PoE deployments, the cable efficiently delivers both data and power to devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones while maintaining signal quality.
High-Density Network Installations
Ideal for network racks, patch panels, and switch cabinets where space is limited and cable management is critical. The slim profile reduces bundle size while maintaining full CAT6 performance.
PoE Device Connectivity
Supports PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4) for powering high-wattage devices like pan-tilt-zoom cameras, access points, and digital signage while transmitting data simultaneously.

FAQ
What is the advantage of a slim CAT6 cable compared to a standard CAT6 cable?
The slim design reduces cable diameter by 36%, allowing for better cable management in high-density network environments. This results in improved airflow between devices, easier troubleshooting access, and reduced bundle size in network racks and patch panels while maintaining full CAT6 performance specifications.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices?
Yes, this cable supports PoE++ up to 90W, compliant with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 specifications. It can deliver both data and power to devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other PoE-enabled equipment while maintaining signal integrity and performance.
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 and smoke if combusted. This makes the cable safer for use in enclosed spaces, poorly ventilated areas, and environments where fire safety is a concern, as it reduces hazardous emissions during a fire event.
Is this cable backward compatible with older network standards?
Yes, this CAT6 cable is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT5 network equipment. It will work with any device that uses RJ45 connectors, though maximum performance will be limited by the lowest-rated component in the connection chain (cable, connector, or network device).
What does 'Fluke tested' mean for this Ethernet cable?
Fluke testing refers to verification using professional network cable testers from Fluke Networks to ensure the cable meets CAT6 performance specifications. This testing validates parameters like near-end crosstalk (NEXT), return loss, and attenuation, providing assurance of reliable performance in actual deployment scenarios.
What types of devices is this cable suitable for connecting?
This cable is designed for connecting network devices including switches, routers, patch panels, computers, IP cameras, PoE devices, and other Ethernet-enabled equipment. Its slim profile makes it particularly useful in crowded network cabinets, data centers, and installations where space optimization is important.
