Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable utilizes a 4-pair, 8-conductor design with Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) shielding, optimized for gigabit Ethernet networks. The gold-plated RJ45 connectors ensure corrosion resistance and reliable electrical contact, supporting frequencies up to 250MHz. The Low-Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket offers flame-retardant properties and low toxic fume emission, making it suitable for enclosed or poorly ventilated areas.
Key technical attributes include compliance with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 for PoE++ applications, enabling power delivery up to 90W for devices like IP cameras and PoE switches. The cable's 3.6mm outer diameter enhances manageability, and features like strain relief and snag-resistant boots protect against physical damage. It is Fluke tested to verify performance across CAT6 and backward-compatible CAT5/5e networks.
Key Product Advantages
The slim design and robust construction of this CAT6 cable provide distinct advantages in network deployment. Its reduced diameter allows for better cable management and improved airflow in high-density racks, while maintaining full performance standards. The LSZH jacket adds a safety layer by minimizing hazardous emissions in case of fire, aligning with environmental compliance such as RoHS and WEEE directives.
Enhanced Flexibility
The 36% slimmer profile compared to standard CAT6 cables enables easier routing through tight conduits and crowded panels, reducing installation time and strain on connectors.
Reliable PoE Delivery
Supports PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4) for up to 90W power delivery, ensuring stable operation of power-hungry devices like IP cameras and wireless access points without separate power cables.
Durable Build
Features like break-resistant construction, stranded wires, and strain relief ensure long-term reliability in frequent plug/unplug scenarios, backed by a lifetime warranty.
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for high-density network closets, patch panels, and data centers where space optimization is critical. Its short length and slim design make it perfect for connecting adjacent devices in racks, such as switches to servers or routers to modems, reducing clutter and improving accessibility for troubleshooting.
Common applications include linking PoE switches to IP cameras, boardroom AV equipment, and network devices in racks or patch panels. The pink color allows for easy visual identification in complex cabling systems, aiding in maintenance and organization. It also suits environments requiring safety compliance, like schools, hospitals, or industrial settings, due to its LSZH jacket and flame-retardant features.
Network Closet Optimization
Use in crowded network closets to streamline cable runs, enhance airflow between devices, and simplify management with color-coded identification.
PoE Device Connectivity
Connect PoE++ switches to powered devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, or wireless APs, delivering both data and power over a single cable for cleaner installations.

FAQ
What is the length of this StarTech.com CAT6 cable?
This cable is 6 inches (152.40 mm) long, making it ideal for short-distance connections between adjacent devices in racks, patch panels, or network closets where minimal cable management is desired.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, it supports PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4) for up to 90W power delivery. This allows you to power devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones directly through the Ethernet cable without separate power adapters.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
It features snagless RJ45 male connectors on both ends, with gold-plated contacts to ensure a secure connection and reduce signal loss. The connectors are designed to prevent snagging and damage in high-density setups.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This cable uses Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) shielding, which is sufficient for most office and data center environments. It provides reliable performance for gigabit Ethernet while maintaining flexibility and ease of installation.
What is the jacket material, and why is it important?
The jacket is made of Low-Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material, which is flame-retardant and emits low toxic fumes if combusted. This makes it safer for use in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces like server rooms or industrial areas.
Can this cable be used with older network standards?
Yes, it is backward compatible with CAT5 and CAT5e networks, while delivering full CAT6 performance up to 1 Gbps and 250MHz. It has been Fluke tested to ensure compatibility and reliability across these standards.
