Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable operates at a data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s across a frequency of 250MHz, supporting high-bandwidth applications without compromise. The Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) construction with four twisted pairs (eight conductors) provides reliable performance in typical office and industrial environments where external interference is minimal. Gold-plated 50-micron contacts on the RJ45 connectors ensure optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance for long-term reliability.
The 28AWG pure bare copper wire delivers efficient power transmission for PoE++ devices, complying with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 specifications. Low Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss (RL) characteristics maintain signal clarity, while the stranded conductor design enhances flexibility for routing in tight spaces. The cable's outer diameter measures 3.6mm (0.14 inches), contributing to its slim profile and ease of management.
Key Product Advantages
The slim design and robust construction of this Ethernet cable offer distinct advantages for network deployments where space and reliability are critical. Its reduced diameter allows for better cable management and improved airflow, reducing heat buildup in high-density setups. The LSZH jacket provides enhanced safety by emitting low toxic fumes if combusted, making it suitable for enclosed or poorly ventilated areas like server rooms and industrial facilities.
Enhanced Safety
The Low-Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket is flame retardant and produces minimal hazardous smoke, meeting RoHS and WEEE environmental compliance standards for safer installations.
- Flame retardant
- Low toxic fume emission
- RoHS/WEEE compliant
Durability Features

FAQ
What is the length of this StarTech.com CAT6 Ethernet cable?
This StarTech.com Slim CAT6 Ethernet cable measures 7 feet (approximately 2.13 meters) in length. This patch cable length is ideal for connecting devices within rack enclosures, between nearby network equipment, or in office setups where short to medium-distance connections are needed without excess cable clutter.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of this Ethernet cable feature snagless RJ45 male connectors. Each connector has gold-plated 50-micron contacts for optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance. The snagless design prevents the connector latch from catching on other cables or equipment during installation and removal, reducing damage risk in frequent-connection environments.
Does this CAT6 cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this Slim CAT6 cable fully supports Power over Ethernet, including PoE++ up to 90W compliance with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 specifications. The 28AWG pure bare copper conductors efficiently deliver both data and power to connected devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other PoE-enabled equipment without requiring separate power cables.
What does LSZH jacket mean and why is it important?
LSZH stands for Low-Smoke Zero Halogen, a jacket material that produces minimal smoke and no halogenated gases when exposed to fire. This is particularly important in enclosed spaces like server rooms, data centers, and industrial facilities where traditional PVC jackets can emit toxic fumes. The LSZH jacket enhances safety during fire incidents while maintaining flexibility for routing in tight spaces.
Is this cable backward compatible with older network standards?
Yes, this CAT6 Ethernet cable is fully backward compatible with CAT5 and CAT5e network equipment and infrastructure. It will operate at the highest speed supported by the connected devices, making it suitable for upgrading existing networks without replacing all cabling. The cable has been Fluke tested to ensure it meets CAT6 performance standards while maintaining compatibility with earlier specifications.
What applications is this slim Ethernet cable best suited for?
This slim CAT6 cable excels in high-density environments where space optimization is critical. It's ideal for network closets, patch panels, server racks, and cable management systems where traditional cables create bulk. The slim design improves airflow between devices and makes tracing individual cables easier during troubleshooting. It's also well-suited for PoE applications in security systems, office networks, and industrial settings where both data and power need reliable delivery.
