Product Features
Technical Overview
Engineered to ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards, this Cat6 cable ensures guaranteed performance with low near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and return loss. The 4-pair, 8-conductor UTP design supports Power over Ethernet (PoE++) up to 90W, complying with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 specifications for powering devices like IP cameras and PoE switches.
The 50-micron gold-plated contacts provide a precise fit, while the stranded copper wiring enhances flexibility. The LSZH jacket is flame-retardant and emits low toxic fumes if combusted, making it suitable for poorly ventilated areas.
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.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the length of this Cat6 Ethernet cable?
This StarTech.com cable measures 7 feet (2.13 meters) in length, making it suitable for short to medium-distance connections within racks, patch panels, or between nearby network devices.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, it supports PoE++ up to 90W, complying with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 specifications. This allows it to deliver both data and power to compatible devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and PoE switches.
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, while the gold plating ensures a precise fit and minimizes signal loss.
What does LSZH jacket mean and why is it important?
LSZH stands for Low-Smoke Zero Halogen. This jacket material emits minimal toxic fumes and smoke if combusted, making it safer for use in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces like data centers and network closets.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable. It uses twisted pair construction without additional shielding, which is standard for most Cat6 patch cables in typical office and commercial environments.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
It is compatible with network devices, racks, patch panels, PoE switches, IP cameras, and other standard Ethernet equipment. It supports Cat6 and backward-compatible Cat5/5e connections for 1 Gbps data transfer.
