StarTech.com 2 m CAT6 Cable | Slim Snagless Design

The StarTech.com 2 m CAT6 Cable – Slim – Snagless RJ45 Connectors – Black is designed for high-density network racks where space and airflow are critical. It delivers a reliable Gigabit connection for UK data centres and server rooms. This cable is ideal for IT professionals needing flexible, neat cabling in tight spaces.

Slim Profile for Better Airflow

This cable is 36% thinner than standard networking cables. The reduced diameter improves airflow around equipment. Better airflow helps maintain lower operating temperatures in crowded racks. The design also increases flexibility for easier cable routing.

Snagless RJ45 Protection

The cable features snagless boots that protect the RJ45 clips. This design prevents snagging during installation in narrow spaces. It reduces the risk of clip damage when pulling cables through management panels. This ensures a secure connection every time.

Certified Performance and Safety

It is tested to comply with ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Category 6 requirements. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket offers enhanced fire safety. Gold-plated connectors provide optimum conductivity and reduce signal loss. The U/UTP shielding helps minimise crosstalk for stable data transfer.

Robust Construction for Demanding Use

The cable uses 28 AWG stranded copper conductors. This construction maintains performance even in demanding Ethernet applications. The PVC jacket offers durability for daily use. It is built to keep Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) within acceptable limits.
