StarTech.com 10m Blue Slim CAT6 Ethernet Cable | Slim LSZH Patch Cord

The StarTech.com 10m Blue Slim CAT6 Ethernet Cable, Snagless, 100W PoE, UTP, LSZH, 28AWG Pure Bare Copper Wire, Slim RJ45 Network Patch Cord w/Strain Reliefs, Individually Tested is designed for high-density UK network racks. It delivers Gigabit connectivity and PoE++ power. This cable suits system integrators and IT facilities managers needing reliable patching in tight spaces. Its slim profile improves airflow and simplifies routing.

Slim 28AWG Design for High-Density Racks

This cable uses 28AWG pure bare copper conductors. It is 36% thinner than standard Cat6 patch cords. The reduced diameter increases airflow in crowded patch panels. It also enhances flexibility for neat cable management. The snagless boot protects RJ45 clips during installation.

100W PoE++ Power and Gigabit Data

The cable supports IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ (4PPoE) up to 100W. It delivers both data and power to connected devices. This eliminates the need for separate power adapters. It is ideal for powering PoE switches or cameras. The cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks.

LSZH Jacket for Safer Installations

The jacket is Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH). It emits minimal smoke and toxic fumes if exposed to heat. This improves safety in confined or poorly ventilated areas. It suits industrial settings and transport environments. Always verify local building code compliance for your installation.

Individually Tested for Signal Integrity

Each cable is tested with a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer. It meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 specifications. This ensures low near-end crosstalk and return loss. You get consistent signal performance for Gigabit networks. The gold-plated contacts minimise wear and signal loss.
