StarTech.com 10m Black Slim CAT6 Ethernet Cable, 100W PoE, UTP, LSZH, 28AWG

StarTech.com 10m Black Slim CAT6 | Slim High-Density PoE++ Cable

The StarTech.com 10m Black 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 dense rack environments. This cable delivers reliable Gigabit connectivity with PoE++ support. Because it is 36% thinner than standard cables, it improves airflow in tight spaces. It is ideal for UK data centres and crowded patch panels.

Slim Cable for Better Airflow and Routing

This Slim CAT6 patch cord is 36% thinner than standard Cat6 cables. This design enables greater airflow and heat dissipation in confined racks. The cable is also more flexible. So, it is easier to route through crowded patch panels and narrow gaps.

100W PoE++ for Powered Devices

The cable supports IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 PoE++. It delivers up to 100W of power to remote devices. This is suitable for powering PoE switches or boardroom cameras. Because it uses pure bare copper, conductivity is high and resistance is low.

Snagless RJ45 with Gold-Plated Contacts

The connectors feature snagless boots. These protect the RJ45 clips during installation. This reduces snags or breakage when routing. The contacts are gold-plated. This ensures a precise fit and minimises signal loss over time.

LSZH Jacket for Safer Installations

The jacket is Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH). It emits low smoke and toxic fumes if exposed to extreme heat. This makes it suitable for poorly-ventilated areas. It is also compliant with many building codes for residential and industrial settings.

Individually Tested for Signal Integrity

Each cable is tested using a Fluke® DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer™. It meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 specifications. This ensures minimal Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss (RL). You get consistent Gigabit performance.
