StarTech.com 15m Black Slim CAT6 Ethernet Cable, UTP, 28AWG, LSZH

StarTech.com 15m Black Slim CAT6 Ethernet Cable | Slim LSZH PoE++

The StarTech.com 15m 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 built for dense rack environments. It delivers Gigabit data and PoE++ power reliably. This cable is ideal for UK network engineers. It offers improved airflow and flexibility. The design suits high-density patch panels.

Slim 28AWG Design for Dense Racks

This cable uses 28AWG pure bare copper wire. It is 36% thinner than standard Cat6. This reduces bulk in crowded racks. Improved airflow helps lower operating temperatures. The slim jacket maintains full Gigabit performance. It supports up to 1000 Mbit/s data transfer.

100W PoE++ Power Delivery

It supports IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 PoE++. This provides up to 100W total power. You can power switches and cameras directly. The 4-pair UTP design ensures stable voltage. Gold-plated contacts minimise resistance. This is vital for high-power devices.

LSZH Jacket for Safer Installations

The jacket uses Low Smoke Zero Halogen material. It emits minimal toxic fumes during a fire. This is essential for enclosed UK server rooms. It suits trains, aircraft, and offices. The outer diameter is 3.6 mm. This maintains flexibility while meeting safety standards.

Snagless Connectors for Durability

The snagless boot protects RJ45 clips during installation. This prevents damage when routing through tight gaps. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion. They ensure a precise, long-lasting fit. The cable is Plug and Play. No configuration is required.

Individually Tested for Reliability

Each cable is tested with a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer. It meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 specs. This ensures minimal Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT). It also controls Return Loss (RL). You get consistent signal integrity.
