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

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

The StarTech.com 15m Gray 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 racks. It delivers Gigabit connectivity with 100W PoE++. This cable suits UK data centres and office patch panels. Its slim profile improves airflow in crowded spaces.

Improved Airflow for Dense Racks

This Slim Cat6 cable is 36% thinner than standard Cat6. It enables better heat dissipation in confined spaces. The reduced diameter allows easier routing through tight cable management. You can maintain organised racks without sacrificing performance.

Reliable Gigabit and PoE++ Performance

It supports 1000 Mbit/s data transfer for fast network speeds. The cable meets IEEE 802.3bt standards for PoE++. It delivers up to 100W to power switches or cameras. Pure bare copper conductors ensure low resistance.

LSZH Jacket for Safer Installations

The jacket uses Low Smoke Zero Halogen material. This reduces toxic fumes during extreme heat or fire. It suits poorly ventilated areas and industrial settings. Always confirm local building code compliance for your site.

Snagless Connectors for Durability

Gold-plated RJ45 contacts provide a precise fit. They minimise wear and signal loss over time. The snagless boots protect clips during installation. This reduces snags when routing through narrow gaps.

Individually Tested for Signal Integrity

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) and Return Loss. You get consistent performance for critical links.
