StarTech.com 15m Slim White CAT6 Ethernet Cable, UTP, LSZH, 100W PoE

StarTech.com 15m White Slim CAT6 Cable | 100W PoE++ & LSZH

The StarTech.com 15m White 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 high-density UK rack installations. This cable delivers Gigabit data and PoE++ power. Its slim profile improves airflow in crowded cabinets. It is ideal for engineers needing reliable connectivity in tight spaces.

Slim 28AWG Design for Better Airflow

This cable is 36% thinner than standard Cat6 cords. The reduced diameter allows better heat dissipation in confined racks. You can route cables easily through narrow gaps. The flexible LSZH jacket simplifies cable management. It helps maintain organised server rooms.

Full Gigabit and PoE++ Performance

The cable supports 1000 Mbit/s data transfer rates. It meets Cat6 specifications for bandwidth up to 250 MHz. The 28AWG pure bare copper conductors ensure low resistance. It supports IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ for up to 100W. This powers devices like switches and cameras reliably.

Snagless Boot and Strain Relief

The snagless boot protects RJ45 clips during installation. This prevents damage when routing through tight spaces. Gold-plated contacts minimise signal loss and wear. The strain reliefs add durability at the connector junction. This ensures a long service life in busy environments.

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 makes it suitable for industrial settings and transport hubs. It complies with building codes in many UK areas. Always verify local fire safety regulations for your site.

Individually Tested for Signal Integrity

Each cable is tested with a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer. It meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 standards. This ensures low Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss. You get consistent signal quality for critical networks. The UTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference.
