StarTech.com 7m Black Slim CAT6 Ethernet Cable, 100W PoE, UTP, 28AWG

StarTech.com 7m Black Slim CAT6 Ethernet Cable | 100W PoE++ LSZH

The StarTech.com 7m 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 offers a reliable solution for dense UK network racks. This cable supports Gigabit speeds and high-power PoE++ devices. It is designed for improved airflow in tight spaces. Technical teams can deploy it for switches, cameras, and access points.

Slim 28AWG Design for High-Density Racks

This cable uses 28AWG pure bare copper conductors. The outer diameter is only 3.6 mm. This slim profile is 36% thinner than standard Cat6 cables. It allows better airflow in crowded patch panels. Heat dissipation improves in confined rack spaces. The cable remains flexible for easier routing.

Certified PoE++ Power Delivery

This cable supports IEEE 802.3bt networking standards. It handles PoE++ (4PPoE) up to 100W total budget. This is ideal for power-hungry devices. Examples include high-performance PoE switches and boardroom cameras. The U/UTP construction maintains signal integrity. Reliable power delivery is ensured over the full 7m length.

LSZH Jacket for Safer Installations

The jacket uses Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material. It emits minimal smoke and toxic fumes if exposed to heat. This is critical for poorly ventilated areas. It suits industrial settings and transport environments. Compliance with UK building codes should be verified for specific sites. The black finish remains discreet in professional setups.

Snagless Connectors with Gold Plating

The connectors feature 50-micron gold plating. This ensures a precise fit and low signal loss. The snagless boot protects RJ45 clips during installation. This reduces snags or breakage in narrow gaps. Strain reliefs add durability at the termination points. The cable is plug-and-play ready.
