StarTech.com 2m CAT6 Slim Cable – Blue Snagless RJ45

StarTech.com Slim CAT6 Cable | 2m Snagless RJ45 Blue

The StarTech.com 2 m CAT6 Cable – Slim – Snagless RJ45 Connectors – Blue is a compact networking patch lead designed for high-density IT environments. It delivers reliable Gigabit connectivity for UK data centres, server racks, and home offices. The slimline profile supports better airflow and easier cable management in tight spaces.

Slim Profile for High-Density Racks

This cable is 36% thinner than standard networking cables. The reduced diameter improves airflow around equipment. It also enhances flexibility for neat cable runs in crowded racks. Because the design is slimmer, installation is faster and less stressful on connectors.

Snagless RJ45 Connectors for Safe Installation

The snagless boot protects the RJ45 clip during pulling through conduits. This reduces the risk of snagging or breaking the latch. So, you can route cables through narrow spaces with confidence. The result is a more reliable and durable physical connection.

Reliable Gigabit Performance

This patch cord meets all Category 6 specifications for Gigabit networks. It is tested to comply with ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Category 6 requirements. The U/UTP (UTP) shielding helps maintain signal integrity. Therefore, it supports stable performance for demanding Ethernet applications.

Gold-Plated Contacts for Low Signal Loss

The connectors feature 50-micron gold plating on the contacts. Gold plating provides optimum conductivity and reduces oxidation. This helps minimise signal loss over time. In practice, it supports consistent data transmission for your network devices.

Safe and Certified Construction

The cable is certified Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) for safer use in enclosed spaces. It is also REACH and CE compliant. The RoHS certificate confirms restricted hazardous substances are limited. Note that UKCA status is not specified; verify with the manufacturer if required.

High-Quality Copper Conductors

Each cable uses 28 AWG stranded copper conductors. The construction is tested to keep Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) within acceptable limits. This supports reliable performance for demanding applications. The PVC jacket balances durability and flexibility for daily use.
