StarTech.com 3m Slim CAT6 Cable – Blue Snagless RJ45

StarTech.com 3 m CAT6 Cable | Slim Snagless Design

This slim CAT6 cable meets all Category 6 patch cable specifications to deliver a reliable Gigabit network connection in high-density data center applications. The StarTech.com 3 m CAT6 Cable – Slim – Snagless RJ45 Connectors – Blue is designed for IT professionals who need dependable performance in tight rack spaces. Its 28 AWG construction and snagless boots offer a practical solution for dense patch panels and switches.

Slim Profile for Better Rack Airflow

The cable design is 36% thinner than standard networking cables. This reduced diameter improves airflow and heat dissipation within crowded server racks. Because the cable is more flexible, routing is simpler in high-density environments. You get cleaner cable management without compromising on Category 6 performance.

Reliable Gigabit Connectivity

This patch cord is tested to comply with ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Category 6 requirements. It supports frequencies up to 250 MHz for stable data transfer. The U/UTP (UTP) shielding helps maintain signal integrity. So, you can trust this cable for connecting switches, routers, and network interface cards.

Snagless Connectors for Durability

The snagless cable boot protects the RJ45 clips during installation. This feature prevents snagging or breaking when pulling the cable through narrow cable management arms. Gold-plated contacts provide optimum conductivity and help reduce signal loss due to oxidation. In practice, this extends the life of your connection points.

Safe and Compliant Construction

This cable is certified with Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) properties and does not contain halogen. It meets REACH and CE certifications and holds RoHS compliance. The PVC jacket and stranded conductor type offer flexibility and durability. For UK installations, verify that this cable meets your specific building or data centre compliance requirements.
