Description

StarTech N6PAT15BKS 15ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

This 15-foot black StarTech N6PAT15BKS Cat6 Ethernet cable is engineered for high-power delivery and data integrity in demanding network environments. Its slim 0.1-inch diameter and 28AWG stranded copper construction facilitate easier routing in tight spaces, while the Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket ensures safety compliance in plenum spaces or areas with strict fire codes. It supports up to 10 Gbps data transfer rates and is rated for 100W PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4), making it ideal for powering high-demand devices like advanced IP cameras, wireless access points, or other network equipment requiring substantial power over a single Ethernet cable.

Compatibility

This cable is designed to meet TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standards, ensuring broad compatibility with standard network infrastructure. It is suitable for use with any network device requiring Cat6 performance, including 10/100/1000Base-T and 10GBase-T Ethernet connections. Specifically, it is recommended for powering devices that draw up to 100W, such as high-performance IP surveillance cameras with integrated IR illuminators, PTZ cameras, or Wi-Fi 6/6E access points.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within a temperature range of 10°C to 60°C (50°F to 140°F) and should be stored between -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). It supports humidity levels from 10% to 80% RH. The 28AWG wire gauge and stranded copper conductors offer flexibility but are not intended for applications requiring the robustness of solid core cable for long-distance, fixed installations. The snagless connector style simplifies insertion and removal from network ports.
