Description

StarTech N6PAT20PLS 20ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PAT20PLS is a 20-foot purple, snagless Cat6 Ethernet cable designed for high-power Power over Ethernet (PoE++) applications and high-speed data transmission. Its construction supports up to 100W of power delivery via IEEE 802.3bt Type 4, making it suitable for powering demanding network devices like PTZ cameras, high-density Wi-Fi access points, or industrial IoT sensors. The 28AWG stranded copper conductors and 250 MHz bandwidth ensure reliable 10 Gbps data transfer over its 20-foot length, while the Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket minimizes hazardous emissions in case of fire, critical for plenum spaces or sensitive environments. The snagless design protects the RJ45 connectors during installation.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered to support devices compliant with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 (PoE++) standards, delivering up to 100W. It is compatible with network switches, routers, and end devices that require high power budgets and high-speed data connectivity. The TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard ensures interoperability with standard Ethernet networking equipment. It is suitable for use with IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other network-attached devices requiring more power than standard PoE or PoE+ can provide.

Installation Notes

The cable features a slim 0.1-inch (3.6 mm) outer diameter and 28 AWG stranded copper conductors, offering flexibility for routing in tight spaces. The operating temperature range is 10°C to 60°C (50°F to 140°F), and storage temperature ranges from -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket is essential for installations in plenum spaces or where fire safety regulations require reduced smoke and toxic gas emissions. The snagless boot design prevents damage to the RJ45 connector tabs during insertion and removal.
