Description

StarTech N6PAT5BKS 5ft Black Slim Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

This 5-foot black StarTech N6PAT5BKS Cat6 Ethernet cable is engineered for high-demand network deployments requiring both high-speed data transfer and robust Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivery. Its slim 28 AWG construction and LSZH jacket make it ideal for tight installations where cable management and safety are paramount, such as in surveillance systems, enterprise networks, or data centers. The snagless design simplifies installation by preventing connector damage during connection and disconnection.

Compatibility

This cable is rated for Cat6 performance, supporting data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps at 250 MHz, making it suitable for network devices including IP cameras, NVRs, switches, and workstations. It is specifically designed to support IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 (100W) PoE, ensuring sufficient power delivery for high-power devices like PTZ cameras, access control panels, or high-density wireless access points without requiring separate power injectors. The TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard ensures broad compatibility with standard network infrastructure.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors for flexibility and a low-profile 0.1-inch (3.6 mm) OD, facilitating easier routing in plenum spaces or conduit. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material minimizes toxic smoke and corrosive byproducts in case of fire, a critical safety feature for indoor installations. 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). Humidity should be kept between 10% and 80% RH.
