Description

StarTech N6PAT5BLS 5ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

This 5-foot blue StarTech N6PAT5BLS Cat6 Ethernet cable is engineered for demanding network deployments requiring high-power Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivery and enhanced safety features. Its slim 28 AWG construction and Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket make it suitable for installations in plenum spaces or environments where fire safety is critical. The snagless design simplifies installation by protecting the RJ45 connector tabs during connection and disconnection, ensuring a reliable link for surveillance cameras, access control panels, or other PoE-powered devices.

Compatibility

Designed to meet TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standards, this cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps and frequencies up to 250 MHz, making it fully compatible with Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. It is rated for IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 (100W PoE), ensuring sufficient power delivery for high-demand devices such as advanced PTZ cameras, high-density wireless access points, or industrial IoT sensors. The stranded copper conductors provide flexibility and durability, essential for network infrastructure that undergoes frequent connection changes.

Installation Notes

The cable features a slim 0.1-inch (3.6 mm) outer diameter and 28 AWG stranded copper conductors, offering superior flexibility compared to thicker 24 AWG cables. This is particularly beneficial in high-density installations or when routing through tight conduits. The LSZH jacket material reduces the emission of toxic and corrosive gases when exposed to fire, a critical safety consideration for indoor installations. Operating temperature range is 10C to 60C, with storage temperatures from -20C to 60C. Humidity tolerance is 10% to 80% RH.
