Description

StarTech N6PAT6PLS 6ft Purple Slim Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

This 6-foot purple StarTech N6PAT6PLS Cat6 Ethernet cable is engineered for high-demand network deployments, particularly those supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE++) up to 100W. Its slim 28 AWG construction and Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket make it suitable for installations where cable management is critical and fire safety standards are paramount, such as in commercial buildings, data centers, or surveillance systems. The snagless design simplifies installation by protecting the connector tabs during connection and disconnection, ensuring a reliable link for network devices.

Compatibility

This cable is designed to meet TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standards, ensuring broad compatibility with standard networking equipment. It supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps and is rated for Cat6 performance at 250 MHz, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and faster networks. Crucially, it supports IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 (PoE++) up to 100W, allowing it to reliably power high-demand devices like PTZ cameras, wireless access points, or industrial IoT sensors without requiring separate power injectors or power supplies. The stranded copper conductors provide flexibility, beneficial for routing within tight spaces or around equipment racks.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is LSZH rated, meaning it produces minimal smoke and no toxic halogenated compounds when exposed to fire, a critical safety feature for indoor installations in public spaces or enclosed environments. The operating temperature range is 10C to 60C (50F to 140F), and storage temperature is -20C to 60C (-4F to 140F). The slim 3.6mm (0.1 in) outer diameter aids in cable management and airflow within densely populated network cabinets. Gold-plated connectors ensure signal integrity and corrosion resistance.
