Description

StarTech N6PAT6RDS 6ft Slim Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PAT6RDS is a 6-foot, slim Cat6 Ethernet cable designed for high-density network deployments where cable management is critical. Its 28 AWG stranded copper conductors and UTP construction support 10 Gbps data rates up to 55 meters, while the Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket ensures safety in environments with strict fire codes. This cable is specifically rated to support up to 100W of power via IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 PoE, making it suitable for powering high-demand devices like PTZ cameras, access control readers, or Wi-Fi 6E access points without needing separate power injectors. The snagless design simplifies installation by protecting the RJ45 connector tabs.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment requiring Cat6 Ethernet connectivity, including network switches, routers, and patch panels. It is specifically engineered to support 100W PoE delivery, making it ideal for use with devices compliant with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4, such as high-power IP cameras, wireless access points, and IoT devices. The TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard ensures broad compatibility with existing network infrastructure.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH), 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 critical infrastructure. The operating temperature range is 10°C to 60°C (50°F to 140°F), suitable for most indoor environments. The slim 0.1-inch outer diameter aids in routing through tight conduits and cable management systems.
