Description

StarTech N6PAT10BKS Slim Cat6 Network Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PAT10BKS is a 10-foot (3.0 m) Cat6 network patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission and robust Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivery. Its slim 0.1-inch (3.7 mm) outer diameter and stranded 28 AWG copper conductors make it 36% thinner than standard Cat6 cables, simplifying installation in dense network racks and conduit runs. This cable supports up to 10 Gbps data transfer rates and is rated for 100W PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4), ensuring sufficient power for demanding network devices like high-performance wireless access points, PTZ cameras, and IoT hubs. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) rated jacket minimizes smoke and toxic fumes in case of fire, making it suitable for environments with strict safety regulations.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks, supporting TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standards. It is designed for use with any standard RJ45-equipped network devices, including switches, routers, servers, and endpoint devices requiring 10 Gbps connectivity and up to 100W of PoE power. Its slim profile is particularly beneficial for high-density switch deployments where airflow and cable management are critical.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is LSZH rated, requiring installation in environments where low smoke and zero halogen emissions are mandated. Operating temperature range is 10°C to 60°C (50°F to 140°F). The stranded 28 AWG copper conductors offer flexibility but are not recommended for runs exceeding 100 meters (328 ft) for optimal 10 Gbps performance.
