Description

StarTech N6PAT6BLS Slim CAT6 Network Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PAT6BLS is a 6-foot, blue, slim CAT6 Ethernet cable designed for high-bandwidth, power-intensive network applications. Its reduced diameter and Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket make it suitable for plenum spaces and installations where fire safety and cable management are critical. This cable supports up to 10 Gbps data transfer rates and 100W PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4), ensuring reliable connectivity for demanding devices like high-resolution cameras, access control panels, and Wi-Fi 6 access points without compromising safety standards.

Compatibility

This CAT6 cable is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT5 standards, but to achieve its rated 10 Gbps performance, it must be used with CAT6-compliant network infrastructure. It is suitable for connecting any RJ-45 network device, including network video recorders (NVRs), managed switches, IP cameras, servers, and workstations. Its 100W PoE++ support makes it ideal for powering high-demand devices directly from an IEEE 802.3bt compliant switch or injector, simplifying installation by eliminating the need for separate power supplies.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors with a 28 AWG wire gauge, providing flexibility for routing in tight spaces. The LSZH-rated jacket minimizes toxic fumes and corrosive byproducts in case of fire, making it compliant with strict building codes for use in air-handling spaces. The straight RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated plating ensure a secure and reliable connection. Operating temperature range is 10°C to 60°C (50°F to 140°F).
