StarTech.com Cat6 Ethernet Cable 4 Core, Blue, 1 m, Unshielded Unscreened, Snagless, Low Smoke Zero Halogen

StarTech Ethernet Cable, 24AWG Conductor, 6mm Outside Diameter - N6LPATCH1MBL

This ethernet cable is a 1m Cat6 U/UTP patch lead designed for high-speed LAN connections in professional environments. It uses stranded copper conductors and an LSZH jacket to reduce toxic fumes and smoke during a fire, while supporting multi-gigabit data rates and Power over Ethernet for powering compatible devices. The cable is unscreened with a snagless boot and moulded strain relief to ease installation in confined routes.

Features and Benefits:

• 250MHz bandwidth supports increased data throughput
  100W PoE capability supplies power to connected devices
  24AWG stranded copper minimises resistance and heat buildup
  50μ gold-plated RJ45 pins improve electrical contact
  ETL verified to meet Category6 transmission limits

Applications

• Suitable for connecting NICs to switches in server racks
  Used with VoIP phones and PoE-capable endpoints
  Ideal for short-run 10GbE links within comms cabinets
  Can be used for NAS connections in small offices
  Suitable for routing through conduits without clip damage

What operating temperatures can it withstand?

It operates between 0°C and 80°C.

How is signal integrity verified for performance?

Each cable is tested using a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyser and third-party ETL verification to confirm compliance with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category6 parameters.

What construction elements reduce crosstalk and support PoE?

The cable uses twisted pair stranded 24AWG conductors, a spline separator and HD-PE insulation to limit inter-pair and intra-pair crosstalk and improve heat dissipation for high-power PoE.

Which materials are used for the jacket and conductors?

The jacket is Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) and the conductors are 100% copper.

What physical attributes aid installation in tight spaces?

The snagless boot and moulded strain relief protect the clip and allow a 40mm bend radius for easier routing.
