StarTech.com N6PAT15MGRS Cat6 Ethernet Cable, UTP, 15 m, Grey Low Smoke Zero Halogen

StarTech Ethernet Cable, 15m Cable Length, Grey Jacket - N6PAT15MGRS

This Ethernet cable provides a reliable physical link for network connectivity in industrial and commercial settings. Designed for general data transmission, it delivers standard Cat6 performance with an unshielded twisted-pair construction and a flexible stranded conductor, making it suitable where frequent routing or movement is required. The outer sheath is formulated to limit hazardous emissions in the event of fire, permitting safer use in enclosed installations.

Features and Benefits:

• 28AWG stranded copper enables improved cable flexibility
  UTP construction minimises bulk while supporting Cat6 signalling
  Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket reduces toxic fumes and corrosive gases
  Operating range from 10°C to 60°C supports varied ambient conditions
  RoHS conformity ensures restricted hazardous substance usage

Applications

• Suitable for automation control panel interconnects where mobility is needed
  Ideal for wiring test benches in electronics laboratories
  Used for temporary networking in electrical commissioning tasks
  Can be used for cabling of mechanical equipment diagnostic stations
  Suitable for patching in Data Racks where low-smoke routing is required

What conductor composition does it use and why does that matter?

It uses stranded copper conductors which provide greater flexibility than solid cores, reducing stress when cables are frequently bent or re-routed.

How does the jacket material influence installation choices?

The Low Smoke Zero Halogen compound limits smoke and halogen emissions, making it preferable for enclosed or personnel‑occupied spaces where fire safety is a concern.

What is the cable diameter and how does that affect cable management?

The nominal outside diameter is 3.6 mm, allowing higher cable density in trays and easier routing through conduits with tight bends.

Can this cable be used in environments outside typical room temperatures?

It is rated to operate between 10°C and 60°C, so it is suitable for many workshop and indoor industrial environments but not for colder outdoor exposures.

Does the cable support regulatory substance restrictions?

The construction complies with RoHS requirements, restricting certain hazardous materials in the components and sheath.
