StarTech.com Cat6 Ethernet Cable 4 Core, Black, 2 m, Unshielded Unscreened, Snagless, Low Smoke Zero Halogen

StarTech Ethernet Cable, 2m Cable Length, Black Jacket - N6PAT200CMBKS

This ethernet cable provides a slim Cat6 connection designed for Gigabit networking and PoE applications in dense installations. It uses four-pair unscreened twisted-pair stranded copper conductors within a Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket, and is suitable for confined or poorly ventilated environments where low-toxicity emissions are required. The cable is sized to ease routing in crowded racks and is fitted with snagless RJ45 plugs.

Features and Benefits:

• Supports 10Gbps data transfer for high-bandwidth links
  Delivers up to 100W PoE++ for powered devices
  28AWG stranded copper reduces resistance and improves conductivity
  50-micron gold-plated contacts minimise wear and signal loss
  LSZH jacket emits low smoke and low-toxicity fumes when exposed to heat

Applications

• Suitable for high-density data centre patching
  Ideal for Gigabit switches and PoE cameras
  Used with patch panels in crowded racks
  Can be used for installations in trains and aircraft
  Suitable for residential wiring requiring LSZH materials

What conductor construction is used and why is it chosen?

It uses 28AWG stranded Pure bare copper to maintain flexibility while providing lower electrical resistance for category-rated transmission.

How is signal integrity verified for each cable?

Every cable is tested with a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyser to confirm compliance with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 specifications and measure NEXT and return loss.

What temperature range can it be operated within?

The cable’s operating temperature range spans from +10°C to +80°C for Active use.

What flame and safety characteristics does the jacket provide?

The Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket is flame-retardant and designed to emit minimal smoke and toxic fumes under combustion.

Are the connectors protected during installation?

The RJ45 plugs are snagless to prevent clip damage when routing through tight gaps.
