StarTech.com N6PAT5MPLS Cat6 Ethernet Cable, UTP, 5 m, Purple Low Smoke Zero Halogen

StarTech Ethernet Cable, 5m Cable Length, Purple Jacket - N6PAT5MPLS

This ethernet cable provides a flexible network connection for industrial and commercial environments, designed to link equipment and devices while maintaining low smoke emissions in confined spaces. It is a Cat6 UTP stranded patch lead that supports typical networking tasks where a pliable 5m cable with reduced-harm combustion properties is required for installation in machinery rooms, control cabinets and populated workspaces.

Features and Benefits:

• 28AWG stranded conductor offers enhanced flexing capability
  UTP construction reduces interference for consistent data transfer
  Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket limits toxic and corrosive gases
  3.6mm outside diameter enables neat routing in cableways
  Operates across 10°C to 60°C for broader site conditions

Applications

• Suitable for connecting PLCs to network switches in automation racks
  Ideal for linking instrumentation in electronics test benches
  Used with industrial control panels requiring LSZH cabling
  Can be used for temporary field cabling during maintenance tasks

What conductor material is used and why does it matter?

The cores are MADE from copper, which provides low electrical resistance and dependable signal transmission for network links.

How does the jacket composition influence installation safety?

The Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket emits fewer hazardous gases and less smoke during a fire, reducing risk to personnel and sensitive equipment in enclosed areas.

Is this cable suitable for tight bending and frequent movement?

The stranded conductor construction increases flexibility and bending tolerance, making it appropriate for installations that require routing through confined channels or periodic reconfiguration.

What environmental temperature range can the cable withstand?

It is rated for operation from 10°C up to 60°C, covering most indoor industrial and workshop conditions.
