Product Information
Full details
This StarTech.com 1.5m Purple Slim CAT6 Ethernet Cable is designed for high-density network installations where space and airflow are critical. It offers reliable Gigabit and Power over Ethernet (PoE++) connectivity with a thinner, more flexible profile than standard Cat6 cables. However, its specialized slim design might not be ideal for environments requiring extreme durability or thick cable runs.

FAQs
What is the difference between this slim Cat6 cable and a standard Cat6 cable?
This slim Cat6 cable is 36% thinner (3.6mm vs. standard ~6mm) and more flexible, improving airflow and making it easier to route in crowded spaces. It maintains Cat6 performance standards.
Can this cable be used for PoE devices?
Yes, this cable supports PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4) and can deliver up to 100W of power, in addition to data.
What does LSZH mean?
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. This jacket material is designed to emit very little smoke and no halogenated compounds when exposed to high heat or fire, making it safer for enclosed or poorly ventilated areas.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
This cable is designed for indoor use. While the LSZH jacket offers some protection, it is not rated for outdoor exposure to UV rays, moisture, or extreme temperatures.
What is the data transfer rate supported by this cable?
This Cat6 cable supports data transfer rates of up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet).
How do I know if the connectors are properly plugged in?
You should hear a distinct 'click' when the RJ45 connector is fully seated in the port. The snagless boot also helps ensure secure engagement.
What is the benefit of 28AWG Pure Bare Copper Wire?
28AWG indicates a thinner wire gauge compared to thicker gauges often found in standard cables. Pure bare copper provides excellent conductivity and low resistance, ensuring signal integrity, especially over the 1.5m length.
Troubleshooting
No network connectivity
Ensure both RJ45 connectors are fully seated in their ports. Verify that the connected devices are powered on and configured for network operation. Test the cable with different ports or devices to rule out a faulty connection point.
Slow network speeds
Confirm that the cable is connected to Gigabit Ethernet ports on both ends. Check for any damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the network infrastructure supports Gigabit speeds and that no other bottlenecks exist.
PoE device not powering up
Verify that the connected network equipment (switch or injector) supports PoE++ (up to 100W) and is configured to provide power. Ensure the cable is rated for the power requirements of the device. Check for any damage to the cable that might impede power delivery.
Cable is difficult to route in tight spaces
While designed to be slim, ensure you are not forcing the cable around excessively sharp bends, which could damage the conductors. Gently guide the cable to its destination, utilizing its flexibility without strain.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Enhanced airflow in high-density installations.
- Easier cable management due to its flexibility and slim profile.
- Supports high-power PoE++ devices.
- Durable connectors with gold plating for reliable connections.
- Safer in environments with fire risk due to LSZH jacket.
- Guaranteed Cat6 performance through Fluke testing.
Cons
- Slim design may be less robust than thicker cables for demanding physical environments.
- Specific length (1.5m) might not suit all installation needs.
- LSZH jacket, while safer, can sometimes be less flexible than PVC in very cold temperatures.
- Color (Purple) may not fit all aesthetic requirements for network infrastructure.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply plug the RJ45 connectors into your network devices, such as routers, switches, network interface cards, or patch panels. Ensure a firm click is heard to confirm the connection is secure. The snagless boot protects the clip during insertion and removal.
Compatibility: This Cat6 cable is compatible with Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) networks. It adheres to ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 standards. It supports IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 PoE++ for up to 100W power delivery, making it suitable for a wide range of networking devices requiring high power budgets.
Care: Keep the cable clean and free from dust and debris. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that could damage the internal wiring. Clean connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary. The LSZH jacket is designed for durability but should be inspected periodically for any signs of physical damage.
