Product Information

Full details

This 25cm green Slim CAT6 Ethernet cable from StarTech.com is ideal for high-density network installations where space is limited. Its primary benefit is enabling better airflow and easier routing due to its 36% slimmer profile than standard Cat6 cables, while still supporting reliable Gigabit and up to 100W PoE++ connections. A key consideration is its 0.25m length, which is suited for short connections within racks or between nearby devices.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of a slim Cat6 cable?

The main advantage is its significantly reduced diameter (36% thinner than standard Cat6), which allows for better airflow, easier routing in congested spaces like network racks, and improved flexibility.

Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

Yes, this cable is designed to support up to 100W of PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4), making it suitable for powering high-demand PoE devices.

What is the maximum data transfer rate supported?

This Cat6 cable supports data transfer rates of up to 10,000 Mbps (10 Gigabit Ethernet).

What does 'LSZH' jacket mean?

LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. This jacket material emits less smoke and fewer toxic fumes when exposed to heat or fire, making it safer for use in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas.

What is the length of this specific cable?

This particular cable is 0.25 meters (25cm) long.

Are the connectors snagless?

Yes, the cable features snagless connectors, which protect the RJ45 clip from damage during installation and removal, reducing snags.

Is this cable shielded?

No, this is an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable, indicated by U/UTP in its specifications.

How does this cable perform compared to a standard Cat6 cable?

It performs identically in terms of data transfer speed and bandwidth (up to 250 MHz and 10Gbps). The primary difference is its physical size and flexibility, which aids installation, and the LSZH jacket for safety.

Troubleshooting

No network connection

Ensure both RJ45 connectors are securely plugged into their respective ports. Verify that the connected devices are powered on and configured correctly. Test with a known working cable and port to rule out other equipment issues.

Slow network speeds

Confirm that the cable is fully seated in the ports. Ensure the connected devices support the expected network speed (e.g., Gigabit Ethernet). Check for physical damage to the cable or connectors. Verify network settings on connected devices.

PoE device not powering up

Verify that the connected switch or power source supports PoE++ (802.3bt) and can deliver the required wattage. Ensure the device itself is compatible with PoE++ and not drawing more power than the source can supply. Check the cable for damage.

Intermittent connection drops

Inspect the RJ45 connectors for damage or debris. Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive bending or physical stress. Test the connection with a different cable to confirm if the issue lies with the cable itself.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly improves airflow and heat dissipation in high-density environments.
  • Easier cable management and routing due to its slim and flexible design.
  • Supports high-speed networking and high-power PoE++ devices.
  • Durable construction with gold-plated connectors ensures reliable connections.
  • LSZH jacket enhances safety in environments where fire retardancy is critical.
  • Snagless connectors protect the cable during installation.

Cons

  • The 0.25m length is suitable only for very short connections.
  • Requires careful handling to avoid damage to the thinner cable compared to thicker cables.
  • LSZH jackets may have a distinct odor when new.
  • While slim, routing in extremely tight bends might still be challenging depending on the rack layout.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a plug-and-play device. Simply connect one RJ45 connector to your network device (e.g., switch, router, computer) and the other RJ45 connector to your network. Ensure a firm click to confirm the connection.

Compatibility:

  • Network Standards: Compatible with Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, 5 Gigabit Ethernet, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks.
  • PoE: Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 (PoE++), capable of delivering up to 100W.
  • Connectors: Standard RJ45 connectors ensure compatibility with virtually all networking equipment.
  • Operating System: No specific OS drivers are required; it functions at the hardware level.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a dry or slightly damp soft cloth to clean the connectors and cable jacket. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cable is not kinked or sharply bent.
  • Handling: While durable, the slim design requires careful handling to avoid excessive strain or damage to the conductors. Use the snagless boot for pulling the cable.
