Product Information

Full details

This 1m white Slim Cat6 Ethernet Cable from StarTech.com is designed for IT professionals managing high-density network environments. Its key benefit is a 36% slimmer diameter, offering superior flexibility and improved airflow in crowded racks. A potential caveat is its 1m length, which may not suit all extended cable runs. It provides reliable Gigabit Ethernet and 100W PoE++ connectivity with a durable, low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket and snagless connectors.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of this Slim Cat6 cable over a standard Cat6 cable?

The primary advantage is its 36% slimmer diameter, which makes it significantly more flexible and easier to route in high-density installations, also improving airflow and heat dissipation in confined spaces.

Can this cable power my PoE device?

Yes, this cable supports up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE++) in compliance with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 specifications. Ensure your connected device and power sourcing equipment are also PoE++ compatible to utilize this capability.

What does LSZH jacket mean and why is it important?

LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. The jacket material is flame-retardant and emits minimal toxic fumes and smoke when exposed to extreme heat or fire. This is important for safety, especially in poorly ventilated or sensitive environments.

Is this cable shielded?

No, this is an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable. While it's designed for reliable performance, shielded cables may offer better protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) in highly sensitive or noisy environments.

What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this cable?

This Cat6 cable supports data transfer rates of up to 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet) and operates at frequencies up to 250 MHz.

Are the connectors snagless?

Yes, the cable features snagless connectors designed to protect the RJ45 clip during installation and disconnection, reducing the risk of snags or breakage.

What is the warranty period for this StarTech.com cable?

StarTech.com typically offers a lifetime warranty on their cables. Please refer to the specific product documentation or StarTech.com's website for definitive warranty information.

Can I use this cable for longer distances than 1 meter?

This specific cable is 1 meter long. While Cat6 standards support up to 100 meters for Gigabit Ethernet, you would need to purchase a longer cable of the same Slim Cat6 type for longer runs.

Troubleshooting

No network connectivity or slow speeds

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into their respective ports. Verify that the connected devices are functioning correctly. Test with a different, known-good cable. Check network device settings for potential issues. Ensure the cable is not damaged and all internal wires are intact.

PoE device not powering on or functioning erratically

Confirm that both the connected device and the power sourcing equipment (e.g., PoE switch) support PoE++ and are configured correctly. Verify the total power draw of the connected device does not exceed the 100W budget. Ensure the cable is fully seated on both ends.

Cable is difficult to plug in or feels loose

Check the RJ45 connectors for any debris or damage. Ensure the cable is the correct type (Cat6) for the port. The connectors should click firmly into place when properly inserted. If the connector is damaged, the cable may need to be replaced.

Intermittent connectivity or packet loss

Inspect the cable for any signs of physical damage, kinks, or stress. Ensure the cable is not routed too close to sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Test the cable's performance using a network cable tester if available.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional flexibility for tight installations
  • Supports high-power PoE++ for connected devices
  • Durable construction with snagless connectors
  • LSZH jacket for increased safety in sensitive environments
  • Guaranteed Cat6 performance through Fluke testing

Cons

  • 1-meter length may be limiting for some applications
  • UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) may be less resistant to external interference than shielded cables
  • Requires compatible PoE++ devices to utilize full power delivery capabilities

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect one RJ45 connector to your network device (e.g., switch, router, computer, PoE device).
  2. Connect the other RJ45 connector to its corresponding network port.
  3. The cable supports Plug and Play functionality, requiring no additional software or configuration.

Compatibility:

  • Network Standards: Compatible with 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet networks. Supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbit/s) speeds.
  • PoE: Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 PoE++ specifications, capable of delivering up to 100W. Ensure connected devices and power sourcing equipment are also PoE++ compliant to achieve full power delivery.
  • Connectors: Standard RJ45 connectors are compatible with most networking equipment.
  • Standards Compliance: Complies with ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Category 6 standards.

Care:

  • Avoid exposing the cable to excessive heat, moisture, or physical stress.
  • When routing, do not bend the cable tighter than its minimum bend radius to prevent internal damage.
  • Clean the connectors gently with a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary. Avoid using solvents.
  • Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, protecting the connectors from dust and damage.
