Product Information

Full details

This StarTech.com 50cm Slim Cat6 Ethernet Cable is designed for high-density network installations, offering improved airflow and flexibility. It delivers reliable Gigabit and Power over Ethernet (PoE++) connectivity, making it ideal for crowded network racks and environments requiring robust power delivery to network devices. A key benefit is its space-saving, 36% slimmer profile compared to standard Cat6 cables, allowing for easier routing and better heat dissipation, though it is specifically designed for Ethernet networking and not for applications requiring higher bandwidth than Cat6 specifications.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main advantage of a Slim Cat6 cable?

The primary advantage is its significantly reduced diameter (36% thinner than standard Cat6), which allows for better airflow and easier routing in crowded network environments like high-density racks.

Can this cable be used for standard Gigabit Ethernet connections?

Yes, this Cat6 cable is rated for Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T) and supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbps, making it ideal for standard network use.

What is PoE++ and does this cable support it?

PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4) is an enhanced Power over Ethernet standard capable of delivering up to 100W of power. This cable fully supports PoE++ and is designed to reliably transmit that power along with data.

Is the LSZH jacket safe for enclosed spaces?

Yes, the Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket is designed to emit minimal smoke and toxic fumes when exposed to heat or fire, making it safer for installations in poorly ventilated or sensitive areas.

What does 'Fluke Tested' mean for this cable?

Fluke Testing means the cable has undergone rigorous testing using Fluke network testers to verify its compliance with Cat6 performance standards, ensuring minimal signal loss and interference (NEXT, RL).

What is the data transfer rate and frequency of this cable?

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

Can I use this cable with older PoE devices?

Yes, this cable is backward compatible and can be used with devices that use standard PoE (up to 15.4W) and PoE+ (up to 30W) standards.

Troubleshooting

No network connection detected

Ensure both RJ45 connectors are fully seated and have clicked into place. Verify the network device and the connected port are powered on and functional. Test with a different network cable to rule out cable failure.

Slow network speeds or intermittent connection

Check for physical damage to the cable, such as kinks or cuts. Ensure the cable is not routed too close to power cables, which can cause interference. Confirm that the network devices at both ends support Gigabit speeds.

PoE device not powering on

Verify that the power source (e.g., PoE switch) supports the required wattage for the device (up to 100W for this cable). Ensure the cable is connected correctly and that the PoE feature is enabled on the switch. Test with another known-good PoE cable.

Cable is difficult to plug in or remove

Check the RJ45 clip for damage or obstruction. Ensure you are using the correct port and not forcing the connector. The snagless boot is designed to protect the clip, so ensure it's not preventing proper connection.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly improves airflow and reduces heat buildup in crowded network racks.
  • Easier to route and manage due to its slimmer profile and flexibility.
  • Supports high-speed Gigabit Ethernet connections.
  • Reliably delivers up to 100W of power for PoE++ devices.
  • Durable construction with gold-plated connectors for longevity.
  • LSZH jacket enhances safety in sensitive environments.

Cons

  • Limited to Cat6 performance specifications; not suitable for higher bandwidth applications like Cat6a or Cat7.
  • The 0.5m length may be too short for some longer-distance network runs.
  • While flexible, the LSZH jacket might be less abrasion-resistant than standard PVC in extremely harsh industrial settings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Connect one RJ45 connector to your network device (e.g., computer, switch, router).
  2. Connect the other RJ45 connector to the corresponding port on your network infrastructure.
  3. Ensure both connectors click securely into place.

Compatibility:

  • Network Standards: Compatible with Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) networks.
  • PoE: Supports IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 PoE++ (4PPoE) up to 100W. Also backward compatible with earlier PoE standards (PoE, PoE+).
  • Connectors: Features standard RJ45 connectors, compatible with any RJ45 network port.
  • Cable Type: Cat6 U/UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair).

Care:

  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks, especially near the connectors, to maintain signal integrity.
  • Protect the cable from excessive physical stress, abrasion, or exposure to harsh chemicals.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  • Regularly inspect connectors for dust or debris; clean gently with a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary.
