Product Information

Full details

This StarTech.com 15m orange slim CAT6 Ethernet cable is designed for high-density network installations requiring reliable Gigabit and Power over Ethernet (PoE) connectivity. Its key benefit is its 36% thinner profile compared to standard Cat6 cables, allowing for improved airflow and easier routing in crowded racks, with a caveat that its LSZH jacket requires consideration in certain environments. It provides high-speed data transfer and supports up to 100W of PoE++.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main advantage of a 'slim' CAT6 cable?

The primary advantage is its significantly reduced outer diameter (36% thinner than standard Cat6), which allows for greater cable density in racks, improved airflow, and easier routing through confined spaces.

Can this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

Yes, this cable supports PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4), capable of delivering up to 100W of power to compatible network devices.

What does 'LSZH' jacket mean?

LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. This means the cable's jacket material emits very little smoke and no toxic halogenated compounds when exposed to high heat or fire, making it safer for installations in enclosed or poorly-ventilated areas.

Is this cable tested for performance?

Yes, the cable is Fluke Tested and complies with ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 requirements to ensure it meets guaranteed Cat6 performance standards, including minimal Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss (RL).

What is the maximum data transfer speed this cable supports?

This Cat6 cable supports data transfer rates of up to 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet).

What is the conductor material?

The cable uses 28AWG Pure Bare Copper Wire for its conductors, which provides excellent conductivity and low electrical resistance.

How do the snagless connectors work?

Snagless connectors feature a molded boot that covers the RJ45 clip. This prevents the clip from catching on other cables or obstructions during installation and removal, reducing the risk of breakage.

Troubleshooting

No network connectivity

Ensure both RJ45 connectors are fully seated in their ports. Verify the cable is connected to the correct network source and device. Test with a different known-good network cable to rule out other equipment issues.

Slow network speeds

Check if the connected devices and network infrastructure support Gigabit speeds. Ensure the cable is not damaged or kinked. Verify that the connected devices are configured for Gigabit Ethernet if applicable.

PoE device not powering up

Confirm that the connected network device (e.g., switch) supports PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt) and has sufficient power budget. Ensure the cable is fully seated at both ends. Verify the power requirements of the connected device do not exceed the cable's 100W PoE++ capability.

Cable is difficult to route

While slimmer than standard cables, avoid sharp bends. Use the flexibility of the cable to navigate tight spaces, but do not force it past acute angles that could damage the internal wiring.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly thinner profile for easier cable management and improved airflow.
  • Supports high-speed Gigabit Ethernet and up to 100W of PoE++.
  • Durable construction with gold-plated connectors and pure copper conductors.
  • Snagless connectors prevent damage during installation.
  • LSZH jacket provides enhanced safety in specific environments.

Cons

  • LSZH jacket may require specific installation considerations for ventilation.
  • While slim, 15m length might be excessive for very compact setups.
  • Orange color may not suit all aesthetic requirements for visible installations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a plug-and-play device. Simply connect one RJ45 connector to your network device (e.g., router, switch, computer) and the other RJ45 connector to your network source. Ensure a secure click when plugging in the connectors.

Compatibility: Compatible with all standard networking equipment supporting Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T). It fully supports IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 PoE++ (up to 100W), making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones that require high power.

Care:

  • Avoid excessive bending or kinking, especially in tight routing.
  • Keep connectors clean; use compressed air if dust accumulates.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  • Regularly inspect for any visible damage to the cable jacket or connectors.
