This 7-meter black Slim CAT6 Ethernet cable from StarTech.com is designed for IT professionals managing high-density network environments. Its key benefit is providing reliable Gigabit and PoE++ connectivity in a more flexible and space-saving form factor than standard cables, with a caveat that its thinness may require careful handling in industrial settings. It features a durable construction with gold-plated connectors, a low smoke zero halogen jacket, and Fluke testing for guaranteed performance, supporting up to 100W of PoE++ power.

The primary advantage is its smaller outer diameter (3.6mm vs. standard Cat6), making it 36% thinner. This allows for greater airflow in high-density installations, easier routing in tight spaces, and generally better heat dissipation compared to standard Cat6 cables.
Yes, this cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) and is specifically rated for PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4), capable of delivering up to 100W of power.
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. This means the cable's outer jacket is designed to emit very little smoke and no toxic halogens when exposed to extreme heat or fire, enhancing safety in sensitive environments.
No, this is an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable. It is designed for environments where high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI) are not a primary concern.
This Cat6 cable supports data transfer rates of up to 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet) and operates at frequencies up to 250 MHz, meeting the requirements for standard Cat6 performance.
Snagless connectors have a molded boot that covers the RJ45 clip. This prevents the clip from catching on other cables or objects during installation or removal, reducing the risk of damage or breakage.
Fluke testing indicates that the cable has been independently tested using Fluke Networks equipment to verify its compliance with Cat6 standards, specifically checking for minimal Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss (RL) to ensure optimal performance.
Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct ports. Verify the network device and the connected endpoint are powered on and functioning. Try using a different Ethernet cable to rule out a cable issue. Check network switch port status or router configuration.
Confirm the cable is functioning as Cat6 (Gigabit speeds). Ensure the connected devices also support Gigabit Ethernet. Check for physical damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the cable is not exceeding its maximum supported length for stable Gigabit performance (7m is well within limits).
Verify that the connected network device (e.g., switch, injector) supports PoE++ (802.3bt Type 4) and can deliver up to 100W. Ensure the powered device is compatible with the power output. Check the power budget on the PoE source.
Ensure the RJ45 connector is properly aligned with the port. Check if the snagless clip is obstructed or damaged. If the clip is broken, the cable may still function but will be harder to remove and more prone to damage.
Setup: This is a plug-and-play device. Simply connect one RJ45 connector to your network device (e.g., computer, switch, router) and the other RJ45 connector to your network port or endpoint device. Ensure connections are firm and the RJ45 clips engage securely.
Compatibility: The N6PAT7MBKS is compatible with all standard networking equipment supporting Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 standards. It fully complies with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 PoE++ specifications, making it suitable for powering devices requiring up to 100W. It is also backward compatible with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
