Product Information

Full details

This 10m green slim Cat6 Ethernet cable is designed for high-density network installations, offering improved airflow and flexibility. Its key benefit is enabling more connections in confined spaces while reliably supporting Gigabit Ethernet and up to 100W of PoE++. A potential caveat is its 3.6mm outer diameter, which, while slim, might not fit all ultra-compact connector housings.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of using a slim Cat6 cable?

The main advantage is its significantly thinner profile (36% thinner than standard Cat6), which allows for better airflow, easier routing in high-density environments, and greater flexibility in crowded network racks.

Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

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

What does 'LSZH' jacket mean?

LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. This jacket material is designed to emit minimal smoke and no toxic halogenated fumes when exposed to extreme heat or fire, enhancing safety in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces.

What is the data transfer speed supported by this Cat6 cable?

This Cat6 cable supports data transfer rates of up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gigabit Ethernet) and operates at frequencies up to 250 MHz.

Are the connectors snagless?

Yes, the cable features snagless connectors, which means the RJ45 clip is protected by the connector housing. This prevents the clip from snagging on other cables or surfaces during installation and removal, reducing the risk of breakage.

What is the conductor material and AWG size?

The cable uses 28AWG pure bare copper wire for its conductors, providing excellent conductivity and low resistance.

Is this cable tested for performance?

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

Troubleshooting

No network connectivity

Ensure both RJ45 connectors are securely seated. Verify the cable is connected to active ports on both ends. Test with a different, known-working cable.

Slow network speeds

Confirm the cable is connected to Gigabit Ethernet ports on both devices. Check for damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure connected devices and network infrastructure support Gigabit speeds.

PoE device not powering on

Verify the power source port supports PoE++ (up to 100W) and the connected device is within the power budget. Ensure the cable is not damaged, as this can impede power delivery.

Intermittent connection drops

Check for physical damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the cable is not routed too close to sources of electromagnetic interference. Reseat the connectors firmly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improves airflow and reduces heat in dense installations.
  • Flexible and easier to manage in tight spaces compared to standard cables.
  • Supports high-power PoE++ for modern network devices.
  • Durable construction with gold-plated connectors ensures reliable signal transmission.
  • Snagless connectors protect against damage during installation.

Cons

  • Outer diameter of 3.6mm may not fit all ultra-compact connectors.
  • LSZH jacket, while safe, may have different installation requirements in some environments.
  • 10m length might be too long or too short for specific, non-standard applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect one RJ45 connector to your network device (e.g., switch, router) and the other to your computer or terminal device.
  2. Ensure both connectors click securely into place.
  3. The cable supports Plug and Play functionality; no additional software or drivers are required.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with all standard RJ45 network interfaces.
  • Supports Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps).
  • Complies with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 PoE++ specifications, compatible with devices requiring up to 100W of power.
  • Tested to ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 standards for Cat6 performance.

Care:

  • Store in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures (storage range: -20 to 60 °C).
  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks to maintain cable integrity and performance.
  • Clean connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary. Avoid using solvents or abrasive materials.
  • Handle the snagless connectors with care to preserve the integrity of the RJ45 clip.
