StarTech.com Slim CAT6 Ethernet Cable - 50cm Purple

The main advantage is its significantly reduced diameter (36% thinner than standard Cat6), which allows for better airflow, easier routing in crowded spaces, and greater flexibility in high-density installations.

Yes, this cable is designed to support PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4), reliably delivering up to 90W of power to compatible network devices.

LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. This means the cable jacket is made from materials that emit very little smoke and no toxic halogens when exposed to heat or fire, making it a safer option for indoor installations, especially in poorly ventilated areas.

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

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

This particular model is 0.5 meters (50cm) long.

Yes, the cable features snagless connectors, which protect the RJ45 clip during installation and removal, reducing the likelihood of snags or breakage.

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

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into active ports. Check that the connected devices are powered on and configured correctly. Test with a known working cable to rule out other network issues.

Verify that the cable is a Cat6 standard and that both connected devices support Gigabit Ethernet. Check for physical damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the cable is not excessively bent or kinked. Test port speed on the connected devices.

Confirm that the power source (e.g., PoE switch or injector) supports PoE++ (90W) and that the connected device is within the power budget. Ensure the cable is properly seated and not damaged, as power delivery requires intact conductors.

While the snagless boot offers protection, avoid excessive force during installation or removal. If the clip breaks, the cable may not stay securely connected. Replacement of the cable is recommended.
