The STARTECH N6PAT1RDS is a 1-foot red slim Cat6 Ethernet cable, designed for network connectivity in business and IT environments. This unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable features a snagless design, which helps prevent damage to the RJ45 connectors during installation and removal in dense network racks or conduits. Its slim profile, enabled by 28AWG bare copper wire, is beneficial in situations where space is limited, allowing for more efficient cable routing and improved airflow compared to standard-gauge cables. The cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 100W, making it suitable for powering compatible devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, or wireless access points without requiring separate power outlets. Constructed with Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material, it contributes to safety in enclosed spaces by emitting less smoke and toxic fumes in the event of a fire. Each cable is Fluke tested to ensure reliable performance and adherence to Cat6 standards.
The primary benefit of a slim Cat6 Ethernet cable is its reduced diameter, which allows for more efficient cable management in high-density network environments. This can improve airflow and reduce clutter in server racks or wiring closets.
Yes, this cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 100W. This makes it suitable for connecting and powering various PoE-compatible devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, or wireless access points.
The snagless design on the RJ45 connectors features a protective boot that prevents the connector clip from snagging or breaking during installation and removal. This helps ensure a more durable and reliable connection, especially in crowded patch panels.
The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rating indicates that the cable's jacket material emits minimal smoke and no toxic halogen gases when exposed to high heat or fire. This is an important safety feature for installations in enclosed or public spaces.
