The STARTECH N6PAT30GRS is a 30-foot gray slim Cat6 Ethernet cable designed for network connectivity in business and IT environments. This unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable features a snagless RJ45 connector design, which helps prevent damage during installation and removal in crowded server racks or conduits. Its slim profile and 28AWG bare copper wire construction allow for easier routing and reduced bulk compared to standard cables, making it suitable for high-density installations where space is a concern. The cable supports 100W Power over Ethernet (PoE), enabling it to deliver both data and power to compatible devices over a single connection. It is constructed with Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material, which is beneficial for safety in enclosed spaces by reducing the emission of toxic and corrosive gases in the event of a fire. Each cable is Fluke tested to ensure performance and reliability for critical network applications.
The snagless RJ45 connector design prevents the locking tab from catching on other cables or components during installation and removal. This reduces the risk of damage to the connector and ensures a more secure connection.
100W PoE support indicates that this cable can reliably transmit both data and up to 100 watts of power to compatible Power over Ethernet devices. This simplifies installations by eliminating the need for separate power outlets for PoE-enabled equipment.
This cable uses 28AWG bare copper wire. Bare copper is a standard for Ethernet cables, providing good conductivity and reliable signal transmission.
The product data specifies LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) construction, which is beneficial for safety in enclosed spaces. However, it does not explicitly state plenum rating. Buyers should verify local fire codes and specific plenum requirements for their installation.
