StarTech.com Cat6 Ethernet Cable 4 Core, Black, 3 m, Unshielded Unscreened, Snagless, Low Smoke Zero Halogen

StarTech Ethernet Cable, 3M Cable Length, 24AWG Conductor Size - N6LPATCH3MBK

This ethernet cable is a Cat6 LSZH patch lead designed for multi-gigabit network connections in on-premise and edge deployments. It uses stranded copper conductors and a PVC-free low smoke zero halogen jacket to provide data and power delivery to networking equipment while reducing harmful fumes in the event of a fire. The snagless design with strain relief preserves connector integrity during installation.

Features and Benefits:

• 250MHz bandwidth for higher throughput and reduced congestion
  100W PoE support ensuring powered devices remain operational
  24AWG stranded copper offering improved heat dissipation
  50μ gold-plated pins for consistent contact performance
  6mm diameter flexible jacket for easier cable routing

Applications

• Suitable for connecting servers and NICs in racks
  Ideal for supplying power to PoE++ cameras
  Used with VoIP phones and desktop network interfaces
  Can be used for NAS and storage network links
  Suitable for short-range 10GbE links up to 55m

What construction prevents increased crosstalk and heat?

A spline separator and flexible HD-PE insulation reduce inter-pair crosstalk and improve heat dissipation for sustained PoE power.

How is cable performance verified for Category 6 standards?

Each cable is electrically tested using a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyser and third-party ETL verification to meet ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 limits.

What environmental temperature range can it operate within?

It operates between 0°C and 80°C for both use and storage.

Which safety and material certifications apply to this product?

The cable meets CE and RoHS compliance and is rated LSZH for reduced toxic fume release.

How does the connector design aid installation?

The snagless boot protects the RJ45 clip and the moulded strain relief supports a 40mm bend radius for installation flexibility.
