StarTech.com Cat6 Ethernet Cable, 3 m, Purple, UTP Unscreened Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) Cross Linked Insulation

StarTech N6PA Series Ethernet Cable, 3m Cable Length, Purple Jacket - N6PAT300CMPLS

This ethernet cable provides a field-ready connection for networking equipment in environments where low-toxicity combustion behaviour is required. It is a Cat6 unscreened patch lead designed for structured cabling and device interconnects, offering a stranded conductor build and a purple jacket for easy identification.

Features and Benefits:

• 28AWG stranded conductors deliver flexible routing and reduced fatigue
  Four-core configuration supports standard twisted-pair signalling schemes
  LSZH jacket and cross-linked insulation reduce hazardous smoke and gases
  Unscreened UTP arrangement minimises stiffness for tight bends
  Operates between10°C and60°C for varied indoor conditions

Applications

• Suitable for office patch panels and desk-level connections
  Ideal for data cabinet to network device links
  Used for temporary event networking setups and cable runs
  Can be used for lab test rigs requiring identifiable cabling
  Suitable for installations prioritising low-smoke materials

What conductor material is used and why does it matter?

The conductors are made from bare copper to provide consistent electrical conductivity for balanced-pair transmission.

How does the cable’s construction affect routing through conduits?

The stranded conductor and unscreened design enhance flexibility, easing installation through bends and conduit pathways.

What standards does the cable meet for performance expectations?

It conforms to the ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standard, aligning it with recognised Cat6 performance parameters.

What is the outer profile of the cable and its installation implication?

The cable has an outside diameter of3.6mm, offering a slim profile that conserves space in dense cable bundles.
