StarTech.com N6PAT50CMBKS Cat6 Ethernet Cable 4 Core, Black, 0.5 m, Unshielded Unscreened, Snagless, Low Smoke Zero

StarTech Ethernet Cable, 0.5m Cable Length, 28AWG Conductor Size - N6PAT50CMBKS

This ethernet cable provides a Compact Cat6 connection for gigabit and PoE networks in confined installations. It combines a slim profile with an LSZH jacket and stranded copper conductors to support high-density racks, patch panels and short-link runs while reducing airflow obstruction and emission of toxic fumes in enclosed spaces.

Features and Benefits:

• Supports 10 Gbps data rate and 100W PoE++ delivery
  28 AWG stranded copper reduces resistance for improved conductivity
  250MHz Cat6 rating minimises near-end crosstalk and return loss
  Slim 3.6mm OD improves airflow in dense racks
  Snagless RJ45 connectors prevent clip damage during routing

Applications

• Suitable for high-density data centre patching
  Ideal for connecting boardroom IP cameras using PoE++
  Used with gigabit switches in edge deployments
  Can be used for short-run workstation network links

What is the cable jacketing material and its fire behaviour?

The jacket is Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH), which emits minimal smoke and low-toxicity fumes if burnt.

How are the terminations plated and why does that matter?

The RJ45 contacts use 50‑micron gold plating to ensure precise mating and reduced contact wear over many insertions.

What testing verifies signal integrity for each cable?

Every cable is individually tested with a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyser to meet ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 specifications.

What temperature range can the cable operate within?

The specified operating temperature spans +10°C to +80°C for Active use.

Is this cable shielded and how many conductors does it contain?

It is unshielded UTP with four twisted pairs using stranded copper conductors.
