StarTech.com Cat6 Cat6 Ethernet Cable 4 Core, Black, 5 m, Unshielded Unscreened, Snagless, Low Smoke Zero Halogen

StarTech Ethernet Cable, 5m Cable Length, 24AWG Conductor Size - N6LPATCH5MBK

This Ethernet cable provides LSZH-rated connectivity for high-speed networks and PoE installations. It is a Cat6 unscreened patch lead with stranded copper conductors designed for multi-gigabit links up to 10GbE within recommended distances. The black snagless jacket minimises damage during routing while the LSZH outer material reduces harmful fumes in fire scenarios. The cable is suitable for professional rack, edge and on-premises deployments requiring robust signal integrity and PoE power delivery.

Features and Benefits:

• 250MHz bandwidth supports increased network throughput
  100W PoE capability enables high-power device supply
  Fluke-tested to meet ANSI/TIA 568.2.D performance limits
  24AWG stranded copper reduces heat during sustained loads
  6mm outside diameter provides flexible cable management

Applications

• Suitable for connecting switches to servers in Data Racks
  Used with PoE cameras and VoIP handsets requiring 100W
  Ideal for multi-gig NICs and network-attached storage
  Used for workstation patching in LSZH-required environments
