Slim Cat6 cable for dense installs

The StarTech N6PAT2BKS is a 2-foot black slim Cat6 patch cord built for crowded network closets and patch panels. Its reduced diameter makes routing easier in high-density environments while maintaining full Cat6 performance. The snagless RJ45 connectors protect the locking tabs during frequent moves or re-terminations.

Low-smoke jacket and PoE++ support

The LSZH jacket emits minimal toxic fumes if exposed to fire, making the cable suitable for enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces. It handles Power over Ethernet up to 100W under the IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 specification. Pure bare copper conductors at 28AWG deliver consistent throughput and power delivery.

36 percent slimmer for better airflow

The slim profile improves airflow between rack-mounted devices and simplifies cable management in tight trays. Gold-plated contacts at 50-micron thickness reduce signal loss across the link. The cable meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards for 10 Gbps at 250MHz. Not for runs that require longer lengths or outdoor-rated jackets.

Questions about this item

How do I route the slim 28AWG cable through a high-density patch panel without snagging the RJ45 connectors?

Press the snagless boots firmly until the 50-micron gold-plated contacts click into each port; the 36% slimmer diameter and flexible LSZH jacket let you bend the cable around tight cable-management fingers without kinking.

Will the LSZH jacket or the 28AWG pure bare copper conductors need replacement after years of PoE++ use?

The LSZH jacket is rated for enclosed spaces and the 28AWG pure bare copper handles 100W PoE++ continuously; neither component has a scheduled replacement interval under normal operation.

At what point does sustained 10Gbps throughput hit a limit on this 2-foot run?

The cable is certified to ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 at 250MHz, so the 10Gbps signal remains within spec for the full 2-foot length; the first practical limit is the 100W PoE++ power budget, not data bandwidth.
