Black slim Cat6 ethernet cable, 30 feet, snagless RJ45 connectors

STARTECH

STARTECH N6PAT30BLKS 30ft Black Slim Cat6 Network Ethernet Cable

SKU CH-WARN-KKKJ5 MPN N6PAT30BLKS

Slim Cat6 cable supports 10 Gbps and 100 W PoE++, 36 % thinner for better airflow in dense racks

  • 36% slimmer diameter improves airflow in dense racks
  • 10 Gbps throughput with 250 MHz bandwidth for high-speed networks
  • 100 W PoE++ support powers cameras and access points directly
  • 50-micron gold-plated contacts resist corrosion for reliable signal
  • LSZH jacket emits low toxic fumes for safer enclosed spaces

Slim Cat6 cable for dense installs

This 30-foot black Cat6 patch cable uses a 3.6mm outer diameter that is 36 percent slimmer than standard Cat6, making it ideal for crowded network closets and cable management panels. The UTP construction with 28AWG pure bare copper wire supports 10Gbps throughput at 250MHz and handles PoE++ up to 100W.

Suits high-density racks; not for standard patching

Builders working in tight racks or routing through narrow trunking benefit from the slim profile and flexible LSZH jacket that improves airflow and eases troubleshooting access. Installers who prefer the thicker diameter and rugged feel of conventional Cat6 patch leads should look at standard cables instead.

Check port spacing and PoE budget

Verify that the snagless 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 connectors fit the port density on your switches or patch panels without blocking adjacent ports. Confirm the connected switch or injector can deliver the required PoE++ power budget up to 100W for devices such as IP cameras.

Questions about this item

What network ports must my equipment have to use this 30ft Cat6 cable?

Your devices need standard RJ45 Ethernet ports; the snagless connectors on this cable fit any Gigabit or 10Gbps port.

Will the 28AWG slim design work reliably with my existing Cat5e patch panel?

Yes, the cable meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Cat6 specs, so it interoperates with Cat5e infrastructure while supporting up to 10Gbps and 250MHz.

How can I verify the link is running at 10Gbps after I plug it in?

Check the port LEDs or OS network status for a 10Gbps link indication; the Fluke-tested, gold-plated contacts ensure signal integrity at that speed.
