STARTECH N6PAT6ORS 6ft Orange Slim CAT6 network ethernet cable 28AWG 10Gbps 100W PoE LSZH

Slim 10 Gbps Cat6 patch cable

The 6 ft orange cable uses 28 AWG bare-copper conductors and a low-smoke zero-halogen jacket to deliver 10 Gbps Ethernet and up to 100 W Power over Ethernet in a single run. Its snagless RJ45 plugs protect the latch during frequent moves, while gold-plated contacts maintain low resistance over time. The UTP construction keeps near-end crosstalk and return loss within Cat6 limits for reliable throughput.

Crowded rack and dense patch-panel installs

Installers routing dozens of cables through tight cable managers gain 36 % more space compared with standard Cat6, improving airflow and simplifying future changes. The flexible LSZH sheath meets fire-safety requirements in plenum and riser pathways where PVC is restricted. Buyers who need shielded cable for high-EMI environments or a different jacket rating should consider other constructions.

28 AWG bare-copper conductor gauge

The 28 AWG pure bare-copper core is the specification that determines whether this cable fits the project; it enables the slim profile and 100 W PoE capability while meeting Cat6 electrical performance. Verifying that the installer’s termination tools and patch panels accept 28 AWG conductors avoids rework on site.
