StarTech N6PAT15MRDS Red 15 m slim CAT6 Ethernet cable

Key capabilities

36% slimmer cable profile

The slim CAT6 design improves flexibility and can help preserve airflow in crowded racks, cabinets and patch-panel installations.

CAT6 performance

Rated for CAT6 operation up to 250 MHz and data rates up to 10Gbps when the connected equipment and end-to-end channel support those speeds.

Up to 100W PoE++

Supports compatible IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 PoE applications, allowing data and power to be carried over the same network cable.

Pure copper, LSZH construction

Uses 28 AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors, 4-pair UTP wiring, 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts and a Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket.

What to know before buying

Both ends use male RJ45 connectors with snagless strain relief.
The cable is unshielded 4-pair UTP, not a shielded network cable.
Maximum network speed depends on the full Ethernet channel and connected equipment.
PoE power depends on compatible PoE sourcing equipment, the powered device and available power budget.
The cable is passive and requires no drivers or external power supply.
