StarTech.com 1m CAT6 UTP 100W PoE Cable

If your network rack is cramped and overheating, finding a cable that fits tightly while still delivering fast data and power can feel impossible. The StarTech.com 1m CAT6 UTP 100W PoE Cable is a slim, high-performance patch cord that lets you route Gigabit Ethernet and up to 100 W of PoE through tight spaces without sacrificing reliability or safety.

Why the StarTech.com 1m CAT6 UTP 100W PoE Cable is the answer to crowded installations

In dense server rooms or confined wall cavities, standard CAT6 cables add bulk, block airflow and increase heat buildup, which can cause performance drops and shorten equipment life. This problem matters because overheating leads to costly downtime and premature hardware failure. The StarTech.com 1m CAT6 UTP 100W PoE Cable solves this by being 36 % thinner than ordinary CAT6 cords, allowing better ventilation and easier routing, while still meeting full Category 6 specifications and supporting PoE++ power delivery.

Usages of StarTech.com 1m CAT6 UTP 100W PoE Cable

Ideal for a range of tight-space scenarios:

• Connecting IP cameras in ceiling tiles where space is limited.
• Linking PoE switches to wall-mounted access points in crowded office closets.
• Wiring industrial control panels inside metal enclosures.
• Extending network links in train or aircraft cabins that require low-smoke, halogen-free materials.
• Running patch cords between rack-mount servers and patch panels in high-density data centres.

Key Features of StarTech.com 1m CAT6 UTP 100W PoE Cable

• Cable length: 1 m. A short run that reduces excess slack and keeps your setup tidy.
• Cable / Technology: UTP. Unshielded design simplifies installation while still delivering reliable performance.
• Connector type: RJ-45 - male (both ends). Standard plugs ensure compatibility with all Ethernet devices.
• Connector contacts plating: Gold. Gold plating resists corrosion and maintains a stable connection over time.
• Cable / Category: CAT 5/5e/6. Meets Cat6 standards for 1 Gbps data rates and high-frequency signalling.
• Wiring scheme: T568B. The common wiring layout makes it easy to integrate with existing networks.
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH). Emits minimal toxic fumes if exposed to fire, enhancing safety in confined areas.
• Conductors: 28 AWG Pure Bare Copper Wire. Pure copper reduces resistance and improves signal integrity.
• PoE rating: IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 - up to 100 W. Provides enough power for high-end cameras, wireless APs and other demanding devices.
• Test certification: Fluke® DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer™. Guarantees compliance with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards for low crosstalk and return loss.

Benefits of StarTech.com 1m CAT6 UTP 100W PoE Cable

You gain a cable that slides into the tightest gaps, keeping airflow strong and preventing overheating of your equipment. The gold-plated contacts and pure copper conductors mean a stable, low-loss connection that lasts for years without corrosion. With full PoE++ support, you can power devices directly through the cable, eliminating the need for separate power adapters and reducing clutter. The LSZH jacket adds an extra layer of safety, especially in environments where fire risk is a concern. Finally, the lifetime warranty gives you confidence that the cable will perform reliably throughout its service life.
