StarTech.com 1m Purple Slim CAT6 Ethernet Cable 100W PoE UTP Cable

Struggling with cramped racks and overheating cables? The StarTech.com 1m Purple Slim CAT6 Ethernet Cable 100W PoE UTP Cable is a thin, flexible patch cord that delivers gigabit speeds and up to 100 W of power, perfect for tight installations where airflow matters.

Usages of a 100W PoE Ethernet Cable

Ideal for powering IP cameras, wireless access points, or thin-client devices in crowded server rooms, conference rooms and even on trains or aircraft where space and fire safety are critical. Its short 1 m length makes it a tidy solution for connecting equipment on the same shelf or rack.

Benefits of StarTech.com Ethernet Cable

• Space saving: The slim profile is 36 % thinner than standard cables, freeing up room in dense racks.
• Better cooling: Thin jacket improves airflow, reducing heat buildup on active ports.
• Reliable power: Supports IEEE 802.3bt Type 4, delivering up to 100 W to devices without extra adapters.
• Easy handling: Snagless RJ-45 connectors prevent breakage when pulling through tight gaps.
• Long life: Gold-plated contacts and a low-smoke, zero-halogen jacket meet strict safety standards.

StarTech.com Ethernet Cable Choice

Choosing this cable means you get a high-performance Cat6 solution that doesn’t compromise on safety or flexibility. The pure bare-copper conductors and 28 AWG wiring give low resistance, so you enjoy stable gigabit connections even when powering demanding equipment.

Unlike bulkier alternatives, the LSZH jacket emits minimal smoke and toxic fumes if exposed to fire, making it suitable for environments with strict building codes. Each cable is individually tested with a Fluke® DSX2-8000 Analyzer to meet ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards, ensuring consistent signal quality and minimal interference.
