The low-smoke, zero-halogen jacket adds safety in confined or fire-prone areas, giving you peace of mind.

Key Features of a 100W PoE Ethernet Cable

• Cable length: 2 m. Short enough for tidy runs while still reaching most rack points.
• Cable type: UTP. Unshielded design reduces weight and cost without sacrificing speed.
• Category: CAT 5/5e/6. Meets Cat6 standards for gigabit data transfer.
• Wiring scheme: T568B. Standard wiring ensures compatibility with existing networks.
• Connector type: RJ-45 - male. Universal plug fits all standard ports.
• Connector contacts: 50-micron gold. Provides a precise fit and reduces wear.
• Conductor gauge: 28 AWG pure bare copper. Improves conductivity and lowers resistance.
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH). Emits minimal toxic fumes if exposed to fire.
• PoE rating: 100W PoE++. Supports the latest IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 power delivery.
• Tested to: ANSI/TIA-568.2-D. Guarantees low crosstalk and return loss for stable signals.

Usages of a 100W PoE Ethernet Cable

Ideal for everyday networking tasks, this cable fits seamlessly into:

• High-density server racks where space is limited.
• Connecting PoE cameras and access points in office ceilings.
• Linking switches to thin-client workstations in cramped workspaces.
• Supplying power to industrial sensors in confined panels.
• Running cabling in train or aircraft cabins where fire safety is critical.

Why Choose a StarTech.com Ethernet Cable

Many buyers worry about choosing the right cable thickness for tight spaces, fearing reduced performance or overheating. Others are unsure whether a slim cable can still carry enough power for modern PoE devices. This cable’s 36 % reduced diameter solves the space issue while the LSZH jacket keeps heat down and improves airflow. Its gold-plated contacts and pure copper conductors maintain signal integrity, and the 100 W PoE rating ensures you can power demanding devices without extra adapters. By meeting strict ANSI/TIA standards and being individually tested, it removes doubt about reliability, giving you a cable that works now and will continue to perform as your network grows.
