StarTech.com N6PAT5MBLS 5m CAT 6 PoE UTP Cable

Struggling with cramped rack space and overheating cables? The StarTech.com N6PAT5MBLS 5m CAT 6 PoE UTP Cable is a slim, high-performance patch cord that delivers gigabit data and up to 100 W of PoE in tight installations, keeping your network fast and your equipment cool.

Key Features of a 5m Cat6 Cable

• Cable length: 5 m. Provides enough reach for most rack-to-device connections without excess slack.
• Cable type: UTP. Unshielded design reduces weight and cost while meeting Cat 6 standards.
• Connector gender: Male - Male. Both ends feature RJ-45 plugs for straightforward patching.
• Connector type: RJ-45. Standard interface compatible with switches, routers, cameras and more.
• Gold contacts: 50-micron gold plating. Ensures low-loss connections and resists corrosion.
• Conductor gauge: 28 AWG pure bare copper. Improves conductivity for reliable signal transmission.
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH). Emits minimal toxic fumes if exposed to fire, ideal for confined or public spaces.
• Snagless design: Integrated strain relief protects the RJ-45 clips during installation, reducing breakage.
• Tested compliance: Fluke® DSX2-8000 analysis meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D, guaranteeing minimal crosstalk and return loss.
• PoE rating: IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 (up to 100 W). Powers high-demand devices such as PTZ cameras or Wi-Fi access points.

Why Choose a StarTech.com Cat6 Cable

If you manage a busy office, data centre or industrial environment, you know how quickly standard cables can become a bottleneck. Over-sized bundles restrict airflow, cause heat build-up and make future upgrades a nightmare. This slim Cat6 cable is 36 % thinner than typical Ethernet cords, letting air flow freely through dense rack rows. Its flexibility lets you route cables around tight bends without damaging the conductors, saving you time and avoiding costly re-work. Whether you’re upgrading a conference-room AV system or expanding a smart-building network, the cable’s reliable performance and robust safety features keep your infrastructure running smoothly.

Benefits of StarTech.com Cat6 Cable

• Space-saving: Thin profile frees up rack space and improves cooling.
• Easy installation: Snagless connectors and flexible jacket reduce effort and risk of damage.
• High power delivery: Supports up to 100 W PoE++ for demanding devices.
• Longevity: Gold-plated contacts and pure copper conductors resist wear and signal loss.
• Safety first: LSZH jacket limits hazardous fumes in fire scenarios.

Usages of a 5m Cat6 Cable

The 5 m length makes this cable perfect for connecting switches to wall outlets, linking PoE cameras to NVRs, or extending power-over-Ethernet to wireless access points in crowded office floors, data-centre racks, train cabins, or even aircraft cabins where fire-safety standards are strict. Its versatile design fits any high-density network where reliable speed and power are essential.
