StarTech.com N6PAT5MPKS 5m CAT6 100W PoE Cable

Struggling with cramped racks and overheating cables? The StarTech.com N6PAT5MPKS 5m CAT6 100W PoE Cable lets you run high-speed data and power through a slim, flexible conduit, keeping your network tidy and cool while delivering reliable gigabit performance.

Key Features of a 100W PoE Cable

• Cable length: 5 m. Gives you enough reach for most desk-to-wall or rack-to-patch-panel runs.
• Cable type: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair). Reduces interference while staying easy to install.
• Connector type: RJ-45 - male on both ends. Fits standard network ports without adapters.
• Connector contacts: 50-micron gold plating. Provides a tight, low-loss connection that lasts.
• Conductors: 28 AWG pure bare copper wire. Improves conductivity for stable data and power delivery.
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH). Emits minimal toxic fumes if a fire occurs, ideal for confined spaces.
• Airflow design: 36 % thinner than typical Cat6. Enhances cooling in dense rack environments.
• PoE rating: 100 W (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4). Powers high-demand devices such as cameras and Wi-Fi access points.

Why Choose a StarTech.com PoE Cable

If you manage a busy office, a data centre, or a home studio, you know how quickly cables can become a tangled mess that blocks airflow and makes troubleshooting a nightmare. Standard Cat6 cords are often too bulky for tight rack units, leading to overheating and reduced performance. This StarTech.com PoE Cable is engineered for high-density installations, offering a slimmer profile and snag-less connectors that glide through narrow gaps without breaking. It gives you the confidence that your network will stay fast, reliable, and safe, even when you need to power devices directly over the cable.

Benefits of StarTech.com PoE Cable

• Space saving: Its reduced thickness frees up rack space for additional equipment.
• Better cooling: Improved airflow helps keep components at optimal temperatures.
• Reliable power: 100 W PoE support powers demanding devices without extra adapters.
• Longevity: Gold-plated contacts and pure copper conductors minimise wear and signal loss.

Usages of a 100W PoE Cable

This 100W PoE Cable is perfect for connecting PoE-enabled security cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and thin-client computers in office buildings, schools, hospitals, or even on trains and aircraft where low-smoke, halogen-free materials are required. Its flexibility and durability also make it ideal for patch panels, network closets, and any scenario where you need both data and power in a single, tidy run.
