9in Orange Slim CAT6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

This 9-inch orange Slim CAT6 Ethernet cable from StarTech.com is designed for reliable Gigabit and Power over Ethernet (PoE) network connections, particularly in high-density installations. Its 36% slimmer diameter compared to standard Cat6 cables enhances airflow and heat dissipation in confined spaces, while its increased flexibility simplifies cable routing in crowded network racks and patch panels.

The cable features snagless connectors to protect the RJ45 clips during installation, preventing snags or breakage. It utilizes 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts for a precise fit, minimizing wear and signal loss. The construction consists of 4-pair Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) using 28AWG Pure Bare Copper Wire for superior conductivity and low resistance. The flexible Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) flame-retardant jacket emits minimal smoke and toxic fumes when exposed to extreme heat, ensuring safer installations in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas like industrial settings, trains, aircraft, and residential spaces where building code compliance is critical.

The Slim CAT6 patch cable is tested to comply with ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 standards for guaranteed Cat6 performance and is Fluke Tested to ensure minimal Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss (RL). It reliably delivers up to 100W of PoE++ power, supporting IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 specifications, making it suitable for powering remote networking devices such as PoE switches and boardroom cameras.
