SKU CH-X8MH-Z25R9

  • Supports 10Gbps speeds with 28AWG bare copper conductors
  • Carries up to 100W PoE for powered devices
  • 36% slimmer design improves airflow in crowded racks
  • LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke in fire events

Slim CAT6 Cable for Dense Installations

This StarTech 5ft purple patch cable uses a 28AWG bare-copper construction that is 36% slimmer than standard Cat6 cords. The reduced diameter eases routing through crowded racks and panels while improving airflow around active equipment. Snagless RJ45 connectors protect the locking tabs during repeated moves. A low-smoke zero-halogen jacket meets safety requirements for plenum and riser spaces.

PoE and Speed Limits to Plan For

The cable is rated for 10Gbps transmission and carries up to 100W of Power over Ethernet, suitable for high-power access points and cameras. Because the conductors are 28AWG, voltage drop over longer runs is higher than with thicker gauges, so maximum PoE distance is shorter than the 100m channel limit. Installers should verify the power budget at the far-end device before committing to full-length links.
