STARTECH

STARTECH N6PAT20BLKS 20ft Black Slim CAT6 network ethernet cable

SKU CH-QJED-3Y3HQ MPN N6PAT20BLKS

Slim 20-foot Cat6 cable with 3.6 mm diameter carries 10 Gbps at 250 MHz and delivers up to 100 W PoE++ over pure bare copper conductors

  • 36% slimmer diameter streamlines dense cabling
  • Snagless gold-plated contacts minimise signal loss
  • LSZH jacket emits low toxic fumes in fire
  • 28AWG pure copper supports 100W PoE++
  • Fluke tested to ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Cat6 performance

Slim CAT6 Design

The StarTech N6PAT20BLKS is a 20ft black slim CAT6 ethernet cable built for dense network installations. Its 3.6mm diameter is 36% slimmer than standard CAT6, improving routing flexibility and airflow in crowded cabinets. The cable supports 10 Gbps at 250MHz and handles PoE++ up to 100W for power-hungry devices like IP cameras. It suits installers who need reliable high-speed links in tight spaces.

Thermals Noise Power

As a passive copper cable, the N6PAT20BLKS generates no heat, emits no noise and draws no power of its own. The 28AWG pure bare copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated contacts minimise resistive loss across the 20ft run. LSZH jacket material limits toxic fume emission if combustion occurs, aiding safety in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. Fluke testing verifies consistent signal integrity under normal operating conditions.

Build Fit

Snagless RJ45 connectors protect the locking tab during frequent patching in high-density panels. The UTP construction and 3.6mm outer diameter free up space in cable managers and allow tighter bends without performance loss. ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 and IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 compliance ensure interoperability with standard CAT6 infrastructure and PoE++ equipment. This cable does not suit installations requiring shielded cabling or longer unsupported runs beyond the specified length.

Questions about this item

How do you route the 3.6mm slim cable through tight panels without snagging the RJ45 clips?

The 3.6mm outer diameter and snagless RJ45 boots let the 28AWG pure bare copper cable bend through dense racks; the boot design stops the latch catching on adjacent ports during insertion.

What wears out first on a 100W PoE++ run and when should the cable be replaced?

Gold-plated contacts rated at 50-micron thickness resist corrosion from repeated PoE++ mating cycles; replace if the jacket shows heat discoloration or if Fluke-certified 250MHz performance drops below spec.

At what point does the 28AWG conductor limit sustained 10Gbps throughput over the full 20ft length?

The 28AWG pure bare copper meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 up to 250MHz; sustained 10Gbps holds across the full 20ft, but bundle heating in tight PoE++ runs can raise insertion loss before the 100m channel limit.
