SKU CH-BV57-G44XF MPN N6PAT3WHS

A 3 ft white Cat6 UTP patch cable with 28 AWG bare copper conductors, slim LSZH jacket and snagless RJ45 connectors supporting 10 Gbps and 100 W PoE

  • Wire Gauge28 AWG
  • Slim 28 AWG design improves airflow in crowded racks
  • Supports 10 Gbps speeds for high-bandwidth networks
  • Delivers up to 100 W PoE for powered devices
  • Low-smoke zero-halogen jacket enhances fire safety
  • Gold-plated RJ45 contacts resist corrosion for reliable connections

Slim CAT6 cable for tight spaces

The STARTECH N6PAT3WHS is a 3-foot white Cat6 patch cord built with 28 AWG bare copper conductors. Its slim unshielded twisted-pair design is 36% slimmer than standard cables, making it suited for dense patch panels, crowded racks or narrow cable-management channels where airflow matters.

Consistent throughput under load

The cable supports 10 Gbps data rates and 100 W Power over Ethernet, so sustained transfers and powered devices keep their negotiated speeds without throttling. Low near-end crosstalk and return-loss figures keep signal integrity stable during long sessions, while gold-plated RJ-45 contacts resist oxidation that can degrade performance over time.

Check connector clearance and jacket rating

Verify that the equipment ports accept standard RJ-45 plugs without blocking adjacent ports, as the snagless boot still adds depth. Confirm that a low-smoke zero-halogen jacket meets your building or rack fire-code requirements, and ensure the 3-foot length reaches between your switch and device without tension.

Questions about this item

Does the 28 AWG cable run hot when carrying 100 W PoE continuously?

The 28 AWG bare copper conductors are rated for 100 W PoE, so normal operation stays within thermal limits for continuous use.

What devices must already have RJ-45 ports to use this patch cord?

Both ends use male RJ-45 connectors, so the switch, router, server or panel you connect to must each provide a standard RJ-45 jack.

Will the slim 36 % thinner jacket fit alongside older Cat5e cables in the same tray?

Yes, the reduced diameter improves airflow and allows the Cat6 cable to sit neatly beside legacy Cat5e runs in crowded trays.
