StarTech.com N6PAT1BKS10PK 10-Pack Slim Cat6 Ethernet Patch Cables, Black

StarTech 1ft Black Slim CAT6 Cable, 10 Pack, Snagless RJ45, UTP, LSZH, 28AWG Pure Bare Copper, Slim Network Patch Cord

StarTech.com N6PAT1BKS10PK Slim Cat6 Ethernet patch cables provide a streamlined solution for network installations requiring multiple reliable connections. This 10-pack supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet and up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE++), making it suitable for high-density enterprise networks, patch panels, switches, IP cameras, boardroom cameras, and other powered networking devices.

Improved Airflow and Routing

Each Slim Cat6 patch cable is 36% thinner than a standard Cat6 cable, helping improve airflow and heat dissipation in crowded racks and equipment areas. The reduced profile and flexible construction make routing easier around patch panels and between closely spaced devices. Snagless RJ45 connectors help protect the locking clips during installation and removal, reducing the risk of snags or breakage in narrow spaces.

Durable, Safety-Focused Construction

The StarTech.com N6PAT1BKS10PK uses 28 AWG pure bare copper conductors for improved conductivity and low resistance. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts provide a precise connection while helping minimize wear and signal loss. The four-pair Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) design is covered by a flexible Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket that limits smoke and toxic fumes when exposed to extreme heat. This construction is well suited for confined, industrial, transportation, and residential environments where installation safety and building-code considerations matter.

Tested Network Performance

Each cable is individually tested with a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer to verify Category 6 performance and consistent signal integrity. The cables support frequencies up to 250 MHz and are designed to minimize Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss (RL). Compliant with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 PoE++ specifications, this 10-pack delivers dependable connectivity for modern edge and on-premises network deployments.
