StarTech.com N6PAT6INBKS10PK 6-Inch Slim Cat6 Patch Cable, Black, 10-Pack

StarTech 6in Black Slim CAT6 Cable, 10 Pack, Snagless RJ45, UTP, LSZH, 28AWG Pure Bare Copper, Slim Network Patch Cord

The StarTech.com N6PAT6INBKS10PK 10-pack of slim Cat6 patch cables provides a practical, space-saving solution for network installations in homes, offices, server rooms, and high-density enterprise environments. Each black cable supports 10Gbps Ethernet performance and up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE++) for compatible devices such as network switches, access points, IP cameras, and boardroom cameras.

Improved Airflow and Routing

These slim Cat6 cables are 36% thinner than standard Cat6 patch cables, helping improve airflow and heat dissipation between densely packed network equipment. Their flexible construction makes routing through crowded racks, patch panels, and cable-management systems easier while providing improved access for installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Snagless RJ45 connectors help protect the locking clips during installation and reduce the risk of catching on adjacent cables or equipment.

Durable, Low-Smoke Construction

The StarTech.com N6PAT6INBKS10PK cables use 28AWG pure bare copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts for dependable conductivity, a secure connection, and reduced signal loss. The four-pair unshielded twisted-pair design supports reliable Category 6 networking, while the flexible Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket is flame retardant and produces reduced smoke and toxic fumes when exposed to extreme heat. This makes the cables suitable for many residential, commercial, and confined-space installations where safety and building-code considerations matter.

Tested for Network Reliability

Each cable is individually tested with a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer to verify consistent signal integrity and Category 6 performance. The cables comply with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D requirements and support operation up to 250MHz, with testing focused on minimizing Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss (RL). Backed by a lifetime limited warranty, this 10-pack is well suited for organized edge, on-premises, and residential network deployments.
