StarTech.com N6PAT9INBKS10PK Slim Cat6 Ethernet Patch Cable, Black, 10-Pack

StarTech 9in Black Slim CAT6 Cable, 10 Pack, Snagless RJ45, UTP, LSZH, 28AWG Pure Bare Copper, Slim Network Patch Cord

The StarTech.com N6PAT9INBKS10PK Slim Cat6 Ethernet Patch Cable 10-Pack provides a practical, space-saving solution for high-density network installations. These black Cat6 patch cables support 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections and up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE++), making them suitable for enterprise networks, patch panels, switches, access points, IP cameras, and other PoE devices.

Improved Airflow and Routing

Each Slim Cat6 cable is 36% thinner than a standard Cat6 cable, helping improve airflow and heat dissipation between closely installed network devices. The flexible design simplifies cable management in crowded racks, cabinets, and patch panels while providing easier access for installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance. Snagless RJ45 connectors help protect the locking clips during routing and reduce the risk of snags or breakage in narrow spaces.

Durable, Safer Construction

The StarTech.com N6PAT9INBKS10PK uses 28 AWG pure bare copper conductors for dependable conductivity and low resistance. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts provide a precise connection and help minimize wear and signal loss over repeated use. The four-pair unshielded twisted-pair design supports reliable Cat6 performance, while the flexible Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket helps reduce smoke and toxic fumes when exposed to extreme heat. This construction is well suited for confined, residential, commercial, industrial, transportation, and other installations where safety and building-code considerations are important.

Tested Network Performance

Each cable is individually tested with a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer to verify Cat6 performance and signal integrity. The cables comply with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 requirements and support frequencies up to 250 MHz, with testing focused on minimizing Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss (RL). Compatible with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 PoE++ specifications, this 10-pack helps deliver dependable data and power connectivity for modern edge and on-premises network deployments.
