StarTech.com Cat6 Male RJ45 to Male RJ45 Ethernet Cable, U/UTP Shield, Black PVC Sheath, 0.5m, Low Smoke Zero Halogen

StarTech's high-performance ethernet cable is packed with everything you need for running secure and speedy connections. It’s ideal for packed cabling environments. The network cable offers copper conductors, gold connectors, and is terminated ready for immediate use.

StarTech.com know that cable runs and network racks can be cramped and cause overheating, particularly if not ventilated correctly. The experts, however, have designed this cable 36% thinner than a standard ethernet cord. This means better airflow and heat dissipation in tight spaces. The slim design is aided utilising 28 AWG wiring. A larger gauge means a thinner wire and aids better flexibility while reduces cabling congestion, like in a crowded network rack.

Using high-quality copper conductors in this cat6 cable not only means that it's excellent value for investment, but it also specifically helps to reduce near end cross talk noise (NEXT), which boosts reliability in transferring data.

What's great about StarTech’s ethernet range is that they have a multitude of options to suit your networking needs. This cable is 0.5m long, allowing you to connect applications like an RJ45 wall jack to a network hub, in and around your office. StarTech.com realise the importance of colour too and have provided an excellent selection to choose from. This ethernet cable is black, which means you can configure and organise your network easily by colour coding.

Prevent the chances of decreased performance through breakages with a snagless style. Snagless types, sometimes referred to as connector clip protectors, minimise the risk of breaking the RJ45 clips during the installing process, protecting the connector to fit with your requirements.

StarTech.com have even added PVC molded strain relief for when the cable is bent at an acute angle, reducing the risk of cable failure and increasing its longevity.

Health and safety is paramount in our modern society and that’s why StarTech.com have introduced LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material into their product line. This new material gives off far less toxic and light-blocking smoke if a fire were to occur, allowing those in a dangerous situation vital time to escape.

Even better is that StarTech.com use 50-micron thick gold connectors to support the longevity of the cable. By using the thickest gold plating available, the network cable maintains a fast and reliable connection over a longer period of time, withstanding up to x4 as much throughput as a standard metal connector. The RJ45 connectors also eliminate signal loss due to corrosion.

For peace of mind, StarTech provide a lifetime warranty with all their cables.
