Connect equipment where space is tight using this Ethernet cable from StarTech.com. It's made to Cat6 specifications to support 250MHz connections in data centres and offices. The slim design means it's 36% thinner than a standard patch cable. This makes it easier to route and allows for low heat dissipation and reliable airflow inside conduits.

RJ45 connectorsComes with RJ45 connectors to make it universally compatible with standard networks. The connector design helps to reduce snags during installation.
Safe connectionLow-smoke, zero-halogen jacket helps improve the fire safety of your installations.
Quality materialsMade with copper wires and gold connectors for a reliable connection.

• Twisted pair cable construction to minimise crosstalk
• Stranded wires for flexibility
• Terminated for quick, tool-free installation

The StarTech.com slim 2.5m CAT6 patch cable meets all CAT6 patch cable specifications to deliver a reliable Gigabit network connection in high-density data centre applications. The design of this slim CAT6 patch cord is 36% thinner than standard networking cables, which allows better airflow and heat dissipation in tight spaces. The cable is also more flexible than standard Ethernet cables, so cable runs are easier in crowded network racks. This cable features snag less connectors that protect the RJ45 clips during installation, making them less likely to snag or break as you pull them through narrow spaces.
