StarTech.com N6PAT7MRDS Cat6 Ethernet Cable, 7 m, Red, UTP Low Smoke Zero Halogen Sheath

This ethernet cable provides a conductive link for networked equipment in industrial and commercial settings. It uses stranded copper conductors within an unshielded twisted-pair configuration and is intended for installations where reduced halogen emissions and limited smoke generation are required. The jacket is coloured red to aid Visual identification in cabling runs and is suitable for environments that demand controlled fire-behaviour materials.

• Cat6 performance supports higher-speed data transmission
• LSZH jacket reduces toxic gases and smoke in fire incidents
• 28AWG stranded conductors give enhanced flexibility for routing
• UTP construction minimises cost while enabling common network layouts
• RoHS compliance indicates restricted hazardous substances adherence
• Operates between 10°C and 60°C for varied ambient conditions

• Suitable for cabinet-to-switch patching in factory automation
• Ideal for wiring Terminal enclosures in electrical control panels
• Used with instrumentation racks in electronics labs
• Can be used for temporary field network links on site
• Suitable for mechanical test rigs requiring identifiable patching

Stranded copper conductors provide improved flexibility compared with solid wire, making tight bends and repeated movement in patching scenarios easier to route without conductor fatigue.

The low-smoke zero-halogen sheath limits halogen gas release and smoke density during combustion, aiding evacuation and reducing corrosive residues on sensitive electronics.

The cable is rated for continuous use within a minimum of 10°C and a maximum of 60°C, suitable for most indoor industrial and equipment-room temperatures.

With an outside diameter of 3.6 mm, it occupies minimal space within bundling and tray systems, allowing higher cable density and simpler routing in constrained pathways.
