StarTech.com Fluke Tested UL/TIA Certified Ethernet Cable

The American Wire Gauge (AWG) size of a conductor, expressed as an integer that indicates the wire’s diameter and cross‑sectional area. Lower numbers represent thicker wires with higher current capacity; higher numbers indicate thinner conductors suitable for lower currents or signal applications.

The visual hue or combination of hues that a cable exhibits, expressed as common colour names such as "Black", "White" or comma‑separated lists like "Black, White". It indicates the appearance of the cable for identification and aesthetic purposes.

The linear distance that a cable covers, expressed with a length unit such as meters, centimeters or inches. It represents the total usable length of the cable for connecting devices.

The classification or category of a cable, indicating its technical specifications such as shielding type, conductor gauge, and intended use. It helps users identify the appropriate cable for their equipment and network requirements.

The type of shielding applied to a cable or its connector, indicating whether the cable is shielded against electromagnetic interference and specifying common shielding configurations such as UTP, FTP, S-FTP, or unshielded. This attribute helps users identify compatibility with devices that require specific shielding levels.

The technical classification of a cable, such as Cat5e, Cat6, Cat7, or other industry‑defined standards. It indicates the cable’s performance characteristics and compatibility with networking equipment.

The type of cable or connector technology used by the product, such as Ethernet standards (e.g., 10/100Base‑T, 1000BASE‑T, 10GBase‑T) or other networking cable types. It indicates the physical medium and protocol supported for data transmission.

A list of official certifications or compliance marks that the product has received from regulatory bodies, safety organizations, or industry standards groups. Each entry represents a distinct certification such as CE, FCC, RoHS, UL, or WEEE, and may include additional details like version numbers or specific test reports.

The substance used for the electrical conductor in a cable or connector, such as copper, aluminum, or other conductive alloys. This attribute indicates the primary material that carries current and influences conductivity, durability, and cost.

The material or construction style of the cable’s conductors, such as stranded copper, solid copper, or other conductive materials. It indicates how the individual wires are arranged and what material they are made of, which affects flexibility, durability, and signal integrity.

The physical interface or port located at the first end of a cable or device, such as USB‑A, HDMI, RJ‑45, DisplayPort, Lightning, or other standard connectors. It identifies the shape, pin count and electrical characteristics that determine compatibility with cables, adapters or other components.

The maximum theoretical speed at which a device can send or receive data, expressed in bits per second (bps) or its multiples such as kbps, mbps, gbps, etc. It represents the upper bound of throughput under optimal conditions and is useful for comparing performance across devices and interfaces.

The operating frequency of a device or component, expressed in hertz (Hz). It represents the number of cycles per second that the product’s internal circuits or wireless radios can run and is useful for comparing performance across similar products.

The type of material used to construct the outer jacket or sheath of a product, such as PVC, LSZH, TPE, nylon, ABS, or combinations thereof. This attribute helps users understand durability, fire‑resistance, and suitability for specific applications.

The linear measurement from front to back or top to bottom of a product’s packaging, expressed in a physical unit such as millimeters, centimeters, inches, etc. It indicates how deep the packaged item is and can be used for fitting, compatibility, or spatial planning.

The vertical dimension of a product’s packaging measured from its lowest to highest point. It is expressed in a physical unit such as millimetres, centimetres or inches and helps customers assess how tall the package will be when stored or shipped.

The horizontal measurement of a product’s packaging, expressed in a linear unit such as millimetres or inches. It indicates how wide the package is from one side to the other and helps customers assess fit for storage, shipping, or display.

Indicates whether the product can be used immediately after installation without requiring additional configuration or drivers.

The total count of individual units contained within a single package or bundle. This value helps customers understand how many pieces they receive when purchasing the product, and it is useful for inventory, shipping, and comparison purposes.

Indicates whether the product is manufactured in accordance with the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive, which limits the use of certain hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment.

Indicates whether the cable includes a snag‑free boot that protects the connector from damage and wear. A value of "Yes" means a snagless boot is present; "No" means it is absent.

The mass of the product expressed in a standard unit such as grams or kilograms. It represents how heavy the item is and can be used for shipping calculations, handling instructions, or consumer information.
