Description

StarTech N6PATCH100RD 100ft Cat6 Patch Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH100RD is a 100-foot, red, Cat6 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) patch cable designed for reliable network connectivity in commercial and residential environments. Its 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and CMG fire rating make it suitable for general-purpose in-wall installations where safety and performance are critical. This cable supports data rates up to 10Gbps over shorter distances, ensuring high-speed data transfer for demanding applications like surveillance video streams or large file transfers. The snagless RJ-45 connectors prevent damage during installation and removal.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks and is suitable for connecting network devices such as IP cameras, NVRs, switches, routers, and workstations. It supports 100W PoE (Power over Ethernet) pass-through, making it ideal for powering PoE-enabled devices like IP cameras or wireless access points without requiring a separate power source. It supports data rates of 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, and 5Gbps, and 10Gbps up to 160 feet (48 meters).

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors for flexibility, making it easier to route through conduits or around corners. The CMG (General Purpose) fire rating indicates it meets safety standards for use within walls or between floors in non-plenum spaces. Operating and storage temperatures range from -20°C to 80°C (-4°F to 176°F), with humidity tolerance between 15% and 65%.
