Description

StarTech C6PATCH10BK 10ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech C6PATCH10BK is a 10-foot black Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed to support multi-gigabit network speeds, including 1/2.5/5Gbps and up to 10Gbps. This cable is essential for ensuring stable, high-speed data transfer in environments requiring robust network infrastructure, such as surveillance systems, data centers, or office networks. Its 24 AWG stranded copper construction and PVC jacket provide flexibility and durability for reliable connections. The C6PATCH10BK is ETL Verified, ensuring it meets industry standards for performance and safety.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with existing Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) networks and is specifically rated for 10Gbps up to 160 feet (55 meters). It supports 100W PoE (Power over Ethernet) delivery, making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones without needing separate power supplies. The TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard ensures broad compatibility with network switches, routers, patch panels, and network-enabled devices from various manufacturers.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors, offering greater flexibility compared to solid core cables, which is beneficial for frequent cable management or installations in tight spaces. The PVC jacket provides a balance of flexibility and protection. Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive bending or sharp kinks to maintain signal integrity and longevity.
