Description

StarTech N6PATCH10BK 10ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH10BK is a 10-foot, black Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network connections. It supports multi-gigabit speeds up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for demanding network infrastructure, including surveillance systems, data centers, and high-performance workstations. The 24 AWG stranded copper construction ensures flexibility and durability, while the CMG-rated PVC jacket provides fire safety for in-wall installations. This cable is engineered to deliver reliable data transmission for applications requiring consistent bandwidth and low latency.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks, but is optimized for Cat6 performance. It connects standard RJ-45 network devices, including:

  • Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices
  • Network video recorders (NVRs) and IP cameras
  • Servers and workstations
  • Managed and unmanaged network switches
  • Routers and firewalls
  • VoIP phones and wireless access points

It supports data rates of 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, and 10Gbps, making it ideal for upgrading existing networks or deploying new high-bandwidth infrastructure.

Installation Notes

The cable features 24 AWG stranded copper conductors, offering greater flexibility than solid core cables, which is beneficial for frequent repositioning or routing in tight spaces. The 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure a corrosion-resistant, high-quality connection. The CMG-rated jacket is suitable for use in building environments where fire safety is a concern. Operating temperature range is -20C to 80C (-4F to 176F).
