StarTech C6PATCH10RD 10ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable
Overview
The StarTech C6PATCH10RD is a 10-foot, red Category 6 Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network deployments. It supports multi-gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 10Gbps over distances up to 100 meters (328 feet), making it suitable for connecting network devices in environments requiring high bandwidth, such as surveillance systems, data centers, or high-performance workstations. The red color aids in visual identification and cable management within complex network racks.
Compatibility
This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 standards, but to achieve its rated 10Gbps speeds, it must be used with Cat6-compliant network infrastructure. This includes network switches, routers, network interface cards (NICs), and network-attached storage (NAS) devices that support 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, or 10Gbps Ethernet standards. It is suitable for use with IP cameras, NVRs, servers, and any other network-connected equipment requiring reliable, high-throughput data transmission.
Installation Notes
Ensure both ends of the C6PATCH10RD cable are securely plugged into their respective ports. For optimal performance and to achieve 10Gbps speeds, verify that all connected network devices and infrastructure components are also rated for Cat6 or higher and support the desired multi-gigabit speeds. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, as this can degrade signal integrity and reduce performance.
