StarTech N6PATCH12BK 12ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable
Overview
The StarTech N6PATCH12BK is a 12-foot black Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed to reliably deliver multi-gigabit network speeds up to 10Gbps. This cable is essential for connecting network devices in environments requiring higher bandwidth than standard Gigabit Ethernet, such as surveillance systems utilizing high-resolution IP cameras or network-attached storage (NAS) devices. Its stranded copper conductors and 24 AWG gauge ensure flexibility and signal integrity for critical data transfers.
Compatibility
This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with 10/100/1000Mbps networks and supports the following data rates: 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, and 10Gbps, up to its 12-foot length. It is compatible with any network device featuring an RJ-45 Ethernet port, including IP cameras, NVRs, switches, routers, and workstations. The TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard ensures broad interoperability with standard networking equipment.
Installation Notes
The cable jacket is constructed from CMG-rated PVC, suitable for general-purpose in-wall or surface-mount installations where fire safety ratings are required. Operating and storage temperatures range from -20°C to 80°C, with humidity tolerance between 15% and 65%. The stranded copper conductor design offers better flexibility for routing in tight spaces compared to solid core cables, though it is generally recommended for shorter runs and patch applications rather than permanent in-wall infrastructure.
