Description

StarTech N6PATCH12PL 12ft Purple Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH12PL is a 12-foot, purple Cat6 Ethernet cable designed to deliver reliable network connectivity for multi-gigabit environments. It supports data rates up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications such as IP surveillance cameras, network-attached storage (NAS), and high-speed workstations. The cable's CMG (General Purpose) fire rating ensures it meets safety standards for in-wall installations in commercial spaces. This specific cable length and color aid in organized network infrastructure management, allowing for clear identification of network segments.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with 100/1000Base-T networks and is engineered to support the demands of 1/2.5/5Gbps and 10Gbps Ethernet standards. It is compatible with any RJ-45 network device, including switches, routers, network video recorders (NVRs), IP cameras, and servers that support these data rates. The TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard ensures broad interoperability with standard network infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Constructed with 24 AWG stranded copper conductors, this cable offers flexibility for installation in tight spaces. The PVC jacket provides durability, while the gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure optimal signal integrity and corrosion resistance. The cable is rated for operating temperatures between -20°C to 80°C (-4°F to 176°F) and humidity levels of 15% to 65%, making it suitable for a range of environmental conditions within commercial installations. It supports up to 100W PoE, allowing for powered devices to be connected without separate power supplies.
