StarTech N6PATCH12RD 12ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable
Overview
The StarTech N6PATCH12RD is a 12-foot (3.7m) red Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network connections. It supports data rates up to 10Gbps over distances up to 160 feet (48.8m), making it suitable for demanding network environments such as surveillance systems, data centers, and high-performance workstations where reliable multi-gigabit connectivity is essential. The stranded copper conductors and gold-plated connectors ensure signal integrity and durability for consistent performance.
Compatibility
This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks and is suitable for use with any RJ-45 network device, including switches, routers, IP cameras, NVRs, and servers. It supports 100W PoE (Power over Ethernet) pass-through, making it ideal for powering PoE-enabled devices like IP cameras and wireless access points without requiring a separate power source for the cable itself. The TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard ensures broad compatibility with standard network infrastructure.
Installation Notes
The cable features a CMG-rated PVC jacket, suitable for general-purpose in-wall or surface-mount installations where fire safety is a consideration. The operating and storage temperature range is -20°C to 80°C (-4°F to 176°F), and it can operate in humidity levels from 15% to 65%. The 24 AWG stranded copper construction offers flexibility for routing in tight spaces.
