Description

StarTech N6PATCH12YL 12ft Yellow Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH12YL is a 12-foot yellow Cat6 Ethernet patch cable engineered to support multi-gigabit network speeds up to 10 Gbps. Its 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and CMG-rated PVC jacket ensure reliable data transmission and fire safety for general-purpose installations. This cable is ideal for connecting network devices in environments requiring robust, high-speed connectivity, including surveillance systems, network attached storage (NAS), and multi-gigabit switches. The N6PATCH12YL supports up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying deployments by eliminating the need for separate power supplies for compatible devices.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is compatible with all standard RJ45 network devices, including but not limited to:

  • Network switches supporting 1/2.5/5/10 Gbps speeds
  • Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices
  • IP cameras and surveillance NVRs
  • Workstations and servers
  • Routers and access points
  • Any device utilizing an RJ45 Ethernet port

It adheres to the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard, ensuring interoperability with standard network infrastructure.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors, making it more flexible than solid core cables and suitable for frequent handling or routing around corners. The CMG (Communications Multipurpose General Use) rating indicates it meets standards for use in general building riser pathways. Operating and storage temperatures range from -20°C to 80°C (-4°F to 176°F), with humidity tolerance between 15% and 65% (non-condensing).
