Description

StarTech N6PATCH15BK 15ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH15BK is a 15-foot black Cat6 Ethernet cable designed to deliver reliable network connectivity for surveillance systems, workstations, and network-attached storage. Its 24 AWG stranded copper construction and T568B wiring ensure performance up to 250 MHz, supporting data rates of 1, 2.5, 5, and 10Gbps. This cable is CMG rated, making it suitable for in-wall installations where fire safety is a concern, and supports up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is compatible with all standard RJ-45 network devices, including IP cameras, NVRs, switches, routers, and computers. It is suitable for use with any system requiring a Cat6 or lower-rated Ethernet connection (Cat5e, Cat5) and supports Power over Ethernet (PoE, PoE+, PoE++) up to 100W, ensuring devices like IP cameras receive both data and power through a single cable.

Installation Notes

The cable features a flexible PVC jacket and is rated for operating temperatures between -20°C and 80°C (-4°F to 176°F). Its stranded copper conductors offer better flexibility than solid copper, simplifying installation in tight spaces or where frequent bending is required. The CMG rating indicates it meets standards for use in vertical or general-purpose riser applications.
