Description

StarTech N6PATCH15RD 15ft Red Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH15RD is a 15-foot, red Category 6 Ethernet patch cable designed to deliver reliable network connectivity for surveillance systems, data centers, and office environments. Its CMG rating ensures it meets general-purpose fire safety standards for in-wall installations. This cable is engineered to support high-speed data rates, making it suitable for demanding network applications where bandwidth and signal integrity are critical. The N6PATCH15RD provides a robust physical link for IP cameras, NVRs, switches, and other network devices.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is compatible with all standard RJ-45 network devices, including but not limited to:

  • IP cameras from brands like Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, and Dahua.
  • Network Video Recorders (NVRs) and Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices.
  • Managed and unmanaged network switches supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps and 2.5/5/10 Gbps data rates.
  • Workstations, servers, and routers requiring Ethernet connectivity.
  • Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices, supporting up to 100W, ensuring sufficient power delivery for PoE-enabled cameras and access points.

Installation Notes

The N6PATCH15RD features stranded 24 AWG copper conductors, providing flexibility for routing in tight spaces. The PVC jacket is CMG rated for general-purpose installations, suitable for use in walls and between floors where fire safety codes apply. The cable supports TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standards. For optimal performance, especially at higher data rates like 10Gbps, ensure the total cable run does not exceed 160 feet (48.8 meters). The 50-micron gold-plated connectors ensure a durable, corrosion-resistant connection, minimizing signal loss.
