Description

StarTech N6PATCH15YL 15ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH15YL is a 15-foot Category 6 Ethernet cable engineered to support multi-gigabit network speeds, including 1/2.5/5Gbps and 10Gbps. This cable is essential for environments demanding high-bandwidth data transfer, such as IP surveillance systems, network-attached storage (NAS), and high-performance workstations where standard Cat5e or even basic Cat6 might bottleneck performance. Its yellow jacket aids in visual identification and cable management within complex network racks.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX) networks. It is suitable for connecting any standard RJ45-equipped devices, including network switches, routers, IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), servers, and computers. For optimal multi-gigabit performance, ensure all connected network devices and infrastructure (switches, NICs) also support the desired speeds (1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, or 10Gbps).

Installation Notes

Ensure connectors are fully seated in their ports to maintain signal integrity. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that exceed the minimum bend radius (typically 4x cable diameter) to prevent internal conductor damage and signal degradation. For 10Gbps operation, maximum segment length is limited to 55 meters (180 feet) when used in environments with high crosstalk potential; for 1Gbps, the standard 100-meter (328 feet) limit applies.
