Description

StarTech C6PATCH1BK 1ft Black Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech C6PATCH1BK is a 1-foot, black Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network connections. Its 24 AWG stranded copper construction and PVC jacket ensure reliable data transmission for multi-gigabit speeds up to 10Gbps. This cable is ideal for short-run, high-bandwidth applications in server rooms, network closets, or for connecting devices within a rack where precise cable length is critical to avoid slack and maintain airflow. The C6PATCH1BK supports up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE), making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones without requiring separate power adapters.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks and supports all network devices with RJ-45 connectors, including switches, routers, patch panels, and end devices. It is verified to meet ANSI/TIA-568-2.D wiring standards, ensuring interoperability with most networking equipment. Specifically, it supports multi-gigabit speeds of 1/2.5/5Gbps and 10Gbps up to 160 feet (55 meters), making it suitable for demanding applications such as high-definition video streaming, large file transfers, and real-time data processing. It is also compatible with PoE (802.3af), PoE+ (802.3at), and UPoE (802.3bt) up to 100W.

Installation Notes

The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors provide flexibility for easy routing in tight spaces, while the PVC jacket offers durability. The 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure a secure, corrosion-resistant connection for optimal signal integrity. ETL verification and UL certification confirm adherence to safety and performance standards.
