Description

StarTech C6PATCH1RD 1ft Red Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech C6PATCH1RD is a 1-foot, red Category 6 Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network connections. Its short length minimizes signal degradation and cable clutter, making it ideal for connecting devices within a rack or workstation. This cable supports multi-gigabit speeds up to 10Gbps, ensuring your network infrastructure can handle demanding applications like video surveillance streams, large file transfers, and VoIP communications. The ETL verification provides assurance of its quality and performance standards.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks, but is optimized for Cat6 performance. It is suitable for connecting any network-enabled device with an RJ-45 port, including network switches, routers, servers, workstations, IP cameras, and network attached storage (NAS) devices. It supports multi-gigabit Ethernet standards (1/2.5/5Gbps) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 16 feet, making it a versatile choice for modern network upgrades.

Installation Notes

Constructed with 24 AWG stranded copper conductors, this cable offers flexibility and durability. The PVC jacket provides a balance of flexibility and protection for indoor use. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 100W, allowing you to power compatible devices like IP cameras or wireless access points directly through the network cable, simplifying installation by eliminating the need for separate power adapters.
