StarTech C6PATCH20GR 20ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable
Overview
The StarTech C6PATCH20GR is a 20-foot gray Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed to deliver reliable network connectivity for multi-gigabit speeds up to 10Gbps. Its construction supports demanding network applications, including surveillance systems, data centers, and high-performance workstations where consistent bandwidth and low latency are critical. The stranded copper conductors ensure flexibility for easier routing in tight spaces, while the PVC jacket offers durability for standard office or commercial environments. This cable is engineered to meet the demands of modern networks requiring higher throughput and Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities.
Compatibility
This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks, but is optimized for Cat6 performance. It supports data rates of 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, and 10Gbps up to 100 meters (328 feet). It is compatible with all network devices utilizing RJ-45 connectors, including network switches, routers, IP cameras, network attached storage (NAS) devices, and workstations. The cable's 100W PoE support makes it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones directly over the Ethernet connection, simplifying installation and reducing power cabling requirements.
Installation Notes
The 24 AWG stranded copper construction provides flexibility for installation in conduits, cable trays, or behind walls. The 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure a robust connection with enhanced signal integrity and corrosion resistance. While rated for 10Gbps, performance can be affected by cable length, interference, and the quality of connected network equipment. For optimal 10Gbps performance, ensure all network components (switches, NICs) and the total cable run adhere to Cat6a or higher standards if exceeding 55 meters.
