StarTech N6PATCH20GR 20ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable
Overview
The StarTech N6PATCH20GR is a 20-foot (6.1 m) Category 6 Ethernet cable designed for reliable network connectivity in commercial and enterprise environments. It supports data rates up to 10 Gbps, making it suitable for multi-gigabit networks (1/2.5/5 Gbps) and ensuring future-proofing for higher bandwidth demands. The cable features stranded copper conductors for flexibility and a PVC jacket with a CMG (Communications Multipurpose Grade) fire rating, suitable for in-wall installations where fire safety is a concern. This cable is essential for connecting network devices such as IP cameras, NVRs, switches, and workstations where a stable, high-speed connection is critical.
Compatibility
This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 standards, but to achieve its full 10 Gbps potential, it must be used with Cat6 or higher rated network infrastructure. It is compatible with all RJ-45 network devices, including but not limited to: StarTech's own line of network-attached storage (NAS) devices, network video recorders (NVRs), managed and unmanaged network switches, IP surveillance cameras, and desktop computers. The 24 AWG stranded copper construction ensures flexibility and durability for frequent handling or routing through conduits.
Installation Notes
The cable is rated for operating temperatures between -20°C to 80°C (-4°F to 176°F) and storage temperatures within the same range. It supports up to 100W of PoE (Power over Ethernet), making it suitable for powering compatible devices like IP cameras or wireless access points without requiring a separate power adapter for the device itself. The TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard ensures broad compatibility with most network installations.
