Description

StarTech C6PATCH20PL 20ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech C6PATCH20PL is a 20-foot, purple Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network connections and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. Its construction supports multi-gigabit speeds up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for demanding network infrastructure where bandwidth and reliable power delivery are critical. The stranded copper conductors ensure flexibility for easier routing in tight spaces, while the PVC jacket provides durability for standard office or data center environments. This cable is engineered to meet the performance requirements for modern network devices, including IP cameras, access points, and high-performance workstations.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 standards. It supports data rates of 1/2.5/5Gbps and 10Gbps, ensuring compatibility with network switches, routers, and network interface cards (NICs) that support these speeds. Crucially, it is rated to deliver up to 100W of PoE power, making it ideal for powering devices like high-definition IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without requiring separate power adapters. It is suitable for use with any RJ-45 terminated network device.

Installation Notes

The 24 AWG stranded copper construction offers good flexibility for installation in racks or conduits. The PVC jacket is suitable for indoor use and standard operating temperatures. Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive bending radii or physical stress that could compromise the conductor integrity or PoE delivery capability.
