Description

StarTech C6PATCH20RD 20ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech C6PATCH20RD is a 20-foot, red Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed to support high-speed networking and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. Its construction ensures reliable data transmission for multi-gigabit networks, including 1/2.5/5Gbps and 10Gbps speeds up to 100 meters, making it suitable for demanding surveillance systems, network-attached storage, and high-performance workstations where bandwidth and power delivery are critical. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors offer flexibility and durability for frequent handling or routing through conduits.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment requiring Cat6 or lower category Ethernet connections. It supports IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 (PoE++) up to 100W, making it suitable for powering high-demand devices like PTZ cameras, wireless access points, and network switches. The 50-micron gold-plated connectors ensure a robust connection for devices from brands such as Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, Dahua, and other IP surveillance manufacturers, as well as standard network switches and routers.

Installation Notes

The cable features a flexible PVC jacket for ease of installation in various environments. Its stranded copper construction provides better flexibility than solid core cables, reducing strain on connectors when routed through tight spaces or around corners. The ETL verification and UL certification confirm adherence to safety and performance standards for network cabling.
