Description

StarTech N6PATCH20RD 20ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH20RD is a 20-foot, red, Category 6 Ethernet cable designed for reliable network connectivity in demanding environments. Its construction supports data rates up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications like IP surveillance, data transfer, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 100W. The CMG-rated PVC jacket ensures safety for in-wall installations, while the stranded copper conductors provide flexibility and durability for frequent handling or routing. This cable is ideal for connecting network devices such as IP cameras, NVRs, switches, and workstations where consistent performance is critical.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device utilizing an RJ-45 connector and requiring Cat6 performance standards. This includes, but is not limited to: all IP cameras (e.g., Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, Dahua), network video recorders (NVRs), managed and unmanaged network switches, routers, servers, and desktop computers. It supports 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet), 2.5GBASE-T, 5GBASE-T, and 10GBASE-T Ethernet standards up to 160 feet (48 meters).

Installation Notes

The cable is rated for operating temperatures between -20C to 80C (-4F to 176F). The CMG rating indicates it is suitable for general-purpose horizontal cabling in commercial buildings. The stranded 24 AWG copper conductors offer flexibility, simplifying installation in tight spaces or complex cable management systems. Gold-plated connectors ensure optimal signal integrity and corrosion resistance.
