StarTech N6PATCH20YL 20ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable
Overview
The StarTech N6PATCH20YL is a 20-foot (6.1m) yellow Cat6 Ethernet cable designed for reliable network connectivity. Its stranded copper conductors and 24 AWG wire gauge ensure flexibility and durability, making it suitable for installations where the cable may be moved or routed around obstacles. This cable supports multi-gigabit speeds up to 10Gbps, ensuring your network infrastructure can handle demanding applications like high-definition video streaming, large file transfers, and real-time surveillance feeds. The CMG-rated PVC jacket provides general-purpose fire safety for in-wall or riser applications.
Compatibility
This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks, but is optimized for Cat6 performance. It is suitable for connecting network devices such as IP cameras, NVRs, network switches, routers, and workstations. The RJ-45 connectors are gold-plated for enhanced signal integrity and corrosion resistance. It supports 100W PoE, making it ideal for powering PoE-enabled devices like IP cameras or wireless access points without needing a separate power supply.
Installation Notes
The cable operates within a temperature range of -20°C to 80°C (-4°F to 176°F), allowing for deployment in a variety of environmental conditions. The stranded conductor design offers better flexibility compared to solid core cables, simplifying installation in tight spaces or complex routing paths. It adheres to the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard.
