Description

StarTech N6PATCH25YL 25ft Cat6 Yellow Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH25YL is a 25-foot Category 6 Ethernet cable, finished in yellow, designed to support multi-gigabit network speeds up to 10Gbps. This cable is essential for ensuring consistent, high-bandwidth data transfer in environments requiring reliable network connectivity, such as connecting IP cameras to network switches or ensuring workstations have adequate bandwidth for VMS applications. Its 25-foot length provides flexibility for moderate cable runs without introducing excessive signal degradation.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks but is optimized for Cat6 infrastructure. It supports 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, and 10Gbps Ethernet speeds, making it suitable for connecting devices such as network switches, routers, IP cameras, NVRs, and workstations that support these multi-gigabit standards. It is compatible with any network device requiring an RJ45 Ethernet connection.

Installation Notes

Ensure the cable is not subjected to sharp bends or excessive tension during installation to maintain signal integrity and prevent physical damage. The RJ45 connectors are standard and do not require special tools for connection, but care should be taken to ensure they are fully seated in their ports. For optimal performance at 10Gbps, ensure all network components in the path (switches, NICs, patch panels) also support Cat6 or higher standards and the desired speeds.
