Description

StarTech N6PATCH2BK 2ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH2BK is a 2-foot, black Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network connections. It supports multi-gigabit speeds up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for demanding network environments where bandwidth is critical, such as connecting high-performance workstations, network-attached storage (NAS) devices, or surveillance NVRs. The stranded copper conductors ensure flexibility, while the CMG-rated PVC jacket provides general-purpose fire safety for in-wall or exposed runs.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device utilizing an RJ-45 connector and requiring Cat6 or lower performance standards. It is suitable for use with 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet networks, as well as 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, and 10Gbps networks. It supports PoE (Power over Ethernet) up to 100W, making it ideal for powering devices like IP cameras or wireless access points without needing a separate power adapter.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded 24 AWG copper conductors, offering flexibility for routing in tight spaces. The operating and storage temperature range is -20°C to 80°C, and it can operate in humidity levels from 15% to 65%. The TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard ensures broad compatibility with network infrastructure.
