StarTech C6PATCH2GR 2ft Gray CAT6 Ethernet Cable
Overview
The StarTech C6PATCH2GR is a 2-foot gray Category 6 Ethernet patch cable designed for high-performance network connections. Its stranded copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable data transmission for demanding applications, including surveillance systems, data centers, and VoIP deployments. The CMG-rated PVC jacket provides fire safety compliance for in-wall installations. This cable supports data rates up to 10Gbps over shorter distances, making it suitable for critical patch panel to switch or device connections.
Compatibility
This CAT6 cable is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT5 networks. It is suitable for connecting network devices such as IP cameras, NVRs, network switches, routers, servers, and workstations. The 24 AWG stranded wire construction is ideal for patch cable applications where flexibility is required, unlike solid core cables which are better suited for fixed installations.
Installation Notes
The cable is rated for 100W PoE (Power over Ethernet) delivery, ensuring sufficient power for PoE-enabled devices without requiring separate power supplies. It supports 1/2.5/5Gbps and 10Gbps data rates up to 160 feet, though shorter runs like this 2ft cable are optimal for maximum bandwidth and signal integrity. The TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard ensures compatibility with standard network infrastructure.
