Description

StarTech N6PATCH2OR 2ft Orange Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH2OR is a 2-foot orange Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network connections. It supports multi-gigabit speeds up to 10Gbps over distances of 160 feet, making it suitable for demanding network infrastructure in server rooms, data centers, or any environment requiring reliable, high-bandwidth data transmission. The CMG-rated PVC jacket ensures durability and fire safety for in-wall or exposed installations. The N6PATCH2OR utilizes 24 AWG stranded copper conductors for flexibility and reliable signal integrity.

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 switches, routers, servers, workstations, and IP cameras that support 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, or 10Gbps Ethernet standards. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 100W, ensuring compatibility with PoE-powered devices without requiring a separate power supply.

Installation Notes

The cable is wired to the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B standard. Its 2-foot length is ideal for short, clean cable runs between network equipment in racks or patch panels, minimizing cable clutter. The operating and storage temperature range is -20°C to 80°C, with humidity tolerance from 15% to 65% RH (non-condensing).
