Description

StarTech N6PATCH2PL 2ft Purple Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH2PL is a 2-foot (0.6m) Category 6 Ethernet cable, finished in purple, designed for reliable network connectivity in environments requiring short, high-performance patch runs. Its stranded copper conductors and 24 AWG wire gauge support data rates up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications like IP surveillance, data centers, and VoIP deployments where signal integrity over short distances is critical. The CMG-rated PVC jacket ensures compliance for general-purpose in-wall or exposed installations.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment utilizing RJ-45 connectors, including switches, routers, network interface cards, and IP cameras. It supports 100W Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivery, ensuring compatibility with PoE-enabled devices without requiring separate power supplies. The TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard ensures broad interoperability with existing network infrastructure.

Installation Notes

With a CMG fire rating, this cable is suitable for general-purpose use in commercial buildings. The operating and storage temperature range is -20°C to 80°C (-4°F to 176°F), with humidity tolerance between 15% and 65%. The stranded copper conductor construction provides flexibility for routing in tight spaces, while the gold-plated RJ-45 connectors offer corrosion resistance for a stable connection.
