Description

StarTech C6PATCH2RD 2ft Red Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

This 2-foot, red Cat6 patch cable, model C6PATCH2RD, is engineered for high-speed network deployments where reliable connectivity is critical. Its construction supports multi-gigabit Ethernet speeds, including 1/2.5/5Gbps and up to 10Gbps over distances up to 160 feet, making it suitable for connecting high-performance network devices like IP cameras, NVRs, or servers in demanding environments. The vibrant red color aids in visual identification and cable management within complex network racks.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is compatible with all standard RJ-45 network interfaces and supports IEEE 802.3bt PoE up to 100W, ensuring it can power compatible devices without requiring a separate power source. It is suitable for use with any network equipment requiring Cat6 performance, including 10/100/1000Base-T and multi-gigabit (2.5GBase-T, 5GBase-T, 10GBase-T) Ethernet standards. Use this cable for connecting network switches, routers, IP cameras, NVRs, workstations, and servers.

Installation Notes

Constructed with 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and a PVC jacket, this cable offers flexibility and durability for installations in structured cabling systems. The ETL verification ensures it meets industry standards for performance and safety. The stranded conductors provide better flexibility for routing in tight spaces compared to solid core cables.
