Description

StarTech N6PATCH2YL 2ft Yellow Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH2YL is a 2-foot, yellow Category 6 Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable network connectivity. It supports multi-gigabit speeds up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications in server rooms, network closets, or anywhere a short, high-performance link is required. The stranded copper conductors ensure flexibility, while the CMG-rated PVC jacket provides general-purpose fire safety for in-wall or surface runs. This cable is engineered to meet TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standards, ensuring compatibility with standard network equipment.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is compatible with any network device featuring an RJ-45 port, including switches, routers, servers, workstations, and IP cameras. It supports data rates of 1/2.5/5Gbps and 10Gbps, making it ideal for connecting high-speed network infrastructure components. It also supports 100W PoE (Power over Ethernet), allowing you to power compatible devices like IP phones or cameras directly through the network cable, simplifying installation and reducing clutter.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded 24 AWG copper conductors for flexibility and ease of routing in tight spaces. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure signal integrity and corrosion resistance. 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 CMG rating indicates suitability for general-purpose riser applications.
