Description

StarTech N6PATCH30BK 30ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

This 30-foot (9.1 m) black Cat6 patch cable ensures reliable network connectivity for your surveillance or IT infrastructure. It supports multi-gigabit speeds up to 10Gbps over shorter distances and is rated for 100W PoE, making it suitable for powering network devices like IP cameras or access points. The stranded copper conductors and CMG fire rating make it appropriate for in-wall installations in commercial environments. The N6PATCH30BK is designed to deliver consistent performance for demanding network applications.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is compatible with all standard RJ45 network devices, including network switches, routers, IP cameras, NVRs, and computers. It supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 standards. For 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, and 10Gbps speeds, ensure your network equipment and cable runs adhere to the maximum supported distances for each speed. For 10Gbps, the maximum supported distance is 160 feet (48.8 m).

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors, offering greater flexibility than solid copper, which is beneficial for frequent cable management or installations requiring tight bends. The CMG (Communications Multipurpose Grade) rating indicates suitability for use in general-purpose riser applications within buildings. Operating and storage temperatures range from -20°C to 80°C (-4°F to 176°F), with humidity tolerance between 15% and 65%.
