Description

StarTech N6PATCH30RD 30ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH30RD is a 30-foot Category 6 Ethernet cable, specifically designed to support multi-gigabit network speeds up to 10Gbps. This cable is essential for environments requiring high-bandwidth data transfer, such as IP surveillance systems, high-performance workstations, and network-attached storage (NAS) devices. Its 30-foot length provides flexibility for routing within server racks, across offices, or between network closets without excessive slack. The N6PATCH30RD ensures signal integrity for demanding network applications.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks, but is optimized for Cat6 performance. It supports IEEE 802.3bz standards for 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, and 5Gbps Ethernet, as well as the full 10Gbps Ethernet standard (10GBASE-T) over shorter distances, typically up to 55 meters (180 feet). It is compatible with all network devices featuring RJ45 Ethernet ports, including switches, routers, network cameras, NVRs, servers, and workstations from all major manufacturers.

Installation Notes

Ensure the cable is not subjected to sharp bends exceeding a 4x cable diameter radius to maintain optimal performance and prevent internal conductor damage. Avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines for extended distances to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI). The RJ45 connectors are standard and do not require special tools for connection, simply plug and play into compatible ports.
