Description

StarTech C6PATCH3BK 3ft Black Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech C6PATCH3BK is a 3-foot, black Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable network connectivity in environments requiring high-speed data transfer. Its 24 AWG stranded copper construction ensures flexibility and durability, making it suitable for connecting network devices like IP cameras, NVRs, switches, and workstations. This cable is rated for 250 MHz, supporting data rates up to 10Gbps over shorter distances, and is ETL Verified to ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards, ensuring performance and compliance for your network infrastructure.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks and supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet speeds. It is also engineered to support higher data rates, including 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, and up to 10Gbps over distances up to 160 feet (55 meters). This makes it ideal for connecting devices within a rack, between a wall plate and a device, or for any short-run application where high bandwidth is critical, such as IP surveillance systems, VoIP phones, and high-speed data transfers.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors, providing greater flexibility compared to solid core cables, which is beneficial for frequent movement or in tight installations. The PVC jacket offers a balance of flexibility and protection. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 100W, ensuring it can reliably power PoE-enabled devices without degradation of network performance.
