StarTech C6PATCH3RD 3ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable
Overview
The StarTech C6PATCH3RD is a 3-foot, red Category 6 Ethernet cable designed for reliable network connectivity in environments requiring Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 100W. Its short length minimizes cable clutter in dense rack deployments or for connecting nearby devices, ensuring a clean and efficient setup. The stranded copper conductors offer flexibility, making it suitable for patch panel connections or temporary runs where movement is expected. This cable is ETL Verified to ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards, confirming its performance for Gigabit Ethernet and beyond.
Compatibility
This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and forward compatible with Cat7 standards, supporting data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) and frequencies up to 250 MHz. It is ideal for connecting network devices such as IP cameras, network switches, routers, servers, and workstations. The 100W PoE support makes it suitable for powering high-demand devices like PTZ cameras or wireless access points directly over the Ethernet cable, simplifying installation by eliminating the need for separate power adapters.
Installation Notes
The 24 AWG stranded copper construction provides flexibility for installation in tight spaces or where the cable may be moved. The PVC jacket offers durability for standard indoor environments. The 50-micron gold-plated connectors ensure a robust connection and resistance to corrosion, critical for maintaining signal integrity over time.
