Description

StarTech N6PATCH3YL 3ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH3YL is a 3-foot (0.9m) yellow Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable network connectivity and high-power Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivery. Its 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and CMG fire rating make it suitable for in-wall installations and environments where safety standards are critical. This cable ensures consistent data transfer up to 250 MHz, supporting demanding applications like IP surveillance cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones that require stable power and network links. The N6PATCH3YL model simplifies deployments by consolidating power and data over a single cable run.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is compatible with all standard RJ-45 network devices, including 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet networks. It is specifically suited for devices requiring up to 100W of PoE power, such as high-performance IP cameras, powerful wireless access points, and advanced VoIP systems. The TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard ensures interoperability with most network infrastructure. Its 24 AWG stranded copper construction offers flexibility and durability for frequent handling or routing in tight spaces.

Installation Notes

Operating temperature range is -20°C to 80°C (-4°F to 176°F), and storage temperature is the same. The cable is rated for 15% to 65% humidity. The CMG rating indicates it meets requirements for general-purpose horizontal cable in risers and plenums, offering a degree of fire resistance. The stranded copper conductor design provides better flexibility than solid core, making it easier to manage in patch panel environments or when routing around obstacles.
