StarTech C6PATCH3GR 3ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable
Overview
The StarTech C6PATCH3GR is a 3-foot gray Category 6 Ethernet cable designed to deliver reliable network connectivity for multi-gigabit environments. This cable supports data transfer rates of 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 Gbps, ensuring that your network infrastructure can handle demanding applications such as high-resolution video streaming, large file transfers, and real-time communication protocols. Its 3-foot length is ideal for short-run connections within server racks, network closets, or between workstations and wall ports, minimizing cable clutter and simplifying network management.
Compatibility
This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with existing Gigabit Ethernet networks and is engineered to meet the performance requirements for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) over shorter distances. It is suitable for connecting a wide range of network devices, including network attached storage (NAS) devices, IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), workstations, servers, routers, switches, and PoE-powered devices. Ensure your network equipment and switch ports support the desired multi-gigabit speeds for full performance realization.
Installation Notes
The cable features molded strain-relief boots that protect the RJ45 connectors from damage during installation and use, preventing excessive bending at the connection points. The snagless design of the connectors ensures easy insertion and removal without damaging adjacent ports. The cable's construction includes 24 AWG copper wire, which is essential for supporting higher data rates and longer cable runs compared to CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum) cables. For optimal 10Gbps performance, it is recommended to keep runs under 100 meters (328 feet).
