Description

StarTech N6PATCH3PL 3ft Purple Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH3PL is a 3-foot purple Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed to support high-speed data transmission up to 10Gbps. Its construction ensures reliable connectivity for multi-gigabit networks (1/2.5/5Gbps) and supports up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE), making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, access points, or VoIP phones without requiring a separate power adapter. The CMG fire rating indicates suitability for in-wall, general-purpose use in commercial environments. This cable is ideal for short-run connections within server racks, patch panel to switch, or device to wall outlet where a specific color code is beneficial for network organization.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is compatible with all standard RJ-45 network devices, including 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet networks. It specifically supports higher data rates of 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, and 10Gbps over distances up to 55 meters (180 feet) for 10Gbps, and longer for lower speeds, as per Cat6 specifications. It is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 standards. The T568B wiring standard ensures interoperability with most network infrastructure. It supports up to 100W PoE (802.3bt Type 4) delivery, suitable for high-power devices.

Installation Notes

The cable features 24 AWG stranded copper conductors, offering flexibility for installation in tight spaces. The operating and storage temperature range is -20°C to 80°C (-4°F to 176°F), with a humidity range of 15% to 65% RH (non-condensing). The CMG rating signifies compliance with fire safety standards for use in building riser pathways.
