StarTech N6PATCH3RD 3ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable
Overview
The StarTech N6PATCH3RD is a 3-foot, red Category 6 Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network connections. It supports data rates up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for demanding network environments including multi-gigabit speeds (1/2.5/5Gbps). The CMG rating indicates it is suitable for use in building riser or plenum spaces, offering a fire-resistant jacket. This cable ensures reliable connectivity for network-attached storage (NAS), workstations, servers, and surveillance systems requiring high bandwidth and low latency.
Compatibility
This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks, but to achieve its full 10Gbps potential, it must be used with Cat6 or higher rated network infrastructure, including switches, routers, and network interface cards (NICs). It is compatible with any RJ-45 terminated network device. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors ensure flexibility and performance for connections up to 100 meters (328 feet) at 10Gbps, though this specific model is limited to 3 feet.
Installation Notes
The cable features 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for enhanced durability and signal integrity. The T568B wiring standard ensures proper termination for standard Ethernet networks. Operating and storage temperatures range from -20°C to 80°C, with humidity tolerance between 15% and 65%. The stranded copper construction provides flexibility, making it easier to manage in tight spaces or complex cable runs.
