Description

StarTech N6PATCH4BK 4ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH4BK is a 4-foot, black Category 6 Ethernet cable designed to support multi-gigabit network speeds up to 10Gbps. Its stranded copper conductors and CMG fire rating make it suitable for in-wall installations and general network connectivity where reliable data transmission is critical. This cable is engineered to meet the demands of modern networks, ensuring consistent performance for devices like IP cameras, NVRs, and network switches. The N6PATCH4BK model ensures you have the right length for short-run, clean installations.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks, but is optimized for Cat6 performance. It supports data rates of 1/2.5/5Gbps and 10Gbps, making it ideal for connecting high-bandwidth devices such as IP surveillance cameras, network attached storage (NAS) devices, and workstations to your network infrastructure. It is compatible with any RJ-45 network port on routers, switches, servers, and endpoint devices.

Installation Notes

Featuring stranded 24 AWG copper conductors, this cable offers greater flexibility compared to solid core cables, simplifying installation in tight spaces. The CMG (Communications Multipurpose Grade) rating indicates it is suitable for general-purpose horizontal cabling within walls and between floors, meeting safety standards for indoor installations. The operating temperature range of -20C to 80C (-4F to 176F) allows for deployment in various environmental conditions. Gold-plated connectors ensure a durable, corrosion-resistant connection for optimal signal integrity.
