Description

StarTech N6PATCH4RD 4ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH4RD is a 4-foot, red Category 6 Ethernet cable designed to support multi-gigabit speeds up to 10Gbps. Its stranded copper conductors and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable data transmission for demanding network applications, including surveillance systems, high-speed data transfer, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 100W. The CMG-rated PVC jacket provides general-purpose fire safety for in-wall or exposed installations.

Compatibility

This cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks, but is optimized for Cat6 performance. It supports 1/2.5/5Gbps and 10Gbps data rates, making it suitable for connecting network devices such as IP cameras, NVRs, switches, routers, and workstations that require high bandwidth and low latency. The T568B wiring standard ensures broad compatibility with most network infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Operating and storage temperatures range from -20°C to 80°C, with humidity tolerance between 15% and 65%. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductor construction offers flexibility for routing in tight spaces. The cable supports up to 100W of PoE, simplifying deployment by allowing network devices to receive power and data over a single Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power adapters.
