Description

StarTech N6PATCH4YL 4ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH4YL is a 4-foot yellow Cat6 Ethernet cable designed to support multi-gigabit network speeds up to 10Gbps. Its stranded copper conductors and 24 AWG wire gauge ensure signal integrity for demanding network applications, including surveillance systems requiring high bandwidth for multiple cameras or high-resolution streams. The CMG-rated PVC jacket provides general-purpose fire safety for in-wall or exposed runs. This cable is suitable for deployments needing reliable connectivity for network-attached storage (NAS), high-speed switches, or workstations demanding more than standard Gigabit performance.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with 10/100/1000Mbps networks and supports the following multi-gigabit Ethernet standards: 1Gbps (1000BASE-T), 2.5Gbps (2.5GBASE-T), 5Gbps (5GBASE-T), and 10Gbps (10GBASE-T). It utilizes standard RJ-45 connectors, ensuring compatibility with virtually all network devices, including routers, switches, network interface cards (NICs), and IP cameras that support these speeds. The TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard ensures adherence to industry specifications.

Installation Notes

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%. The stranded copper conductor construction offers flexibility for routing in tight spaces, but care should be taken to avoid sharp bends that could compromise the 24 AWG gauge. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide corrosion resistance and reliable electrical contact. This cable supports up to 100W of PoE (Power over Ethernet), making it suitable for powering compatible devices like IP cameras or wireless access points without requiring a separate power adapter.
