Description

StarTech N6PATCH50BK 50ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable Black 100W PoE

Overview

This 50-foot StarTech N6PATCH50BK is a black Category 6 Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable network connectivity in surveillance and data environments. It supports data rates up to 10Gbps over shorter distances and is rated for 100W Power over Ethernet (PoE), making it suitable for powering IP cameras, access control panels, or other network devices without requiring a separate power supply. The stranded copper conductors ensure flexibility and durability for installations where the cable may be moved or bent.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with all network devices utilizing RJ-45 connectors, including IP cameras, NVRs, switches, routers, and workstations. It meets the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard, ensuring interoperability with standard network infrastructure. The 24 AWG stranded copper construction supports 10Gbps speeds up to 160 feet, and 1Gbps/2.5Gbps/5Gbps up to its full 50-foot length. Its 100W PoE support is critical for high-power devices like PTZ cameras or Wi-Fi access points.

Installation Notes

The cable features a CMG rated PVC jacket, suitable for general-purpose in-wall or exposed installations where fire safety is a concern. Operating and storage temperatures range from -20C to 80C (-4F to 176F), with humidity tolerance between 15% and 65%. The stranded 24 AWG copper conductors offer better flexibility than solid core cables, simplifying installation in tight spaces or where frequent movement is expected. The 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide corrosion resistance and a secure connection.
