StarTech N6PATCH50OR 50ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable
Overview
The StarTech N6PATCH50OR is a 50-foot, orange, Category 6 Ethernet cable designed for reliable network connectivity and high-power Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivery. Its 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and CMG-rated PVC jacket ensure durability for general-purpose installations, supporting network speeds up to 10Gbps over shorter distances and up to 100W PoE for powering devices like IP cameras or wireless access points. This cable is suitable for connecting network devices in environments where a longer reach than standard 30-foot cables is required, but the full 328-foot limit of Cat6 is not necessary.
Compatibility
This cable is compatible with any network device utilizing an RJ-45 connector, including standard Ethernet switches, routers, and network interface cards. It supports 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet), 2.5GBASE-T, 5GBASE-T, and 10GBASE-T Ethernet standards. Specifically, it supports 10Gbps speeds up to 160 feet (48.7 meters), making it ideal for connecting devices within a room or across a small office floor. The 100W PoE support is crucial for powering high-demand devices such as PTZ cameras or high-density wireless access points without needing separate power injectors or local power outlets.
Installation Notes
The cable features stranded copper conductors, which offer greater flexibility compared to solid copper, making it easier to route in tight spaces or around corners. The CMG (CM/FT4) fire rating indicates it meets general-purpose cable requirements for use in walls and between floors. The operating and storage temperature range is -20°C to 80°C (-4°F to 176°F), providing resilience in various environmental conditions. The TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard ensures interoperability with standard network infrastructure.
