StarTech N6PATCH5BK 5ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable
Overview
The StarTech N6PATCH5BK is a 5-foot black Cat6 Ethernet cable designed to support multi-gigabit speeds up to 10Gbps and deliver up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE). This cable is essential for ensuring stable, high-speed network connectivity in environments that demand reliable data transfer and power delivery to devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones. Its stranded copper conductors and 24 AWG wire gauge provide flexibility and durability for installations where the cable may be moved or routed through tight spaces.
Compatibility
This Cat6 cable is compatible with all standard RJ-45 network devices and infrastructure, including 10/100/1000Base-T networks. It specifically supports higher data rates of 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, and 10Gbps, making it suitable for modern network switches and devices that utilize these speeds. The cable is also rated to deliver up to 100W of PoE power, ensuring compatibility with high-power PoE devices such as PTZ cameras, high-density wireless access points, and other network-powered equipment.
Installation Notes
The cable jacket is constructed from PVC, rated CMG (General Purpose) for safe installation in walls and between floors in commercial buildings. The operating and storage temperature range is -20°C to 80°C, with humidity tolerance between 15% and 65%. The wiring standard follows TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance.
