Description

StarTech C6PATCH5YL 5ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable Yellow

Overview

This 5-foot yellow StarTech C6PATCH5YL Cat6 Ethernet cable is designed for reliable network connectivity, particularly for devices requiring Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 100W. Its stranded copper conductors and PVC jacket ensure flexibility and durability for installations in server rooms, network closets, or connecting IP surveillance cameras and other PoE-enabled equipment. The 24 AWG wire gauge supports data rates up to 250 MHz, meeting TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standards.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is compatible with all standard RJ45 network devices, including IP cameras, network switches, routers, and NVRs. It is specifically rated for 100W PoE, making it suitable for high-power devices such as PTZ cameras or Wi-Fi access points that draw significant power over the Ethernet connection. The ETL verification ensures it meets safety and performance standards for network infrastructure.

Installation Notes

The stranded copper construction offers better flexibility than solid core cable, simplifying installation in tight spaces or where frequent bending is required. The 50-micron gold-plated connectors provide reliable signal integrity and corrosion resistance. Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive tension or sharp bends that could compromise the conductor integrity.
