StarTech C6PATCH5GR 5ft Gray Cat6 Ethernet Cable
Overview
The StarTech C6PATCH5GR is a 5-foot gray Category 6 Ethernet cable engineered to support multi-gigabit network speeds up to 10Gbps over distances up to 164 feet (55 meters). This cable is critical for environments demanding higher bandwidth than standard Gigabit Ethernet, such as those utilizing 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, or 10Gbps network switches and devices. Its construction ensures reliable data transmission for surveillance systems, IP telephony, and high-speed data networks where performance and stability are paramount.
Compatibility
This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with existing 10/100/1000Base-T networks but is specifically designed to meet the requirements for multi-gigabit Ethernet standards (IEEE 802.3bz). It is suitable for connecting network devices such as IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), managed switches, servers, and workstations that support 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, or 10Gbps speeds. Ensure your network infrastructure, including switches and network interface cards (NICs), supports these multi-gigabit speeds for optimal performance.
Installation Notes
The cable features snagless RJ45 connectors that protect the locking tabs from damage during installation and removal, preventing accidental disconnections. Its 5-foot length is ideal for short-run patch panel connections or connecting devices within a single rack or workstation area, minimizing cable clutter and signal degradation associated with excessively long runs. The gray color aids in cable management and identification within structured cabling systems.
