StarTech N6PATCH5GR 5ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable
Overview
The StarTech N6PATCH5GR is a 5-foot (1.5m) gray Category 6 Ethernet cable designed for reliable network connections in surveillance, IT, and automation deployments. It ensures data integrity for devices requiring up to 10Gbps speeds over short runs, supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 100W. The stranded copper conductors and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors minimize signal loss and ensure consistent connectivity for network cameras, NVRs, switches, and other IP-enabled equipment.
Compatibility
This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks, supporting TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standards. It is suitable for connecting any network device with an RJ-45 port, including IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), managed switches, and workstations. Its 10Gbps capability is effective up to 160 feet (48m), making this 5ft variant ideal for patch panel to switch connections or device-to-wall outlet runs within a rack or small workspace.
Installation Notes
The cable jacket is constructed from CMG-rated PVC, suitable for general-purpose installations where the cable is not run in plenums. The stranded 24 AWG copper conductors offer flexibility for routing in tight spaces. Operating and storage temperatures range from -20°C to 80°C (-4°F to 176°F) with humidity tolerance between 15% and 65% RH (non-condensing).
