StarTech N6PATCH5GN 5ft Green Cat6 Ethernet Cable
Overview
The StarTech N6PATCH5GN is a 5-foot, green Category 6 Ethernet cable designed to support multi-gigabit network speeds, including 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, and up to 10Gbps over shorter distances. Its stranded copper conductors and CMG fire rating make it suitable for in-wall installations in commercial environments, ensuring reliable data transmission for network cameras, access control panels, or other IP-based security devices. The N6PATCH5GN ensures your network infrastructure can handle the bandwidth demands of modern surveillance systems.
Compatibility
This Cat6 cable is compatible with all standard RJ-45 network devices, including 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet switches, routers, network attached storage (NAS) devices, and IP-based surveillance equipment. It supports 100W Power over Ethernet (PoE), making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras or wireless access points directly through the network cable, provided the connected switch or injector supports the necessary PoE standard (e.g., 802.3bt Type 3 or 4 for 100W).
Installation Notes
The cable features 24 AWG stranded copper conductors, which offer flexibility for easier routing in tight spaces compared to solid core cables. The PVC jacket is CMG rated for use in walls and between floors. The cable is wired to the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B standard. For optimal performance at 10Gbps, maintain a maximum cable length of 160 feet (55 meters). Operating and storage temperatures range from -20°C to 80°C.
