StarTech N6PATCH5PL 5ft Purple Cat6 Ethernet Cable
Overview
The StarTech N6PATCH5PL is a 5-foot purple Cat6 Ethernet cable designed for high-speed network connections. It supports multi-gigabit speeds up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for demanding network environments where bandwidth is critical. The cable's CMG rating ensures it meets safety standards for general-purpose in-wall installations. Its stranded copper conductors provide flexibility, while gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable signal integrity for your network infrastructure. The N6PATCH5PL is ideal for connecting network devices such as switches, routers, servers, and workstations, especially where color-coding is used for network segmentation or identification.
Compatibility
This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 standards. It supports network speeds of 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, and 10Gbps, making it compatible with a wide range of network equipment including switches, routers, network attached storage (NAS) devices, and computers equipped with Gigabit or Multi-Gigabit Ethernet ports. It is suitable for use with PoE (Power over Ethernet) devices up to 100W, ensuring it can power compatible network devices without requiring a separate power adapter.
Installation Notes
The cable features stranded copper conductors, offering greater flexibility than solid core cables, which is beneficial for installations requiring frequent bending or routing through tight spaces. The operating and storage temperature range is -20°C to 80°C, and it supports a humidity range of 15% to 65%. The TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard ensures compatibility with standard network terminations.
