Description

StarTech C6PATCH5RD 5ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech C6PATCH5RD is a 5-foot, red Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable network connectivity in demanding environments. It supports multi-gigabit speeds up to 10Gbps for distances up to 160 feet, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications like surveillance systems, data centers, and office networks. The cable also supports up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying installations by eliminating the need for separate power supplies for PoE-enabled devices.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with all networking equipment featuring RJ-45 connectors, including network switches, routers, IP cameras, NVRs, and workstations. It meets Cat6 standards, ensuring performance for 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) and backward compatibility with 10/100 Mbps networks. Its 10Gbps capability extends to 160 feet, supporting higher speed requirements for devices like multi-gigabit surveillance cameras or high-performance network attached storage (NAS).

Installation Notes

Constructed with 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and a PVC jacket, this cable offers flexibility and durability. The ETL verification and UL rating ensure it meets safety and performance standards for network cabling. The 100W PoE support means it can power devices like high-density wireless access points or PTZ IP cameras directly through the Ethernet connection, provided the network switch or injector supports the required PoE standard (e.g., 802.3bt Type 3 or 4).
