Description

StarTech N6PAT5RDS 5ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

This 5-foot StarTech N6PAT5RDS is a red, snagless Cat6 Ethernet cable designed for high-demand network deployments. Its 28AWG stranded copper conductors and 100W PoE++ support make it suitable for powering and connecting high-bandwidth devices like IP cameras, access control panels, or wireless access points in environments where cable safety is paramount, thanks to its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket. The N6PAT5RDS ensures reliable data transmission up to 10 Gbps and 250 MHz, minimizing signal degradation and power loss.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device requiring a standard RJ45 Ethernet connection. It is specifically designed to support IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 (PoE++) standards, delivering up to 100W of power. This makes it ideal for powering high-wattage devices such as advanced PTZ cameras, high-density wireless access points, or complex network switches. It adheres to the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard, ensuring interoperability with most network infrastructure.

Installation Notes

The cable features a snagless design, protecting the RJ45 connectors during installation and removal. Its 28 AWG construction offers flexibility while maintaining performance for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet. The LSZH jacket reduces the emission of toxic and corrosive gases when exposed to fire, making it suitable for installation in plenum spaces or areas with strict safety regulations. Operating temperature range is 10C ~ 60C.
