Description

StarTech N6PATCH5YL 5ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH5YL is a 5-foot yellow Cat6 Ethernet cable designed to deliver reliable multi-gigabit network speeds and robust Power over Ethernet (PoE) support. It's engineered for deployments requiring high-speed data transfer up to 10Gbps over distances of 160 feet, while also supporting devices that draw up to 100W of PoE power. The CMG-rated PVC jacket ensures safety and durability in commercial installations.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device requiring a standard RJ-45 connector and supporting Cat6 specifications. It is suitable for use with multi-gigabit switches and network interface cards (NICs) capable of 1/2.5/5Gbps and 10Gbps speeds. The 100W PoE support makes it ideal for powering high-demand devices like PTZ cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones that adhere to IEEE 802.3bt standards.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors for flexibility and ease of installation. Its operating temperature range of -20°C to 80°C (-4°F to 176°F) allows for deployment in a variety of environmental conditions. The TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard ensures correct pinout for network connectivity.
