Description

StarTech N6LPATCH6BK 6ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6LPATCH6BK is a 6-foot black Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed for high-demand network environments. Its construction supports 10Gbps data transfer speeds and up to 100W of PoE++ power delivery, making it suitable for powering demanding devices like PTZ cameras, wireless access points, or high-performance workstations. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material is critical for installations in plenum spaces or areas with strict fire safety regulations, as it produces minimal smoke and no toxic halogenated compounds when exposed to flame. This cable is ETL Verified and meets ANSI/TIA-568-2.D Category 6 standards, ensuring reliable performance for both data and power transmission.

Compatibility

This N6LPATCH6BK cable is compatible with any network device requiring a standard RJ-45 Ethernet connection, including but not limited to: IP cameras supporting 10Gbps data rates and high PoE power budgets (e.g., advanced PTZ or multi-sensor models), high-density wireless access points, VoIP phones, network switches, servers, and workstations. It is designed to support IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 (PoE++) standards, delivering up to 100W of power over the Ethernet cable, which is essential for devices with higher power requirements than standard PoE or PoE+ can provide. The 250 MHz rating ensures it meets Cat6 specifications for 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) and 10GBASE-T (10 Gigabit Ethernet) up to 55 meters.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 80°C (32°F to 176°F) for both operation and storage. The LSZH jacket is intended for environments where fire safety is paramount, such as plenum-rated ceilings. Ensure the connected devices are rated for IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 (PoE++) to utilize the full 100W power delivery capability. The 24 AWG wire gauge is standard for Cat6 performance, balancing flexibility with conductivity.
