Description

StarTech C6PATCH6RD 6ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech C6PATCH6RD is a 6-foot, red Category 6 Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable network connectivity in surveillance, IT, and automation deployments. Its construction supports high-speed data transfer and Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 100W, making it suitable for powering IP cameras, wireless access points, or other PoE-enabled devices without requiring a separate power supply. The stranded 24 AWG copper conductors ensure flexibility and durability for installations that may involve frequent bending or movement.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment utilizing RJ-45 connectors, including network switches, routers, servers, and endpoints. It meets the CAT6 standard for 250 MHz performance, ensuring compatibility with Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and faster network speeds. Specifically, it is suitable for powering devices compliant with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 (PoE++) standards, delivering up to 100W of power.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors, offering better flexibility than solid core cables, which is advantageous for patch panel connections or routing through conduits where bending is required. The PVC jacket provides basic protection against abrasion and environmental factors. The 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure a robust and corrosion-resistant connection, critical for maintaining signal integrity over time.
