Description

StarTech C6PATCH6YL 6ft Yellow Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech C6PATCH6YL is a 6-foot, yellow Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network connections. It ensures reliable data transmission for multi-gigabit speeds, including 1/2.5/5Gbps and up to 10Gbps over shorter distances. This cable is suitable for connecting network devices in environments requiring clear cable identification, such as surveillance systems or structured cabling deployments where color-coding is critical for organization and troubleshooting.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks, supporting data rates up to 10Gbps for distances up to 160 feet (55 meters). It is compatible with all RJ-45 networking equipment, including switches, routers, network attached storage (NAS) devices, IP cameras, and workstations. The T568B wiring standard ensures broad interoperability with standard network infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Features stranded copper conductors for flexibility and 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for enhanced durability and conductivity. The PVC jacket provides a balance of flexibility and protection. Supports up to 100W Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, making it suitable for powering network devices directly over the Ethernet cable without the need for separate power supplies.
