Description

StarTech N6PATCH6INBK 6" Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH6INBK is a 6-inch black Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed for short-run, high-performance network connections. Its compact form factor is ideal for reducing cable clutter in server racks, network closets, or directly connecting devices like network switches to routers, or cameras to network infrastructure. This cable supports multi-gigabit speeds up to 10Gbps and is rated for up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE+), ensuring reliable data and power delivery for demanding network equipment.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is compatible with all standard RJ-45 network interfaces and supports speeds up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for connecting devices such as:

  • Network switches (e.g., 24-port or 48-port managed switches)
  • Routers and firewalls
  • Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices
  • IP cameras requiring high bandwidth or PoE+
  • Workstations and servers
  • Any network device utilizing Cat6 or higher cabling standards.

It adheres to the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors (24 AWG) for flexibility and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for optimal signal integrity. The PVC jacket is CMG rated for in-wall use, and the cable operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 80°C.
