StarTech N6PATCH6INBL 6-Inch Cat6 Ethernet Patch Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH6INBL is a 6-inch, blue Category 6 Ethernet patch cable designed for short-run network connections in tight spaces. Its compact length minimizes cable clutter, making it ideal for connecting devices within a single rack or cabinet, or for patch panel to switch connections. This cable supports 250 MHz bandwidth and up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE), ensuring reliable data transmission and power delivery for network devices.

Compatibility

This Cat6 patch cable is compatible with all standard RJ-45 network devices, including network switches, routers, IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), and computers. It adheres to the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard, ensuring interoperability with most network infrastructure. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors provide flexibility and durability for frequent handling.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is CMG rated for general-purpose vertical cable runs, suitable for use in risers. The operating and storage temperature range is -20°C to 80°C, with humidity tolerance between 15% and 65%. The snagless RJ-45 connectors feature gold-plated contacts for optimal signal integrity and corrosion resistance, while the snagless boot design protects the locking tab during installation and removal.
