Description

StarTech N6LPATCH6INBK 6in LSZH Cat6 Ethernet Cable - Black

Overview

This 6-inch StarTech N6LPATCH6INBK is a short, high-performance Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed for network connections where cable length is critical, such as connecting devices in a server rack or patch panel. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for installations where fire safety regulations are stringent, minimizing hazardous smoke and corrosive byproducts in case of fire. The cable supports 10Gbps data rates and up to 100W of power delivery via IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 PoE, ensuring your network devices receive both data and sufficient power without requiring separate power supplies.

Compatibility

The N6LPATCH6INBK is compatible with all standard RJ-45 network devices, including network switches, routers, servers, workstations, and IP cameras. It is suitable for use with any network infrastructure requiring Cat6 performance, including 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) and 10GBASE-T (10 Gigabit Ethernet) networks. Its support for IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 PoE makes it ideal for powering high-demand devices like high-performance wireless access points, pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) IP cameras, and other PoE++ enabled equipment.

Installation Notes

The cable is wired to the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B standard, ensuring interoperability with most network equipment. The 24 AWG wire gauge and 6 mm cable OD provide a balance of flexibility and durability. Operating and storage temperatures range from 0°C to 80°C, with humidity tolerance from 0%RH to 95%RH. The maximum recommended cable length for optimal performance is 55 meters.
