Description

StarTech N6PATCH6INPL 6-Inch Purple Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH6INPL is a 6-inch, purple Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network connections. Its short length minimizes cable clutter in dense rack environments, while its 24 AWG stranded copper construction supports multi-gigabit speeds up to 10Gbps over distances up to 160 feet. This cable is ideal for connecting network devices like switches, routers, and servers in data centers, server rooms, or any location requiring reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is compatible with all standard RJ-45 network interfaces, including 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T, and 2.5GBASE-T, 5GBASE-T, and 10GBASE-T Ethernet standards. It functions with any network switch, router, patch panel, or network-enabled device requiring an Ethernet connection, supporting up to 100W of PoE power delivery.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors for flexibility, making it suitable for installations where repeated bending or movement occurs. The CMG (General Purpose) fire rating indicates suitability for use within walls or between floors in commercial buildings. Operating and storage temperatures range from -20°C to 80°C (-4°F to 176°F).
