Description

StarTech N6PATCH6INWH 6-inch Cat6 Ethernet Patch Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH6INWH is a 6-inch (0.5 ft) Category 6 Ethernet patch cable designed for short-run network connections. Its compact form factor and CMG fire rating make it suitable for installations within walls, conduits, or between network devices in tight spaces, such as server racks or network closets. This cable supports data rates up to 10Gbps and can deliver up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE), ensuring reliable connectivity and power for network devices without signal degradation.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with all standard RJ-45 network devices, including network switches, routers, IP cameras, access points, and servers. It supports TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standards, ensuring interoperability with most commercial and enterprise network infrastructure. Its 24 AWG stranded copper conductors are ideal for short-run applications requiring flexibility and reliable signal transmission for 1/2.5/5Gbps and 10Gbps Ethernet standards.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is constructed from PVC, rated CMG for general-purpose use, allowing for installation within walls or between floors where permitted by local building codes. The operating and storage temperature range is -20°C to 80°C, with humidity tolerance between 15% and 65%. The gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide durable contact and corrosion resistance for consistent signal integrity.
