Description

StarTech N6PATCH7BK 7ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

This 7-foot black Cat6 Ethernet cable, model N6PATCH7BK, provides a reliable connection for multi-gigabit networks up to 10Gbps. Its stranded copper conductor construction ensures flexibility and durability, making it suitable for patch panel connections or direct device links in environments requiring high-speed data transfer. The CMG rating indicates it's suitable for use within walls and between floors in commercial buildings, supporting critical infrastructure like surveillance systems and network-attached storage.

Compatibility

Designed for standard RJ-45 network interfaces, this cable is compatible with all network devices supporting Cat6 standards, including 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet and multi-gigabit speeds of 1/2.5/5Gbps and 10Gbps. It supports up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE), making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without requiring separate power adapters. It adheres to the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within an ambient temperature range of -20°C to 80°C (-4°F to 176°F) and can be stored within the same range. It is designed for use in environments with humidity levels between 15% and 65% (non-condensing). The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors offer good flexibility for routing in tight spaces, while the CMG fire rating ensures compliance with building codes for in-wall installations.
