Description

StarTech N6PATCH7PL 7ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH7PL is a 7-foot, purple Cat6 Ethernet cable designed for multi-gigabit network deployments. It supports data rates up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications including surveillance systems, IP telephony, and data centers where reliable, high-speed connectivity is critical. The cable's stranded copper conductors ensure flexibility, while the 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide robust signal integrity. Its CMG fire rating indicates suitability for in-wall and riser applications, offering a safe and dependable solution for structured cabling.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 standards, ensuring broad compatibility with existing network infrastructure. It is designed to support 100W PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications, making it ideal for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without requiring separate power outlets. It supports 1/2.5/5Gbps and 10Gbps data rates, ensuring future-proofing for network upgrades.

Installation Notes

The cable is wired to the T568B standard, which is common in North America. Operating and storage temperatures range from -20°C to 80°C, with humidity tolerance between 15% and 65%. The stranded 24 AWG copper conductors offer flexibility for routing in tight spaces, and the PVC jacket provides durability. The 50-micron gold-plated connectors resist corrosion, ensuring a stable connection over time.
