Description

StarTech C6PATCH7RD 7ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

This 7-foot, red Cat6 Ethernet cable, model C6PATCH7RD, is engineered for reliable network connectivity in environments demanding high bandwidth. It supports multi-gigabit speeds, including 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, and up to 10Gbps over shorter distances, making it suitable for connecting high-performance network devices such as IP cameras, NVRs, and switches where data integrity is critical. The CMG-rated PVC jacket ensures safety in plenum spaces, while the stranded copper conductors offer flexibility for easier routing.

Compatibility

The C6PATCH7RD cable is compatible with any network device utilizing standard RJ-45 connectors. This includes a wide range of IP surveillance equipment, network-attached storage (NAS) devices, workstations, servers, and network switches that support Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and multi-gigabit standards (2.5GBASE-T, 5GBASE-T, 10GBASE-T). It is ETL Verified to ensure it meets performance standards for Cat6 cabling.

Installation Notes

Featuring stranded 24 AWG copper conductors, this cable provides the flexibility needed for installations in tight spaces or complex cable management systems. The CMG (Communications Multipurpose General) rating indicates it is suitable for use in non-plenum, general-purpose riser applications. The cable supports up to 100W of PoE (Power over Ethernet), allowing you to power compatible devices like IP cameras or wireless access points directly through the network cable, simplifying installation by eliminating the need for separate power supplies.
