Description

StarTech N6PATCH7RD 7ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH7RD is a 7-foot Category 6 Ethernet patch cable, specifically designed to support multi-gigabit speeds up to 10Gbps over shorter distances. Its red color aids in visual identification for network segmentation or critical link designation. This cable is constructed with stranded copper conductors for flexibility, making it suitable for patch panel to device connections in racks or within structured cabling runs where frequent movement or bending is expected. The 24 AWG wire gauge ensures compliance with Cat6 standards for reliable data transmission up to 250 MHz.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device requiring a standard RJ-45 Ethernet connection, including but not limited to: network switches, routers, servers, workstations, IP cameras, and VoIP phones. It supports data rates of 1/2.5/5Gbps and 10Gbps, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, large file transfers, and demanding surveillance network backbones where Gigabit Ethernet is insufficient. It adheres to the T568B wiring standard, ensuring interoperability with standard network infrastructure.

Installation Notes

The operating temperature range is -20°C to 80°C ( -4°F to 176°F) with a humidity range of 15% to 65% RH. The CMG (Communications Multipurpose, Grade) fire rating indicates suitability for use within walls and between floors in commercial buildings, providing a baseline level of fire safety. The stranded copper conductor offers better flexibility than solid core, but is not intended for permanent in-wall runs where it would not be moved. The 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, critical for maintaining signal integrity over time.
