Description

StarTech C6PATCH8BK 8ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

This 8-foot black Cat6 patch cable, model C6PATCH8BK, provides a reliable connection for multi-gigabit networks. It supports data rates up to 10Gbps over distances up to 160 feet, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications in server rooms, network closets, or connecting high-performance workstations. The 24 AWG stranded copper construction ensures flexibility and durability for frequent handling or routing in tight spaces.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device requiring a standard RJ-45 Ethernet connection, including network switches, routers, servers, IP cameras, and workstations. It supports multi-gigabit speeds (1/2.5/5Gbps and 10Gbps) and is backward compatible with Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mbps) and Fast Ethernet (100Mbps) networks. It adheres to the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard.

Installation Notes

The CMG-rated PVC jacket provides a fire-resistant rating suitable for in-wall or riser applications where code permits. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors offer better flexibility than solid core cables, simplifying installation in conduits or crowded racks. The 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure a corrosion-resistant, high-integrity connection, critical for maintaining signal quality at higher data rates.
