Description

StarTech N6PATCH8BK 8ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH8BK is an 8-foot, black Cat6 Ethernet cable designed to support multi-gigabit network speeds up to 10Gbps. This cable is suitable for connecting network devices in environments requiring reliable, high-speed data transmission, including surveillance systems, workstations, and network switches. Its stranded copper conductors and CMG fire rating make it a robust choice for in-wall or general-purpose installations. The N6PATCH8BK ensures your network infrastructure can handle demanding bandwidth requirements.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is compatible with all standard RJ-45 network devices, including 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet networks, as well as 1/2.5/5Gbps and 10Gbps Ethernet standards. It is suitable for use with network switches, routers, IP cameras, NVRs, servers, and workstations that utilize standard Ethernet connectivity.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors (24 AWG) for flexibility, making it easier to route in tight spaces. The PVC jacket is CMG rated for general-purpose in-wall installations. Operating and storage temperatures range from -20°C to 80°C (-4°F to 176°F), with humidity tolerance between 15% and 65%. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 100W, ensuring sufficient power delivery for PoE-enabled devices without compromising data integrity.
