StarTech N6PATCH8BL 8ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable
Overview
The StarTech N6PATCH8BL is an 8-foot blue Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable network connectivity in demanding environments. It supports data rates up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications like IP surveillance systems, network-attached storage (NAS), and high-speed data transfer. The CMG rating indicates it's suitable for general-purpose in-wall installations, providing a safer option for structured cabling within commercial buildings. This cable ensures your network infrastructure can handle modern data demands without introducing bottlenecks.
Compatibility
This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Fast Ethernet (100Mbps) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mbps) networks. It connects standard RJ-45 network devices, including IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), switches, routers, servers, and workstations. It is compliant with TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standards, ensuring interoperability with most network equipment.
Installation Notes
The cable features stranded copper conductors for flexibility and ease of routing, with a 24 AWG wire gauge. The operating temperature range is -20°C to 80°C (-4°F to 176°F), and it supports humidity levels from 15% to 65%. The gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide corrosion resistance and ensure a solid electrical connection. This 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 adapters.
