Description

StarTech N6PATCH8OR 8ft Orange Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH8OR is an 8-foot, CMG-rated Cat6 Ethernet cable designed for reliable network connectivity in commercial environments. Its orange jacket simplifies identification in crowded racks or cable runs, while the stranded copper conductors ensure flexibility and durability. This cable supports data rates up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for multi-gigabit networks operating at 1/2.5/5Gbps and 10Gbps, and it is rated for up to 100W of PoE power delivery, ensuring your network devices receive sufficient power without additional cabling.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is compatible with all standard RJ-45 network interfaces, including switches, routers, servers, workstations, and network-attached storage (NAS) devices. It supports 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet), 2.5GBASE-T, 5GBASE-T, and 10GBASE-T Ethernet standards. It is suitable for use with network equipment requiring up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivery.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded 24 AWG copper conductors for flexibility, which is beneficial during installation in tight spaces. The CMG (Communications Multipurpose Grade) rating indicates it meets standards for use within walls and between floors in commercial buildings. Operating and storage temperatures range from -20°C to 80°C ( -4°F to 176°F), with humidity tolerance between 15% and 65% RH (non-condensing).
