StarTech N6PATCH8PL 8ft Purple Cat6 Ethernet Cable
Overview
The StarTech N6PATCH8PL is an 8-foot purple Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. It supports multi-gigabit speeds up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for demanding network environments where bandwidth is critical. The CMG-rated PVC jacket ensures safety for general-purpose in-wall or riser installations. This cable is ideal for connecting network devices such as IP cameras, NVRs, switches, and workstations where reliable, high-performance connectivity is required.
Compatibility
This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks, but to achieve its rated 10Gbps speeds, it must be connected to Cat6-compliant ports and devices. It supports 100W PoE (802.3bt Type 3, Class 4), allowing it to power compatible devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without needing a separate power supply. It adheres to the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard, ensuring interoperability with most network infrastructure.
Installation Notes
The cable features stranded copper conductors (24 AWG) for flexibility and ease of routing in tight spaces, while the gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide reliable signal integrity. The operating and storage temperature range is -20°C to 80°C, with a humidity tolerance of 15% to 65%. The CMG rating indicates it is suitable for general-purpose horizontal or riser applications.
