Description

StarTech N6PATCH8RD 8ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech N6PATCH8RD is an 8-foot, red Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network connections. It supports multi-gigabit speeds including 1/2.5/5Gbps and 10Gbps up to 160 feet, making it suitable for demanding network environments such as surveillance systems, data centers, or offices requiring robust connectivity. The cable's stranded copper conductors and 24 AWG wire gauge ensure reliable signal transmission and flexibility for installation.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device featuring an RJ-45 connector, including switches, routers, servers, workstations, and surveillance cameras. It meets TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standards. The cable supports 100W PoE (Power over Ethernet), making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras or wireless access points directly through the network cable without needing a separate power adapter.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors for flexibility and ease of routing in tight spaces. Its PVC jacket is CM-rated for use in-wall or between floors in commercial buildings. The operating and storage temperature range is -20°C to 80°C, and humidity tolerance is 15% to 65% RH.
