Description

StarTech C6PATCH8YL 8ft Yellow Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

This 8-foot yellow Cat6 Ethernet cable, model C6PATCH8YL, ensures robust network connectivity for multi-gigabit environments. It's designed to support data rates of 1/2.5/5Gbps and up to 10Gbps over distances up to 55 meters (180 feet), making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications like IP surveillance recording, VMS servers, and high-speed network infrastructure. The yellow jacket aids in visual identification for structured cabling systems.

Compatibility

This cable is ETL Verified to TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standards, ensuring compatibility with standard RJ-45 network devices. It supports multi-gigabit Ethernet speeds, making it ideal for connecting network switches, NVRs, servers, workstations, and IP cameras that require higher throughput than standard Gigabit Ethernet.

Installation Notes

Constructed with 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and a PVC jacket, this cable offers flexibility for routing in racks or conduits. It supports up to 100W 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 supplies.
