StarTech.com 6-Inch Cat6 Ethernet Patch Cable - Black Snagless Gigabit Network Connector for High-Performance Short-Distance Applications

StarTech 6in CAT6 Ethernet Cable - Black Snagless Gigabit - 100W PoE UTP 250Mhz Category 6 Patch Cord UL Certified Wiring/TIA

This StarTech.com N6PATCH6INBK 6-inch Cat6 Ethernet patch cable provides reliable Gigabit network connectivity, designed for high-performance Ethernet applications in server rooms, patch panels, and data centers. Its compact length makes it ideal for short-distance connections such as in-rack or across-rack network switch and server setups. The cable's black PVC jacket ensures durability and flexibility, while its snagless RJ45 connectors with molded boots facilitate easy installation and protect the clips during cable runs. This design minimizes the risk of connector damage, maintaining consistent network performance and reducing downtime.

The cable features 24 AWG copper conductors, which support Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) applications up to 100W, making it suitable for VoIP phones, security systems, and other PoE-enabled devices. Its 250 MHz bandwidth rating ensures high-speed data transfer, enabling error-free multi-gigabit connections at speeds of 1, 2.5, and 5 Gbps, with the ability to reach 10 Gbps over shorter distances up to 160 feet. The high-quality 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 connectors guarantee peak conductivity by preventing oxidation and corrosion, ensuring long-term, reliable signal transmission. Each cable is individually tested and compliant with ANSI/TIA-568 standards, providing confidence in its performance and interoperability. Designed for easy installation, the patch cord's short length and flexible construction simplify wiring in constrained spaces. Its UL-certified high-quality construction reduces cable bending and fraying, which helps maintain signal integrity over time. The cable's environmentally friendly PVC jacket also aligns with REACH compliance standards. Backed by StarTech.com’s lifetime warranty, this Cat6 patch cable offers a durable, high-performance solution for demanding network environments, ensuring consistent, error-free data transfer for years to come.
