Product Features
Technical Overview
These CAT6 patch cables comply with ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 standards, ensuring consistent performance for Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth applications. The 50-micron gold-plated connectors enhance conductivity and reduce signal loss over time.
The UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) construction with 24 AWG stranded wire offers a balance of flexibility and performance. The molded strain relief boots protect the RJ45 termination points from sharp bends and physical damage, extending cable lifespan in active environments.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

FAQ
What is the length of each cable in this 10-pack?
Each cable measures 3 feet (0.91 meters) in length. This makes them ideal for short-distance connections between network devices, such as from a computer to a wall jack or between adjacent equipment in a rack setup.
What type of connectors do these CAT6 cables have?
Both ends feature standard RJ45 male connectors with 50-micron gold plating. The connectors are molded with strain relief boots to prevent damage from bending and frequent insertion/removal cycles.
Are these cables suitable for Gigabit Ethernet networks?
Yes, these CAT6 patch cables support Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network applications. They are tested to comply with ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 CAT6 requirements, ensuring reliable performance for data transfer up to 1 Gbps over short distances.
What does the CMG jacket rating mean?
CMG stands for Communications Multipurpose Cable, General Purpose. This rating indicates the cable jacket is suitable for use in general purpose installations, including plenum spaces where cables might be exposed to air circulation systems.
What is the warranty on these patch cables?
StarTech.com provides a lifetime limited warranty for this product. This covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the cable, offering long-term reliability assurance for business and institutional users.
Can these cables be used for PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications?
Yes, the 24 AWG copper wire construction supports Power over Ethernet applications. The stranded conductors provide flexibility while maintaining the current-carrying capacity needed for PoE devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras.
