Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable operates at 250 MHz and uses 4-pair UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) construction with 24 AWG stranded copper wiring. It supports Multi-Gigabit Ethernet speeds including 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 Gbps, with backward compatibility to CAT5e and earlier standards. The cable features UL certified wiring (E132276-A) and complies with IEEE 802.3bt for PoE applications up to 100W.
The RJ45 connectors have gold plating to prevent oxidation and maintain signal integrity. The CMG-rated PVC jacket meets plenum requirements for safe installation in air handling spaces. Environmental compliance includes RoHS, REACH, and WEEE directives, making it suitable for environmentally conscious deployments.
Key Product Advantages

FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this CAT6 cable?
This cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps at distances up to 160 feet. It is also compatible with Multi-Gigabit Ethernet speeds including 1, 2.5, and 5 Gbps, making it suitable for both current network infrastructure and future upgrades.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable supports up to 100W Power over Ethernet (PoE) and complies with IEEE 802.3bt standards. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and UL rated wiring ensure safe power delivery to devices like VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
Both ends feature RJ-45 male connectors with 50-micron gold plating to prevent corrosion and maintain signal integrity. The connectors have snagless molded boots that protect against accidental disconnection and make installation easier in tight spaces.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable with no additional shielding. The 4-pair UTP construction provides reliable performance for most office and data center environments without the need for grounding that shielded cables require.
What is the jacket rating and material?
The cable has a CMG-rated jacket made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). This rating indicates suitability for installation in plenum spaces (air handling areas), while the PVC material provides durability against bending, fraying, and environmental damage.
What warranty comes with this Ethernet cable?
StarTech provides a lifetime limited warranty for this cable, covering defects in materials and workmanship. The cable is individually tested to comply with ANSI/TIA-568-2.D Category 6 specifications, ensuring consistent performance and reliability.
