User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data speed this Cat6 cable supports?
This StarTech.com Cat6 patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps (10 Gigabit per second) for distances up to 160 feet. It maintains backward compatibility with lower-speed standards including 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, and 5Gbps Ethernet, making it suitable for both current high-speed networks and legacy equipment.
Does this Ethernet cable support Power over Ethernet?
Yes, this cable fully supports Power over Ethernet with up to 100W power delivery. It features 24 AWG stranded copper conductors with UL Rated Wiring (E132276-A) that complies with IEEE 802.3bt and DTE power standards. This makes it ideal for powering VoIP phones, security cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE devices without separate power adapters.
What are the connector types on each end of the cable?
Both ends feature standard RJ-45 male connectors with 50-micron gold plating for optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance. The connectors have snagless molded boots that prevent the retention clips from catching during installation while providing strain relief. This design ensures reliable connections in wiring conduits and constrained spaces.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable with no additional shielding. The 4-pair UTP construction with CMG-rated PVC jacket provides sufficient protection for most office and commercial environments while maintaining flexibility. For installations requiring shielded cables in high-interference areas, consider StarTech.com's shielded Cat6 options.
What certifications does this Ethernet cable have?
The cable is ETL verified and UL certified, with Fluke patch cord testing confirming compliance with ANSI/TIA-568-2.D Category 6 specifications. It also meets environmental standards including RoHS, WEEE, and REACH compliance. These certifications ensure the cable meets industry standards for performance, safety, and environmental responsibility.
How does the snagless boot design benefit installation?
The snagless molded boots prevent the RJ45 connector retention clips from catching on other cables, ports, or equipment during installation and removal. This design reduces the risk of damaged connectors and accidental disconnections, particularly in crowded patch panels and wiring conduits. The boots also provide strain relief to protect the cable termination points.
