Technical Overview
This Cat6 patch cable utilizes unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction with four pairs of 24 AWG copper wires, ensuring optimal signal clarity and minimal crosstalk. The 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 connectors maintain reliable electrical contact and resist oxidation, which is critical for maintaining network uptime. The cable's 250 MHz rating supports high-bandwidth applications, including 10Gb Ethernet over distances up to 160 feet.
The PoE++ capability allows this cable to deliver up to 100W of power to connected devices such as VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points. UL-certified wiring (E132276-A) and ANSI/T568B wiring standards ensure safety and compatibility with existing network infrastructure. The snagless molded boots provide strain relief and ease of use in tight spaces, reducing the risk of connector damage during frequent connections and disconnections.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this Cat6 cable?
This StarTech Cat6 cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gb/s, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications such as 10Gb Ethernet networks. It is rated for 250 MHz performance and can handle multi-gigabit connections including 1, 2.5, and 5 Gb/s, ensuring compatibility with modern network equipment and future upgrades.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable supports Power over Ethernet up to 100W, compliant with IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++) standards. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and UL-rated wiring (E132276-A) enable efficient power delivery to devices like VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points, reducing cable heating and ensuring reliable operation.
What type of connectors does this Ethernet cable have?
Both ends of the cable feature RJ-45 network connectors with male gender. The connectors are gold-plated with 50-micron thickness to prevent rust and corrosion, ensuring consistent signal quality. The snagless molded boots provide strain relief and make installation easier by preventing the boots from catching on ports or other cables.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This cable uses unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction, meaning it does not have additional shielding layers. The four pairs of twisted copper wires reduce crosstalk and interference, making it suitable for most office and data center environments where electromagnetic interference is minimal. The CMG-rated PVC jacket provides basic protection without the need for full shielding.
What is the warranty on this StarTech patch cable?
StarTech provides a lifetime warranty for this Cat6 patch cable, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product. This warranty ensures long-term reliability and reflects the cable's durable construction, including the high-quality PVC jacket, gold-plated connectors, and compliant wiring standards.
Can this cable be used with older network standards like Cat5e?
Yes, this Cat6 cable is fully backward compatible with Cat5e and earlier Ethernet standards. It can be used to upgrade existing networks without replacing all cabling, providing improved performance while maintaining connectivity with older devices. The cable follows ANSI/T568B wiring standards, ensuring proper pinout alignment with common network equipment.
