User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed this CAT6 cable supports?
This StarTech CAT6 patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps (10 Gigabit per second). It maintains this speed for distances up to 160 feet, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications including large file transfers, video streaming, and data center connections. The cable also supports lower-speed standards including 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, and 5Gbps for compatibility with various network equipment.
Can this cable deliver power to PoE devices?
Yes, this cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 100W, compliant with IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++) standards. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors minimize power loss and heat generation when delivering power to devices like VoIP phones, security cameras, wireless access points, and lighting systems. UL-rated wiring (E132276-A) ensures safe power delivery for PoE applications.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
Both ends feature RJ-45 network connectors with male gender. The connectors have 50-micron gold plating that resists corrosion and maintains reliable electrical contact. Snagless boots protect the connector latch from accidental disconnection in crowded patch panels while allowing easy finger access for installation and removal.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable with no additional shielding. The 4-pair UTP construction provides adequate performance for most office and commercial environments without requiring grounding. For installations with significant electromagnetic interference, consider shielded cable options, but this UTP design works well in typical networking scenarios.
What certifications does this cable have?
This cable is ETL verified to meet ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 6 standards and features UL-certified wiring (E132276-A). It complies with environmental regulations including RoHS, REACH, and WEEE directives. Each cable undergoes individual testing to ensure it meets performance specifications before shipment, providing confidence in network reliability.
What is the jacket material and rating?
The cable features a green polyvinyl chloride (PVC) jacket with CMG (Communications Multipurpose General) rating. This jacket material provides flexibility for routing through conduits while resisting bending damage and fraying. The CMG rating indicates suitability for commercial building installations where fire safety and cable performance are important considerations.
