Product Features
Technical Overview
These CAT6 patch cables utilize 24 AWG stranded copper conductors with UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) construction, minimizing near-end crosstalk (NEXT) for clear signal integrity. The 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts enhance conductivity and resist corrosion, while the molded strain relief boots add durability against bending and breakage.
The CMG-rated PVC jacket is suitable for general-purpose use in riser applications, and the snagless boot design prevents connector clips from catching on ports or other cables. Each cable is individually tested to meet Category 6 performance standards, supporting bandwidth up to 250 MHz for stable Ethernet, PoE, and Gigabit network connections.
Key Product Advantages
This 10-pack delivers ready-to-deploy CAT6 connectivity with features that enhance network reliability and installation efficiency. The snagless connectors reduce downtime and cable damage, while the blue color-coding simplifies cable management and troubleshooting in dense patch panels or server racks.
Performance Assurance
Each cable is tested to ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 CAT6 standards, ensuring reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance and compliance with industry specifications for network infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the length of each cable in this pack?
Each CAT6 Ethernet cable in the StarTech.com N6PATCH10BL10PK pack is 10 feet long, which is approximately 3.05 meters. This length is suitable for typical patching applications such as connecting devices to wall outlets or linking equipment in server racks without excessive slack.
Are the connectors on both ends the same type?
Yes, both ends of these patch cables feature identical RJ-45 male connectors. Each cable has a standard RJ45 plug on each end, designed for connecting network devices like computers, switches, or routers to Ethernet ports. The connectors are gold-plated for reliable conductivity.
What does 'snagless' mean for these cables?
Snagless refers to the protective boot covering the RJ45 connector clip, which prevents the clip from catching on other cables, ports, or rack components during installation or removal. This design reduces the risk of broken clips and cable damage, making these cables easier to handle in dense network environments.
Is this cable suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, these CAT6 patch cables support Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. The 24 AWG copper conductors and CAT6 rating provide sufficient current capacity and signal integrity for PoE devices such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras, delivering both data and power over a single cable.
What is the warranty for this product?
StarTech.com provides a lifetime limited warranty for the N6PATCH10BL10PK CAT6 Ethernet cable 10-pack. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, offering long-term reliability assurance for business and IT deployments.
Can these cables be used outdoors or in harsh environments?
No, these cables are designed for indoor use. They have a CMG-rated PVC jacket suitable for general-purpose and riser applications but are not rated for outdoor, direct burial, or extreme environmental conditions. For outdoor use, specifically rated cables with additional shielding and jacket protection are recommended.
