FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this CAT6 cable?
This StarTech.com CAT6 patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabits 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 network backups. The cable is tested to comply with ANSI/TIA-568-2.D Category 6 standards for reliable performance.
Does this Ethernet cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable fully supports Power over Ethernet, including PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt) for up to 100W power delivery. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and UL Rated Wiring (E132276-A) ensure efficient power transmission to connected devices like VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points while minimizing cable heating.
What type of connectors does this patch cable have?
Both ends of the cable feature RJ-45 network connectors with male terminations. The connectors have 50-micron gold plating that resists corrosion and maintains reliable electrical contact. The snagless molded boots provide strain relief and prevent the cable from catching on other components in crowded network installations.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, meaning it does not have additional foil or braided shielding around the wire pairs. The UTP construction with minimized near-end crosstalk (NEXT) technology provides effective interference rejection for most office and commercial environments while maintaining flexibility and easier installation compared to shielded alternatives.
