Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s and is compliant with ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards for guaranteed performance. The cable utilizes four twisted pairs (eight conductors) of unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction, minimizing near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and return loss for stable network connections.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) support extends to PoE++ specifications, complying with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 for up to 90W power delivery. This makes the cable suitable for connecting PoE devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without separate power cables.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the length of this CAT6 Ethernet cable?
This StarTech.com CAT6 Ethernet cable measures 50 feet (15.24 meters) in length. The 50-foot span provides sufficient reach for connecting network devices across typical office environments, between equipment racks in data centers, or from patch panels to workstations in commercial installations.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
Both ends of the cable feature snagless RJ45 male connectors with 50-micron gold plating. The snagless design includes protective boots that prevent the connector latch from catching on other cables or equipment during installation and removal, while the gold plating ensures reliable electrical contact and corrosion resistance for consistent network performance.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this CAT6 cable fully supports Power over Ethernet, including PoE++ specifications compliant with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4. It can deliver up to 90W of power alongside data transmission, making it suitable for connecting PoE devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other networked equipment that requires both power and data through a single cable.
What does LSZH jacket mean and why is it important?
LSZH stands for Low-Smoke Zero Halogen, a type of cable jacket material that produces minimal smoke and no halogen gases when exposed to fire. This is particularly important in enclosed spaces, poorly ventilated areas, or vertical cable runs where toxic fumes could pose health risks. The LSZH jacket also provides flexibility for routing in tight spaces while meeting safety standards for commercial installations.
Is this cable backward compatible with older network standards?
Yes, this CAT6 Ethernet cable is fully backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT5 network equipment. It will work with any device that uses RJ45 connectors, automatically negotiating to the highest speed supported by both connected devices. The cable has been Fluke tested to ensure it meets CAT6 performance specifications while maintaining compatibility with existing network infrastructure.
What warranty comes with this Ethernet cable?
StarTech.com provides a lifetime warranty for this CAT6 Ethernet cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, offering long-term assurance of quality and reliability for professional networking installations. The warranty reflects the durable construction with features like snagless connectors, LSZH jacket, and 28AWG bare copper conductors designed for extended service life.
