STARTECH C6PATCH6GR network ethernet cable 6 ft 1.83 m Cat 6 gray

6 ft Cat 6 Ethernet Cable

This 1.83 m gray patch cord uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and RJ45 male connectors on each end. It is rated for 500 MHz bandwidth and supports data rates up to 10 Gbps over distances up to 160 ft. The cable is ETL verified and carries a UL rating E132276-A for safety compliance.

Who Should Use This Cable

It suits installers needing Power over Ethernet capability up to 100 W and multi-gigabit speeds of 2.5 or 5 Gbps in home or office runs. Buyers who require shielded construction for noisy environments or plenum-rated jackets for air-handling spaces should look at a different product type.

Decisive Specification — 500 MHz Cat 6 Rating

The 500 MHz Category 6 rating determines whether this cable meets the bandwidth demand of 10 Gbps links up to the rated distance. If the installation calls for higher frequencies such as Cat 6a or Cat 7 specifications, this part will not satisfy that requirement.
