Purpose-built patch cable

The StarTech.com N6LPATCH3BK is a three-foot Category 6 Ethernet cord with RJ45 connectors on both ends. It targets installers and home users who need a short, standards-compliant link for switches, routers or wall outlets.

Fire-safety jacket and power delivery

A low-smoke zero-halogen EVA sheath replaces traditional PVC, reducing toxic emissions in a fire. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors carry 100 W PoE++ while supporting 10 GbE multi-gigabit rates up to 55 metres.

Verified build quality

ETL verification and 50-micron gold-plated pins confirm consistent electrical performance. Snagless boots with strain relief protect the latch during repeated insertion, and ANSI/TIA-568-B wiring ensures broad equipment compatibility.

Questions about this item

How do I install the RJ45 connectors on this 3 ft Cat6 cable without damaging the snagless strain relief?

Align each RJ45 plug with the port, push straight in until the tab clicks, and route the 90 cm LSZH jacket so the moulded strain relief is not bent sharply; the snagless boot protects the 24 AWG stranded copper pairs during insertion.

When will the 50-micron gold-plated pins on this patch cord need replacement under normal office use?

The 50-micron gold plating on the RJ45 contacts is rated for the life of the cable; replace only if the connector tab breaks, the jacket shows cuts, or PoE++ negotiation fails after 100 W loads.

What is the first performance limit reached when running 10 Gbps PoE++ continuously through this 3 ft cable?

At 650 MHz bandwidth and 24 AWG conductors, the 100 W PoE++ current causes conductor heating before the 55 m 10GBASE-T distance limit becomes relevant on this short 3 ft run.
