Compact Red CAT6 Cable

This StarTech N6PAT3RDS is a 3-foot Unshielded Twisted Pair Ethernet cable with a slim 28 AWG construction and LSZH jacket. Gold-plated RJ45 male connectors on both ends support up to 10 Gbps data rates and 100 W Power over Ethernet. The red enclosure aids quick identification in dense patch panels or rack environments.

Suits Tight Spaces and High-Density Runs

Installers routing cables through crowded cabinets, cable trays or narrow pathways benefit from the 36% slimmer profile that improves airflow and eases cable management. Snagless boots protect the latch during frequent moves. Builders who need longer runs, shielded twisted pair construction or a different jacket rating should evaluate other options.

3-Foot Length Defines Deployment Scope

The fixed 3-foot span limits this cable to short connections such as switch-to-patch-panel links, server-to-top-of-rack patching or desktop drops within the same rack. It cannot bridge equipment across aisles or between distant racks. Verify the required reach before ordering to avoid cable-stretch or the need for joiners.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 3ft length or a longer run?

The 3ft red cable keeps racks tidy and is 36% slimmer than standard Cat6, improving airflow in tight spaces.

What speed does 10Gbps deliver on my switch?

Rated for 10Gbps and 100W PoE, the 28AWG bare copper conductors maintain low crosstalk so compatible ports negotiate full line rate.

Does the RJ45 connector fit every 10GbE port?

Gold-plated snagless RJ45 plugs mate with standard Cat6 jacks; the LSZH jacket meets low-smoke requirements without changing the pinout.
