Product identity

The StarTech N6PATCH10GR is a 10 ft Cat 6 patch cable built with 24 AWG stranded copper conductors. It is designed for installers and network managers who need reliable Gigabit or Multi-Gigabit links up to 160 ft. The grey PVC jacket carries a UL E132276 rating and supports 100 W Power over Ethernet.

Build integration

Snagless moulded connectors and integral strain relief protect the terminations during repeated patch-panel changes. The unshielded twisted-pair construction keeps the cable flexible for tight cabinet routing while the 250 MHz bandwidth headroom handles 2.5 and 5 Gbps equipment without recabling. No special tools or grounding hardware are required.

Thermals noise power

Passive copper construction generates no heat and adds no acoustic noise to the rack. The 100 W PoE capacity runs within the conductor rating at standard ambient temperatures so no derating is needed. Power draw is limited to the attached devices and the link itself consumes no electricity.

Questions about this item

How far can this 10 ft Cat 6 cable carry 10 Gbps without signal loss?

It supports 10 Gbps up to 160 ft, so the 10 ft length is well within the limit for full speed.

Does the 24 AWG stranded copper construction handle 100 W PoE continuously without overheating?

Yes, the UL rated 24 AWG 100 % copper wire is specified for 100 W PoE and the PVC jacket dissipates heat normally.

What devices or ports must I already have to use this cable at its rated 2.5 or 5 Gbps speeds?

You need network equipment with 2.5 Gbps or 5 Gbps Ethernet ports; the cable itself is backward compatible with 1 Gbps ports.
