1 ft Cat 6 patch cable

The StarTech.com N6PATCH1GN is a 1 ft Cat 6 UTP patch cord with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. It is built for short Gigabit and multi-gigabit Ethernet links in green PVC jacket. The cable uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and supports PoE up to 100W. It suits installers and home users needing a brief, reliable connection between a switch, router or wall plate and a nearby device.

Check connector spacing and cable routing

Verify that a 1 ft length spans the gap between your two RJ-45 ports without tension or sharp bends. Confirm both ports accept standard RJ-45 plugs and that the run stays within indoor general-purpose CMG fire-rating limits. The T568B wiring matches typical patch-panel and device pinouts, so no crossover adapter is needed. Ensure the pathway avoids heat sources or crushing hazards that could damage the PVC jacket over time.

Snagless boots and gold-plated contacts

Snagless moulded boots protect the release tabs during frequent insertions or pulls through cable managers. Gold plating on the contact pins resists oxidation for consistent signal integrity at 250 MHz bandwidth. The stranded 100% copper conductors (UL E132276-A) flex easily for tight rack or desk routing while maintaining Cat 6 performance up to 160 ft. The green colour aids quick visual identification in dense patch fields.

Questions about this item

Does the 1 ft Cat 6 cable come with both RJ-45 connectors already attached, or do I need to buy plugs separately?

Both ends are factory-terminated with RJ-45 male connectors, so the cable is ready to use without any extra parts.

Which wiring standard should I select for a typical home or office patch lead?

The cable follows the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B pinout, the most common choice for straight-through patch cords.

Will this 1 ft patch cord still support 10 Gbps speeds inside a rack?

At 1 ft the run is well within the 160 ft limit for 10 Gbps, and the 500 MHz Cat 6 rating plus 24 AWG copper conductors maintain signal quality.
