STARTECH N6PATCH1GR 1 ft Gray Cat6 network ethernet cable

Ideal for tight patch-panel runs

The StarTech N6PATCH1GR is a one-foot Cat6 patch cord built for short links between a switch, router or wall jack and a nearby device. Its snagless RJ-45 plugs protect the locking tabs during frequent moves in crowded racks or on busy desks. The cable suits installers and home users who need a neat, low-profile connection without excess slack. Gray PVC jacketing keeps the run visually clean in professional or residential settings.

Passive design runs cool and silent

With no active components the cable generates zero heat and produces no noise, drawing power only from the connected equipment for PoE loads up to 100 W. The 24 AWG stranded 100 % copper conductors are rated to 250 MHz and support multi-gigabit speeds of 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps across distances up to 160 ft. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion, maintaining low resistance over repeated insertions. CMG fire rating meets general-purpose in-wall requirements.

Fits standard RJ-45 ports without adapters

Both ends terminate in male RJ-45 connectors wired to the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B standard, so the cord plugs directly into any Gigabit or multi-gigabit Ethernet port. The one-foot length eliminates cable clutter in dense patch panels, server enclosures or behind workstations, freeing valuable space for airflow and cable management. UTP construction keeps the cable flexible for easy routing around tight corners. No shielding means simpler termination and lighter weight.
