What it is

The StarTech N6PATCH1YL is a one-foot Cat6 UTP patch cord with RJ-45 male connectors on each end. Its yellow jacket makes the link easy to spot in a crowded rack or desk. Builders use it for short Gigabit or Multi-Gig uplinks between a switch, router, PC or access point.

Deciding spec

The cable is rated for 250 MHz bandwidth and supports 10 Gbps speeds up to 160 ft, so the one-foot length will run at the full 10 Gbps rate. It uses 24 AWG stranded 100 % copper conductors with a UL rating E132276-A and carries up to 100 W of PoE power.

Build fit

Snagless boots protect the locking tabs during repeated inserts, while the unshielded design keeps the cord flexible for tight patch-panel routing. No shielding means it does not need a grounded rack or drain wire. Buyers who need shielded cable, longer runs beyond 160 ft at 10 Gbps, or a different colour for cable-management coding should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

What does the 250 MHz rating mean when the cable is installed?

The 250 MHz bandwidth supports Multi-Gigabit speeds of 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps over runs up to 160 ft.

What does the RJ-45 connector limit in practice?

Each end uses an RJ-45 male plug, so the link tops out at the 10 Gbps ceiling of the Cat 6 standard.

How much space does the 1 ft length and snagless boot need?

The cord is 1 ft long with snagless boots on both RJ-45 plugs, so allow a few centimetres of clearance at each port.
