Ready-to-use Cat6 patch cord

The StarTech N6PATCH20RD is a 20 ft red Cat6 Ethernet cable built for Gigabit networks with PoE support. It uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 connectors on both ends. The PVC jacket carries a CMG fire rating for general-purpose indoor runs. It suits installers who need a certified patch lead for immediate deployment.

Snagless boots and PoE headroom

Snagless moulded boots protect the connector tabs during pulls through cable managers or dense patch panels. Gold plating reduces contact resistance on the 45-position RJ45 interfaces. The cable is rated for 100W PoE, so it can power wireless access points, IP cameras or VoIP phones without a separate injector. Red colour coding helps identify backbone or crossover links at a glance.

Simple press-fit installation

Push each RJ45 plug until the latch clicks; no tools or termination skills are required. The stranded construction stays flexible for tight bends behind racks or under floors. Verify the CMG rating matches local code before running through plenum spaces. Buyers who need shielded cable for high-EMI environments or longer permanent links should select a different construction.

Questions about this item

Will the gold-plated RJ45 contacts need cleaning or replacement over time?

The gold-plated RJ45 contacts resist corrosion and do not require routine cleaning; the snagless boots protect the latch from breakage during repeated insertion cycles.

What is the maximum data rate this 20 ft Cat6 cable can sustain without errors?

The cable is rated for 250 MHz bandwidth and supports Multi-Gigabit speeds of 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps up to 160 ft, so the full 20 ft length runs at the rated speeds.

Does the 24 AWG copper conductor get warm when carrying 100W PoE continuously?

The 100% copper 24 AWG conductors are UL rated (E132276-A) for 100W PoE, so temperature rise stays within safe limits during continuous full-power delivery.
