Product identity

The StarTech.com N6PATCH30BK is a 30 ft Cat6 patch cable built for Gigabit Ethernet links with Power over Ethernet support. It suits installers and home users who need a reliable copper connection between switches, routers and endpoints.

Capacity and headroom

Rated at 500 MHz and tested to 250 MHz, the 24 AWG stranded copper conductors carry 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps speeds up to 160 ft. The cable meets TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring and supports 100 W PoE for powered devices.

Thermals noise and power

The PVC jacket and unshielded twisted-pair construction produce no active heat or noise; power draw is limited to the PoE load delivered to the connected device. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts and snagless boots maintain low-resistance connections through repeated mating cycles.

Questions about this item

Will the 30 ft Cat6 cable reach my router and still support 2.5 Gbps on my older switch?

The 30 ft length stays well within the 160 ft limit for 2.5 Gbps and 5 Gbps, so your existing switch will run at those speeds.

How can I confirm the link is running at 5 Gbps after I plug it in?

Check the port LEDs on your router or switch; they typically show amber or green for Multi-Gigabit rates, and your OS network status will report 5 Gbps.

Does the box include any mounting clips or do I buy them separately?

Only the snagless RJ45 patch cord is included; clips, ties or wall plates are sold separately.
