STARTECH N6PATCH35GR network ethernet cable Cat 6 35 ft 10.67 m Gray

35 ft Cat 6 patch cable

The StarTech.com N6PATCH35GR is a 34.99 ft (10.67 m) unshielded twisted-pair patch cord with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. It uses 24 AWG stranded 100% copper conductors rated for 250 MHz bandwidth. The gray jacket carries a UL rating (E132276-A) and supports Power over Ethernet up to 100 W. Molded strain relief and snag-less boots protect the connectors from damage during routing.

Verify port spacing and cable routing

Confirm that your switch, router, or panel ports have enough clearance for the molded snag-less boots, which are wider than standard plugs. Ensure the 35 ft length reaches between devices without excessive slack that could create pinch points or exceed the 100 m channel limit when combined with other cable runs. The UTP construction means no grounding lug is required, but nearby high-voltage lines should still be avoided to prevent interference.

Replaces shorter or lower-category cords

This cable upgrades from Cat 5e or shorter Cat 6 runs when you need 10 Gbps capability up to 160 ft or PoE+ power delivery over longer distances. The jump is worth it if your existing patch cords limit Multi-Gigabit 2.5/5 Gbps ports or if damaged connectors cause intermittent link errors. It is not for installations requiring shielded cable, outdoor burial, or plenum-rated jackets.
