STARTECH N6PATCH3GR 3 ft Cat6 network ethernet cable Gray

3 ft Cat6 UTP patch cable

This 3-foot Cat6 unshielded twisted-pair cable is built with 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and RJ45 connectors on both ends. It is ETL verified and rated for 250 MHz bandwidth, supporting multi-gigabit speeds up to 10 Gbps. The gray PVC jacket and molded snagless boots protect the connectors during routine patching tasks. It suits installers and home users who need a short, reliable drop for Gigabit or 2.5/5G Ethernet links.

Snagless design for dense patch panels

Molded strain relief and snagless boots prevent latch damage when cables are routed through tight cable managers or switched frequently. The unshielded construction keeps the cable flexible for easy dressing in racks, wall plates or desktop switches. Because it is UTP, it requires no grounding and fits standard keystone jacks and patch panels without additional hardware. The 3-foot length reduces slack in cabinet-to-device runs.

10 Gbps headroom and 100 W PoE

The 250 MHz rating provides headroom for 10 Gbps traffic up to 160 ft, so this short run operates well within its performance envelope. It carries 100 W Power over Ethernet for access points, cameras or VoIP phones without separate power injectors. The 24 AWG stranded copper limits voltage drop over the 3-foot span. It is not suited for outdoor burial, shielded environments or runs that exceed the 160 ft 10 Gbps distance limit.
