What this cable does

The StarTech N6PATCH5GN is a 5 ft Cat6 UTP patch cord with RJ45 connectors on both ends. Green hoods support departmental color coding in structured cabling jobs. Snagless clip protectors stop the locking tab from catching during dense panel work. It is built for installers who need a short, verified drop cable.

What to verify before ordering

Confirm the 5 ft length reaches between your patch panel and switch without tension. Check that RJ45 ports on both devices accept standard 8P8C plugs. Ensure the pathway can accommodate the molded strain-relief boots without sharp bends. The cable uses 24 AWG stranded copper rated for 100 W PoE.

How it holds up under load

ETL verification and 250 MHz testing keep Near End Crosstalk within Cat6 limits during sustained Multi-Gigabit traffic at 1/2.5/5/10 Gbps. Molded strain relief prevents fatigue at the plug termination when the cord is routed through trays. Stranded 100 % copper conductors maintain signal integrity over the full 160 ft channel distance.

Questions about this item

Does the cable arrive ready to use or do I need separate RJ45 connectors?

The cable has RJ45 connectors on both ends with molded strain relief and clip protectors already fitted, so it works straight from the box.

Should I choose the 5 ft green version or a different length or colour for my rack?

This model is the 5 ft green Cat6 patch cable; other lengths or colours would be different part numbers.

What does the 250 MHz rating mean when the cable is plugged into a 10 Gbps switch?

The 250 MHz bandwidth supports 10 Gbps up to 160 ft, so at 5 ft you have full headroom for 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps links.
