6 ft Cat6 Ethernet cable

The StarTech N6PATCH6OR is a 6 ft Cat6 patch cord with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. It is built for gigabit Ethernet links and supports Power over Ethernet up to 100 W. The orange PVC jacket uses a snagless design to protect the locking tabs during routing. This cable suits installers and home users who need a short, reliable copper link.

Snagless connectors and CMG rating

The snagless boots prevent the RJ-45 tabs from catching on other cables when pulled through trunking or tight spaces. Connectors feature gold plating for corrosion resistance and the wiring follows the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B standard. The CMG fire rating allows general-purpose in-wall runs. Installers should verify that the 6 ft length reaches between endpoints without tension.

500 MHz bandwidth for sustained throughput

The cable is rated at 500 MHz and uses 24 AWG stranded 100 % copper conductors to maintain signal integrity over longer runs. It supports multi-gigabit speeds of 2.5 Gbps and 5 Gbps up to 160 ft, with 10 Gbps capability at shorter distances. Continuous PoE loads up to 100 W are handled without overheating the conductors.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the cable is performing to its 500 MHz Cat6 rating after I plug it in?

Use a cable certifier or network tester that reports frequency response up to 500 MHz and confirms T568B pin continuity across all eight conductors.

What comes in the package and is anything else required for a standard RJ-45 connection?

The box contains the single 6 ft orange Cat6 patch cord with gold-plated RJ-45 male connectors on both ends; no additional parts are needed for a typical Ethernet link.

When should I choose this 6 ft orange version instead of a different length or colour?

Select this 6 ft orange cable when the run between devices is roughly six feet and you want colour-coded identification alongside other patch cords.
