7 ft Cat6 patch cable

The StarTech.com N6PATCH7OR is a seven-foot orange Cat6 UTP patch cord with RJ45 connectors on both ends. It uses 24 AWG stranded 100 percent copper conductors and a molded snagless boot design. The cable is ETL verified, UL listed and meets ANSI/TIA-568-B and CMG ratings. It is RoHS compliant and rated for Power over Ethernet up to 100W.

Suited for short Gigabit and Multi-Gig runs

This length works well for desk-to-switch or patch-panel connections where a compact orange cable aids colour-coded cable management. It supports 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps speeds up to the 160 ft channel limit. Buyers who need longer horizontal runs, plenum-rated jackets or outdoor-grade UV protection should look at something else.

Stable throughput under continuous load

The 250 MHz bandwidth and verified construction keep 10 Gbps signals reliable during sustained transfers such as large backups or streaming workloads. The stranded conductors and snagless boots resist fatigue from repeated re-seating. PoE delivery remains within the 100W rating without overheating the 24 AWG copper cores.

Questions about this item

What RJ45-equipped devices do I need at each end for this Cat6 cable to work?

Connect any two devices with RJ45 ports — router, switch, PC, NAS, IP camera or PoE access point — and the 24 AWG stranded copper conductors will carry the signal.

Will this 7 ft orange Cat6 patch cord run at Gigabit speeds on my older Cat5e wall jacks and switch ports?

Yes — the cable is backward-compatible, so it will negotiate 1 Gbps over Cat5e components while its 250 MHz bandwidth remains available for future upgrades.

How can I verify the cable is delivering 100 W PoE to my access point after installation?

Check the access point's management interface or status LED for PoE power-draw confirmation; the UL-rated 24 AWG copper conductors support the full 100 W PoE budget.
