STARTECH N6PATCH7YL 7 ft Cat6 yellow network ethernet cable

SKU CH-GNRK-J5PCQ MPN N6PATCH7YL

A 7-foot Cat6 patch cable with snagless connectors and 24 AWG copper conductors for Gigabit and Multi-Gigabit speeds

  • Cable category6
  • Product typeNetwork Cable
  • Overall length7 ft (2.13 m)
  • Product colorYellow
  • Key featuresConstructed with top quality components Constructed and test
  • Supports 10 Gbps up to 160 ft with 250 MHz Cat6 rating
  • Snagless RJ45 clips prevent broken tabs during installation
  • Molded strain-relief boots protect connector termination points
  • 24 AWG 100 % copper conductors ensure reliable PoE delivery
  • 50-micron gold contacts maintain peak conductivity over time

Ready for 10Gbps up to 160ft

This 7-foot yellow Cat6 patch cable is built for multi-gigabit networks carrying 1, 2.5, 5 and 10Gbps speeds. It suits home offices, small-business racks or any installer who wants color-coded runs that stay tidy. The stranded 24 AWG copper conductors meet Category 6 specifications for reliable throughput. ETL verification confirms the cable meets the stated performance figures.

Check port spacing and PoE budget

Verify that the RJ45 ports on your switch, router or device accept standard snagless boots without blocking adjacent jacks. The cable supports 100W Power over Ethernet, so confirm your endpoints and midspan gear are rated for that level before relying on full PoE delivery. Ensure the 7-foot reach matches the distance between patch panel and device without excess slack. No special tools are required for termination.

Snagless boots and molded strain relief

Molded snagless clips protect the RJ45 locking tabs during pulls through cable trays or tight conduits, reducing broken connectors that cause intermittent links. The molded boot provides strain relief at the termination point, limiting sharp bends that degrade signal quality over time. A yellow PVC jacket resists abrasion and makes the run easy to identify in dense bundles. Gold-plated 50-micron contacts maintain low-resistance connections.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and is anything else required to use the cable?

The box contains the 7 ft yellow Cat6 patch cable with molded snagless RJ45 connectors on both ends. No extra parts are needed; plug it straight into two Gigabit or Multi-Gigabit ports.

How do I decide between this 7 ft length and other lengths for my run?

Choose this 7 ft cable when the distance between devices is roughly two metres. The spec guarantees 10 Gbps up to 160 ft, so a 7 ft run has ample headroom for 1, 2.5, 5 or 10 Gbps links.

What does the 250 MHz rating mean for actual throughput on my network?

The 250 MHz bandwidth supports 10 Gbps Ethernet up to 160 ft, so at 7 ft you can run 1, 2.5, 5 or 10 Gbps and 100 W PoE without hitting the cable’s frequency limit.
