8 ft Green Cat6 Patch Cable

The StarTech N6PATCH8GN is an 8 ft Category 6 UTP patch cord built for standard gigabit and multi-gigabit Ethernet links. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors and a snagless boot protect the latch during repeated insertions. Stranded 24 AWG copper conductors keep the cable flexible for desk or rack routing. The green PVC jacket is CMG rated for general-purpose indoor runs.

Home offices and small-business networks

This cable suits workstations, docking stations and desktop switches that need a short, colour-coded link up to 10 Gbps over 160 ft. Installers who require shielded construction, plenum fire rating or lengths beyond 8 ft should select a different cable type. The unshielded design also makes it less ideal for electrically noisy industrial environments.

250 MHz bandwidth and 24 AWG stranded copper

The 250 MHz rated bandwidth supports 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps speeds within the 160 ft channel limit. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion while the snagless moulded boot adds strain relief. UL listed E132276 wiring meets TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B standards and carries 100 W PoE for powered devices.

Questions about this item

What devices need RJ-45 ports to use this Cat6 cable?

Any network device, workstation, docking station or desktop computer with an RJ-45 jack will connect directly to the gold-plated connectors on this 8 ft patch cord.

Will this 250 MHz Cat6 cable slow down a 1 Gbps switch I already own?

The cable supports up to 10 Gbps over 160 ft, so it will run at the full 1 Gbps speed of your existing switch without creating a bottleneck.

How can I confirm the cable is delivering multi-gigabit performance after I plug it in?

Check the link speed reported by your OS or switch management interface; it should show 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps or 10 Gbps when connected to compatible ports.
