StarTech 8 ft Cat 6 Ethernet Cable

This eight-foot Category 6 patch cord carries RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. Gold-plated contacts and 24 AWG stranded copper conductors support Power over Ethernet up to 100 watts. The grey PVC jacket is CMG rated for general-purpose indoor runs and meets TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring.

Suits short desktop or rack links needing PoE

The fixed eight-foot length limits use to nearby equipment; installers who need longer horizontal runs or in-wall rated cable should consider other options. The unshielded design makes it less suitable for electrically noisy environments.

500 MHz Cat 6 rating with 10 Gbps up to 160 ft

Verified to 250 MHz bandwidth and 500 MHz cable rating, the cord delivers 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps speeds at distances up to 160 feet. UL file E132276-A confirms the 100 percent copper construction.
