Black Cat6 patch cable with moulded RJ45 connectors, 100 ft long

STARTECH

STARTECH C6PATCH100BK Cat6 network ethernet cable 100 ft black

SKU CH-9JC7-D684R MPN C6PATCH100BK

A 100 ft black Cat6 patch cable rated for 10 Gbps up to 160 ft with 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and 100 W PoE support

  • TypeConsumer Electronics
  • Cat6
  • Length100 ft
  • ColorBlack
  • FeaturesCable Characteristic:Patch Cable
  • 100 ft length spans long runs between rooms or floors
  • 24 AWG stranded copper conductors carry 10 Gbps up to 160 ft
  • 250 MHz bandwidth supports 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps speeds
  • UL rated E132276-A and ETL verified for safety compliance
  • 100 W PoE capability powers devices through the cable

Network reach for fixed installs

This 100 ft Cat6 patch cord links routers, switches and endpoints across rooms or between floors where Wi‑Fi is unreliable. The 24 AWG stranded 100 % copper conductors keep the signal clean over the full run and the black jacket blends into office or home environments. It is built for permanent or semi‑permanent pathways rather than frequent re‑patching.

Speed headroom and power delivery

Rated at 250 MHz the cable supports Multi‑Gigabit rates of 1, 2.5 and 5 Gbps and reaches 10 Gbps up to 160 ft so a 100 ft run has ample margin for current and near‑future LAN speeds. The UL‑listed construction (E132276‑A) also carries 100 W PoE, letting you power access points, cameras or VoIP phones without a separate supply.

Upgrade from older Category 5e links

Replacing a Cat5e patch cord with this Cat6 cable removes the 1 Gbps bottleneck and adds the headroom needed for 2.5 Gbps or 5 Gbps switches and NAS gear. The jump is worth it when you are deploying Multi‑Gigabit hardware or running PoE devices that demand the higher power budget. It is not suited for buyers who need a shorter, more flexible cable for desk‑top patching.

Questions about this item

Will the 100 ft Cat6 cable run at 2.5 Gbps with my older Cat5e patch panel?

Yes, the cable supports 2.5 Gbps up to 160 ft and is backward compatible with Cat5e panels, so the link will negotiate the highest speed both ends support.

How can I verify the 250 MHz cable is performing to spec after installation?

Use a cable certifier or a network tester that measures insertion loss and crosstalk up to 250 MHz; a pass confirms the 24 AWG stranded copper meets Cat6 performance.

Does the box include the 100 ft black patch cord only, or are RJ45 couplers and a crimp tool also supplied?

Only the 100 ft black molded RJ45 UTP patch cord is included; couplers, keystones or a crimp tool must be purchased separately.
