STARTECH C6PATCH3GN 3 ft Cat6 Green Molded UTP Patch Cable

SKU CH-DFG2-8KP0S MPN C6PATCH3GN

3 ft Cat6 UTP patch cable with RJ45 connectors supports gigabit and multi-gigabit speeds up to 10 Gbps, 24 AWG stranded copper conductors, and 100 W PoE

  • TypeConsumer Electronics
  • Cat6
  • Connector ARJ45
  • Connector BRJ45
  • Length3 ft.
  • ColorGreen
  • 3 ft length suits short desk runs
  • Cat6 500 MHz rating supports 10 Gbps up to 160 ft
  • 24 AWG 100 % copper conductors enable 100 W PoE
  • Molded RJ45 plugs with strain relief protect the connection
  • TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring ensures broad compatibility

Ready for multi-gigabit and PoE networks

This three-foot Cat 6 patch cable uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors rated to 500 MHz and supports 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps links up to 160 feet. The green molded jacket carries UL and ETL listings and delivers up to 100 W of Power over Ethernet. It is built for installers who need a short, certified drop between a switch and a powered device.

Sustained throughput at 250 MHz bandwidth

The cable meets the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard and maintains its 500 MHz rating across the full run, so multi-gigabit speeds remain stable during continuous PoE loads. Stranded conductors resist fatigue from repeated handling while the molded strain relief protects the RJ45 contacts. Performance stays consistent whether the link carries data, 100 W PoE, or both simultaneously.

Snag-free RJ45 connectors simplify termination

Molded boots slide through cable managers and patch panels without catching on adjacent cords. The fixed T568B pinout eliminates wiring mistakes that cause crossover errors. A common issue occurs when the cable is pulled too tightly around sharp corners, which can deform the 24 AWG pairs and degrade the 500 MHz margin.

Questions about this item

How much heat or power loss should I expect when running this 24 AWG Cat6 cable at 100 W PoE all day?

The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors are rated for 100 W PoE, so normal resistive heating stays within the cable’s UL-listed limits for continuous operation.

What devices must I already own to use this RJ45-to-RJ45 patch cable?

You need two pieces of equipment with standard RJ45 Ethernet ports — such as a switch, router, server, or workstation — to connect with this cable.

Will this 500 MHz Cat6 cable work reliably with my older 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet switch?

Yes, the T568B-wired Cat6 cable is fully backward compatible and will negotiate down to 100 Mbps on legacy Fast Ethernet hardware.
