STARTECH C6PATCH6RD 6 ft Cat 6 network ethernet cable Red

6 ft Cat 6 patch cable

This 6 ft Cat 6 patch cable uses 24 AWG stranded 100% copper conductors with a molded UTP design. It supports Multi Gigabit speeds of 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps up to 160 ft at 250 MHz. The red jacket provides easy colour coding in dense racks.

Check port speed and PoE needs

Verify that your switch or router ports negotiate the desired Multi Gigabit rate and that the 100 W PoE budget matches your powered devices. Ensure the 6 ft length reaches between endpoints without tension. The UL rated wire (E132276-A) and ETL listing confirm compliance for in-wall or plenum-adjacent runs.

Thermals noise and power draw

Passive copper construction generates no heat and produces zero acoustic noise during operation. The cable carries up to 100 W of PoE power without active cooling or external supply. Stranded conductors maintain flexibility for repeated patching while preserving signal integrity at 250 MHz.
