Seven-foot Cat6 patch cable

The StarTech C6PATCH7WH is a seven-foot Cat6 patch cable with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. It uses 24 AWG stranded 100% copper conductors arranged in four unshielded twisted pairs. The white PVC jacket is CMG rated for general-purpose indoor installation. This cable suits home offices and small-business networks needing reliable Gigabit or Multi-Gigabit links.

Cat6 bandwidth and distance limits

Cat6 cabling supports 10 Gbps speeds up to 160 feet and 250 MHz bandwidth. At this seven-foot length the cable operates well within the distance limit for 10 Gbps, 5 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps and 1 Gbps connections. The TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard ensures broad compatibility with switches, routers and network interface cards. Longer runs beyond 160 feet would require Cat6a or higher to maintain 10 Gbps performance.

100 W PoE capability

The cable is rated for 100 W Power over Ethernet, allowing it to deliver both data and high-wattage power to devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras and VoIP phones. UL listing E132276-A and ETL verification confirm the conductor quality and safety compliance. Installations that do not require PoE or that use lower-power PoE standards will still function normally. Buyers needing shielded cable for high-interference environments should select a different construction.

Questions about this item

Which length should I choose for a short desk-to-router run?

The 7 ft length suits a desk-to-router link without excess slack; longer versions are available if the path is greater.

What real-world speeds will this Cat6 cable deliver at 7 ft?

It supports Multi-Gigabit 1, 2.5 and 5 Gbps plus 10 Gbps up to 160 ft, so the 7 ft run will handle full 10 Gbps throughput.

How does the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard affect compatibility?

The T568B pinout is the common Ethernet wiring scheme, ensuring straight-through compatibility with routers, switches and NICs.
