8 ft Cat6 Patch Cable
StarTech.com C6PATCH8BK is an 8-foot Category 6 patch cord built with 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and moulded RJ45 plugs. It supports Multi-Gigabit rates of 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps at up to 250 MHz bandwidth. The black UTP jacket is UL listed under file E132276-A and ETL verified for safety compliance.
Suits Gigabit and Multi-Gigabit links.
This cable fits workstations, switches, routers and NAS units that negotiate 1, 2.5, 5 or 10 Gbps over copper. It carries Power over Ethernet up to 100 W for access points, cameras or VoIP phones. Installations requiring longer runs beyond 160 ft at 10 Gbps or fibre-based backbones should select a different medium.
10 Gbps up to 160 ft at 250 MHz
The decisive specification is the 10 Gbps rating maintained over distances up to 160 ft while operating at 250 MHz. If the network design demands 10 Gbps beyond that distance or a higher frequency class, this cable will not meet the requirement.
