STARTECH C6PATCH8YL 8 ft Cat6 RJ45 Yellow Molded UTP Network Ethernet Cable

8 ft Cat6 patch cable

This eight-foot yellow Cat6 UTP patch cable connects two RJ45 ports using 24 AWG stranded copper conductors. It is built to the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard and carries an ETL listing with UL-rated wire (E132276-A). The moulded boot design protects the connector latch during routine moves. It suits installers and home users who need a manufactured, standards-compliant link.

500 MHz bandwidth and 100 W PoE headroom

The cable is rated for 500 MHz and supports multi-gigabit speeds of 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps up to 160 ft, giving ample margin at this 8 ft length. It also carries 100 W Power over Ethernet for devices such as wireless access points or cameras. The four-pair UTP construction meets Cat6 performance without the bulk or bend-radius limits of shielded alternatives. Runs exceeding 160 ft will fall outside the rated 10 Gbps envelope.

Moulded strain relief and colour coding

The factory-moulded boots reduce cable fatigue at the connector junction, which helps maintain signal integrity when panels are reopened or patch panels are dressed. The yellow jacket allows quick visual identification in dense racks or floor boxes. No software, drivers or additional hardware are bundled; the product is a passive copper link ready for immediate use. Buyers needing shielded cable, outdoor rating or pre-terminated fibre will not find those features here.
