StarTech.com 3ft White Cat6 UTP Patch Cable 250MHz 24AWG 100W PoE

Professional network patch cord

This three-foot Cat6 UTP patch cable is built with 100-per-cent copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 contacts to deliver error-free Multi-Gigabit links at 250 MHz bandwidth. ETL verification confirms compliance with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D, and the UL-rated 24 AWG wiring supports up to 100 W Power over Ethernet for VoIP phones and security devices. White PVC jacket resists bending and fraying in dense rack or wall-plate installations. Lifetime warranty underscores long-term reliability.

Installers who need certified PoE runs

Technicians terminating high-density patch panels or running short horizontal links will appreciate the molded strain relief and snagless boot option that eases conduit pulls. The cable is backward compatible with Cat5e infrastructure, so existing plant upgrades stay simple. Buyers who require longer backbone distances beyond 160 feet at 10 Gbps or shielded construction for noisy industrial environments should evaluate higher-category or FTP alternatives instead.

Molded strain relief and gold contacts

The factory-molded boot protects the termination point from lateral stress that can crack solder joints in high-vibration racks. Fifty-micron gold plating on each contact prevents oxidation that would otherwise increase resistance and cause intermittent link drops over time. Together these features reduce costly network downtime and eliminate the need for field re-termination after moves or adds. No additional software or licensing is bundled with this passive copper assembly.
