StarTech 12ft Cat6 Patch Cable
This twelve-foot black Cat6 patch cable provides reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with Power over Ethernet support. It is suited for standard network links such as connecting a wall jack to a laptop docking station or desktop computer. The CMG fire rating makes it appropriate for general-purpose indoor installations.
Snagless RJ45 Connectors with Gold Plating
Snagless connector boots protect the RJ45 locking tabs from catching or breaking during cable pulls. Molded strain-relief boots prevent sharp bends at the termination points, reducing the risk of damage that can degrade network performance. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion for consistent signal integrity.
Four-Pair 100% Copper Construction
The cable uses four twisted pairs of solid copper conductors to meet Cat6 specifications for Gigabit speeds and PoE power delivery. It handles typical workstation and patch-panel runs up to its twelve-foot length without signal loss. It is not intended for outdoor burial, plenum spaces or extended runs beyond the Cat6 channel limit.

Questions about this item
How often will the snagless RJ45 connectors or the PVC jacket need replacement under normal use?
The snagless RJ45 clips and molded boots are designed to prevent breakage during installation and reduce strain at the termination points, so they typically do not require scheduled replacement.
What length limit applies when running this Cat6 cable at Gigabit speeds with PoE?
This cable is 12 ft long, well within the 100 m maximum channel length for Cat6 Gigabit Ethernet, so the installed length is not the limiting factor.
Does the cable generate noticeable heat or draw extra power when carrying PoE all day?
As a passive 100 % copper Cat6 patch cable, it adds no active heat or power draw; any warmth comes only from the PoE current passing through the conductors.
