12 ft Cat 6 Orange Ethernet Cable

The StarTech N6PATCH12OR is a 12-foot Category 6 patch cable terminated with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. It uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors inside a PVC jacket and carries a CMG fire rating for general-purpose indoor runs. Gold-plated contacts and snagless boots help maintain reliable Gigabit and Multi-Gigabit links up to 10 Gbps.

Suits standard Gigabit

This cable supports 100 W Power over Ethernet and meets TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring, making it appropriate for switches, routers, access points and IP cameras in home or office racks. Installers needing shielded pairs for high-EMI environments or plenum-rated jackets for air-handling spaces should select a different cable type.

Unshielded UTP construction rated to 250 MHz

The cable is an unshielded twisted-pair design verified to 250 MHz bandwidth, which determines its suitability for 10 Gbps operation up to 160 ft. If your installation runs near heavy electrical gear or requires foil or braid screening, this UTP cable will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 12 ft orange Cat 6 cable or a different length for my run?

Choose the 12 ft length when the distance between devices is close to twelve feet; it avoids excess slack while still reaching.

What does the 500 MHz rating mean for actual throughput in my PC?

The 500 MHz bandwidth supports 10 Gbps speeds up to 160 ft, so a 12 ft run will handle multi-gigabit and 10 Gbps links without bottleneck.

Does the RJ-45 T568B wiring limit which switches or routers I can plug into?

No, T568B is the common straight-through standard; the gold-plated RJ-45 plugs work with any Gigabit or multi-gigabit port.
