FAQs

What are the key features of the StarTech.com N6PATCH10RD Cat6 cable?
The StarTech.com N6PATCH10RD features a 10-foot red snagless design with gold-plated connectors, supporting data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s. It's constructed with 24 AWG pure copper wire, includes molded PVC strain relief, and has snagless RJ-45 connectors. The cable is certified for PoE applications and features a durable PVC jacket with bend and fray resistance. It comes with a lifetime warranty and meets all Category 6 specifications.
What devices can this Cat6 cable be used with?
This Cat6 cable is compatible with multiple devices including network devices, workstations, security devices, VoIP devices, hubs, wall outlets, and distribution panels. It's particularly suitable for Gigabit network connections and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. The universal RJ-45 connectors ensure broad compatibility with standard networking equipment.
What makes this cable's connectors special?
The cable features 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors that provide optimal conductivity and prevent signal loss from oxidation or corrosion. The connectors are designed with a snagless boot to prevent damage during installation and include molded strain relief to protect against sharp angle bends. Both ends feature male RJ-45 connectors with protective measures for long-term reliability.
What certifications and standards does this cable meet?
The cable meets multiple certifications including CMG Rating, TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B, ETL Verification, and ANSI/TIA-568-B standards. It's UL Listed and environmentally certified with RoHS, REACH, and WEEE compliance. These certifications ensure the cable meets industry standards for performance, safety, and environmental responsibility.
Why is the pure copper construction important?
The 24 AWG pure copper construction is crucial for reliable performance, especially in PoE applications. Unlike cheaper copper-coated aluminum cables, pure copper ensures proper power delivery, prevents heat buildup, and reduces the risk of equipment damage or fire. The copper construction also provides superior signal transmission and supports the full 10 Gbit/s data transfer rate.
