FAQs

What are the key features of the StarTech.com C6PATCH100OR Cat6 cable?
The StarTech.com C6PATCH100OR features a 100ft orange Cat6 UTP cable with ETL verification, supporting Gigabit Ethernet connections. It includes 50-micron gold-plated connectors, 24 AWG pure copper wire, molded PVC strain relief, and PoE support. The cable is capable of 10 Gbit/s data transfer rates and comes with a durable PVC jacket. It's also environmentally certified (REACH, WEEE, RoHS compliant) and backed by a lifetime warranty.
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this Cat6 cable?
This Cat6 cable supports data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabits per second), making it ideal for Gigabit network connections. This high-speed capability ensures reliable performance for demanding network applications, including data centers, server rooms, and high-bandwidth workstations.
Is this cable suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, the C6PATCH100OR is specifically designed for PoE applications. It features 24 AWG pure copper wire construction, which ensures proper power delivery and heat dissipation for PoE devices. Unlike copper-coated aluminum cables, this pure copper construction prevents issues such as insufficient power delivery, heat buildup, and potential equipment damage.
What type of connectors does the cable use and how are they protected?
The cable features RJ-45 male connectors on both ends with 50-micron gold plating for optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance. Each connector includes molded PVC strain relief to prevent sharp angle bending at termination points, reducing the risk of cable damage and maintaining network performance. The gold plating helps eliminate signal loss due to oxidation or corrosion.
What is the length and color of this cable?
This is a 100-foot (100ft) cable with an orange PVC jacket. The orange color allows for easy network cable identification and color coding in complex installations. The length makes it suitable for longer cable runs between network devices across rooms or throughout an office space.
