Link your Ethernet devices with this high-performance Cat6 cable from StarTech.com. It consists of eight copper cores twisted in four pairs to cancel out electromagnetic interference (EMI) for reduced near-end crosstalk (NEXT). It's used to connect devices such as switches and routers for high data-transfer rates of up to 10Gbps (gigabits per second). It's also suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications as it provides up to 100W of power to compatible devices.

Superior durabilityThe cable's PVC (polyvinyl chloride) sheath is resistant to impact and wear and features a moulded strain relief to prevent damage caused by excessive bending.
Long reachThe 7m length lets you connect devices across large spaces, such as classrooms or office environments.

• Backwards compatible with Cat5, Cat5e and Cat3 standards for versatility
• Gold plating prevents rust and ensures reliable conductivity for long-lasting performance
• Orange colour for ease of identification in colour-coded set-ups

RJ45 connector clip protectors
Carefully constructed and tested, to keep Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) well within acceptable limits
coloured hoods for departmental colour coding
Molded strain relief prevents the cable from being bent at sharp angles at the RJ45 connector, to minimize the stress at the plug termination point
Constructed with top quality components
High quality 24 AWG copper wire
Applications
Connect PoE-enabled devices to 10Gb networks
Connect servers to a Storage Area Network (SAN)
Deliver data, voice and video over 10 Gigabit networks
Connect between computers, hubs, switches, routers, print servers and patch panels

How do I connect this Cat6 cable?The cable comes terminated with two male RJ45 (Registered Jack) connectors. Each end has a connector clip that allows for simple insertion into and removal from a compatible port, making it simple to connect while protecting the ends from snagging.
