Frequently Asked Questions - N6PATC2MRD StarTech.com

What is the length of the N6PATC2MRD cable?

The N6PATC2MRD is a 2-meter (6.6 feet) Cat6 patch cable, ideal for short-distance connections.

Is this cable snagless?

Yes, it features a snagless design that protects the RJ45 connector clips from damage and prevents snagging during installation.

What is the conductor material?

The cable uses 100% bare copper conductors (24 AWG) for reliable signal transmission and Power over Ethernet (PoE) support.

Does it support Gigabit Ethernet?

Yes, it meets or exceeds Category 6 specifications, supporting Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and higher speeds up to 500 MHz.

What type of connectors does it have?

It has RJ45 male connectors on both ends with 50-micron gold plating for maximum conductivity and corrosion resistance.

What is the warranty period?

The cable is backed by a Lifetime Warranty from StarTech.com, ensuring long-term reliability.

Is the cable suitable for PoE?

Yes, the 24 AWG copper conductors are ideal for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, delivering power and data.

What is the difference between patch cable and crossover cable?

This is a patch cable (straight-through) used to connect devices to hubs, switches, or wall outlets. Crossover cables are used for direct device-to-device connections without a switch.

Does it come in other colors?

This specific model (N6PATC2MRD) is red. StarTech offers a range of colors for color-coding network runs.

Is the cable ETL verified?
