Frequently Asked Questions - N6PATC3MGR StarTech.com

Is this cable compatible with Cat5e or Cat6a networks?

Yes, Cat6 cables are backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks, and they can be used in Cat6a installations, though they will only support Cat6 speeds (up to 1 Gbps at 100m).

Can I use this cable for Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

Yes, the 24 AWG copper conductors allow this cable to support Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices such as IP cameras and wireless access points.

What is the maximum data speed supported?

This Cat6 cable supports Gigabit Ethernet (up to 1 Gbps) at distances up to 100 meters. It also supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet over shorter distances (up to 55m).

Does the snagless design affect connection reliability?

No, the snagless boot protects the RJ45 clip from breakage without interfering with the connection. It also helps prevent the cable from snagging during installation.

Is this cable shielded?

No, this is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, suitable for general-purpose data center and office environments where EMI is minimal.

How do I clean the cable?

Wipe the cable with a dry cloth. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners as they may damage the PVC jacket or connectors.

What is the warranty coverage?

StarTech.com offers a Lifetime Warranty on this cable, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.

Can I use this cable outdoors?

No, this cable is CMG rated for indoor general-purpose use only. For outdoor installation, use a cable with UV-resistant jacket and water-blocking.

Does the cable come with any certification?

Yes, it is ETL Verified and complies with RoHS standards, ensuring both performance and environmental safety.

Why is the cable made of 100% copper?

100% copper provides superior conductivity and signal integrity compared to copper-clad aluminum (CCA), ensuring reliable network performance and PoE support.
