Frequently Asked Questions - N6PATC10MYL StarTech.com

What devices are compatible with this StarTech.com Cat6 cable?

This cable is compatible with any device equipped with an RJ45 Ethernet port, such as computers, routers, switches, gaming consoles, and more.

Is this cable suitable for Gigabit Ethernet?

Yes, the N6PATC10MYL supports up to 1 Gbps data transfer rates, making it ideal for Gigabit Ethernet networks.

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

Yes, this cable supports PoE and PoE+ applications, delivering both data and power to devices like IP cameras and access points.

What is the maximum length for a Cat6 cable?

The maximum length for a Cat6 cable without signal degradation is 100 meters (328 feet). This 10 ft cable is well within that limit.

Is this cable shielded or unshielded?

This cable is U/UTP (unshielded), suitable for typical home and office environments with minimal electromagnetic interference.

Does the snagless boot prevent connector damage?

Yes, the snagless molded boot protects the RJ45 tab from breaking during installation or removal, ensuring long-lasting performance.

What is the difference between Cat5e and Cat6?

Cat6 offers higher bandwidth (250 MHz vs 100 MHz) and better performance at 1 Gbps over longer distances, though both support Gigabit Ethernet.

Can I use this cable outdoors?

This cable is designed for indoor use only. For outdoor installations, use a rated outdoor cable to avoid damage from moisture and UV.

Is this cable backward compatible with Cat5 or Cat5e equipment?

Yes, Cat6 cables are fully backward compatible with Cat5 and Cat5e devices, though speeds will be limited by the slower standard.

What should I do if the cable stops working?

First, check connections and try a different port. If the cable is faulty, contact StarTech.com support for lifetime warranty service.

Cat6 Patch Cable with Snagless RJ45 Connectors - 10 m, Yellow

StarTech ID: N6PATC10MYL

Close-up of two yellow Ethernet cable connectors (no text or symbols visible)

This 10-meter Cat6 cable meets or exceeds all Category 6 cable specifications to ensure reliable Gigabit network connections. Plus, the cable features a durable yellow PVC jacket that enables you to color code your network cable runs as needed.

Snagless RJ45 clips help protect your network connections

For easier cable runs, the snagless connectors protect the cable's RJ45 clips during installation, making them less likely to snag or break. This ensures a sturdy connection by preventing the cable from becoming loose from the port.

The cable features moulded boots that offer connector strain relief, by stopping the RJ45 connector termination points from bending at sharp angles, and reducing the risk of damage to the cable, which could decrease network performance.

100% copper for outstanding value

Get the highest value for your cable investment with our Cat 6 cables, each one manufactured using high-quality copper conductors.

24-gauge wire for high-performance network connection

Ensure high-performance capability for your demanding Ethernet applications, such as Power-over-Ethernet, using cables that include 24 AWG copper.

50-micron gold connectors provide peak conductivity

Rely on our RJ45 connectors to deliver optimum conductivity while eliminating signal loss due to oxidation or corrosion.

The N6PATC10MYL is backed by StarTech.com's lifetime warranty for guaranteed reliability.
