StarTech.com 10ft CAT6 Ethernet Cable - White Snagless Gigabit - 100W PoE UTP 650MHz Category 6 Patch Cord UL Certified Wiring/TIA

Power your network and PoE devices with reliability using the StarTech.com 10ft CAT6 Ethernet Cable. This white snagless Gigabit patch cord delivers robust performance for modern office networks and media setups. With Category 6 performance up to 650MHz and PoE capacity up to 100W, it's built to handle data and power over a single Ethernet cable.

Key capabilities

• 10 ft length provides flexible routing behind desks, in equipment racks, or along baseboards without excess slack.
• White snagless boot protects the RJ45 connector during installation and reduces cable snagging when pulling through tight spaces.
• Cat6, 650MHz performance supports Gigabit Ethernet (up to 1 Gbps) and improves signal integrity over longer runs compared with Cat5e.
• Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) design for easy terminations, improved flexibility, and cost-effective deployment in typical office environments.
• 100W PoE capable power delivery over the same patch cord to PoE devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and network printers.
• UL Certified and designed to Wiring/TIA standards, ensuring safety, reliability, and interoperability with standard network gear.

What problems does this solve?

For teams consolidating data and power, this patch cord eliminates the need for separate power cables to PoE devices. It provides consistent gigabit speed for video streams, VoIP, and cloud applications while delivering up to 100W of power to PoE-enabled devices, reducing clutter and improving installation efficiency.

Ideal use cases

• Powering PoE IP cameras for surveillance with a clean, single-cable setup.
• Deploying PoE wireless access points in hallways or conference rooms without extra power drops.
• Connecting VoIP phones and network printers that require reliable, high-speed connectivity.
• Data center shelves or office closets where simple, durable patch cords simplify cable management.

Why choose this StarTech cable over generic options?

StarTech’s Cat6 patch cords are built with precise pair winding and connectors that meet or exceed Category 6 specifications, delivering less crosstalk and more consistent performance than lower-grade cables. The snagless boot reduces wear, and UL certification adds peace of mind for safety and compliance in professional environments.

Tips for best results

• Avoid bending the cable tighter than its minimum bend radius to preserve signal integrity—especially under load near jacks and switches.
• Keep PoE devices within the 100W feature range by using compatible PoE switches or midspans; exceeding supported power can cause device or cable issues.
• Label and color-code cables to simplify maintenance and future upgrades in busy network rooms.
