StarTech.com, 5 m Cat6 Ethernet Cable, White, U/UTP 4 Unscreened Polyvinyl Chloride Sheath

StarTech's high-performance ethernet cable is packed with everything you need for running secure and speedy connections. The network cable offers 100% copper conductors, gold connectors, and is terminated ready for immediate use.

What's great about StarTech’s cable range is that they have a multitude of options to suit your networking needs. This cable is 5 metres long, allowing you to connect applications at a distance, like an RJ45 wall jack to a network hub in your office. For those routing a pathway for your network via conduits and raceways, this CAT 6 connector is perfect for that extended distance as well. StarTech realise the importance of colour too and have provided an excellent selection to choose from. This ethernet cable is white, which means you can configure and organise your network easily by colour coding.

Prevent the chances of decreased performance through breakages by customising the style to fit your requirements. Choose either a snagless or moulded ethernet cable, whether you want to conceal the connector or protect it. Snagless types minimise the risk of breaking the RJ45 clips during the installing process, while a moulded boot offers strain relief if the cable is bent at an acute angle.

This cat6 features 24 AWG sized copper wires, which allow less resistance when carrying signals. It also produces less heat than other sizes and these two characteristics combined make it a perfect match for its 5m length. Using high-quality 100% copper conductors in this cat6 cable not only mean that it's excellent value for investment, but it also specifically helps to reduce near end cross talk noise (NEXT), which boosts reliability in transferring data. This patch cable supports power over ethernet (PoE), meaning you can provide up to 100W of power to devices like VOIP phone & security systems, and 4k or 1080p video streaming.

Even better is that StarTech use 50-micron thick gold connectors to support the longevity of the cable. By using the thickest gold plating available, the network cable maintains a fast and reliable connection over a longer period of time, withstanding up to x4 as much throughput as a standard metal connector. The RJ45 connectors also eliminated signal loss due to corrosion.

This cat 6 cable houses the wires in a durable white PVC jacket. For peace of mind, StarTech provide a life-time warranty with all their cables.
