Connect PoE-powered endpoints and adjacent network equipment with a compact Cat6 patch lead rated for 10 Gbps Ethernet and up to 100 W Power over Ethernet under IEEE 802.3bt Type 4. The 18 in length keeps short device-side connections orderly where a long patch cord would add excess slack. CAT6UTP18INBK pairs black CM-rated PVC jacketing with unshielded twisted-pair construction for general-purpose installations. Snagless RJ45 connectors help protect the retaining tabs during moves, adds, and changes. Gold-plated contacts support consistent electrical contact at each termination, while 24 AWG stranded pure bare-copper conductors provide flexibility for patching between fixed ports and nearby equipment. The cable has a 6.0 mm outside diameter and has passed Fluke DSX-8000 channel testing. Use this patch cable to connect a LAN switch to a Wi-Fi access point, IP camera, LED-signage controller, or other Ethernet endpoint that receives data and PoE on one run. Its Cat6 rating supports a short copper link without limiting a 10 Gigabit Ethernet connection. The black finish provides a visible cable-color option for local identification in racks, enclosures, work areas, and equipment backboxes.
