Run a short, high-speed copper link between nearby networked equipment while carrying data and Power over Ethernet on one Cat6 connection. StarTech CAT6UTP18INGR is an 18 in gray UTP patch cable rated for 10 Gbps Ethernet and up to 100 W IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 PoE. Its short length suits tidy links where excess patch-cord slack would obstruct a panel, enclosure, desktop, or device mount. The cable terminates in snagless RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts. Its 24 AWG stranded, pure bare-copper conductors and UTP construction provide a flexible connection for LAN equipment, Wi-Fi access points, LED signage, and IP cameras. The 6.0 mm outside diameter supports cable routing in general network installations while retaining a full Cat6 Ethernet connection. A CM-rated PVC jacket makes this cable suitable for general installation areas. Fluke DSX-8000 Channel testing verifies channel performance, while Type 4 PoE support allows the same cable run to carry network traffic and power to compatible endpoints. The gray finish and 18 in length distinguish this configuration for closely spaced devices and short patching runs.
