Connect nearby Ethernet equipment with a 3 ft yellow Cat 6 UTP patch cable that supports 10 Gbps network traffic and up to 100 W PoE under IEEE 802.3bt Type 4. StarTech CAT6UTP3FTYL uses 24 AWG stranded pure bare-copper conductors for consistent signaling between switches, patch panels, workstations, wireless access points, IP cameras, and PoE LED signage. Snagless RJ45 connectors help protect the retaining tabs during cable routing and frequent moves in racks, desks, cabinets, and wall enclosures. Gold-plated contacts provide the connector contact surface, while the unshielded twisted-pair construction keeps the cable suited to standard RJ45 Ethernet connections. Its yellow jacket gives installers a visible way to separate this run from cables assigned to other network functions. The cable has a CM-rated PVC jacket for general installations and a 6.0 mm outside diameter. Channel testing on a Fluke DSX-8000 provides a stated test reference for the assembled cable. The 3 ft length is intended for close-range patching where excess cable slack can obstruct airflow, cable management, or identification. This specific version combines the short patch length with a yellow jacket, rather than relying on labels alone to distinguish the connection.
