Carry 10 Gbps Ethernet traffic and up to 100 W PoE over a 50 ft copper patch connection. StarTech CAT6UTP50FTRD uses Cat6 unshielded twisted-pair construction with 24 AWG stranded pure bare-copper conductors for links between switches, patch panels, workstations, wireless access points, IP cameras, LED signage, and other RJ45 Ethernet equipment. The red PVC jacket makes this cable easier to identify among grouped network runs while its CM rating supports general-purpose installations. Its 6.0 mm outside diameter provides a defined cable profile for routing through desks, wall pathways, cable managers, and equipment enclosures. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts support consistent connector contact, and the snagless connector design helps protect the release tab during installation and removal. Use the 50 ft length where short equipment-room patch leads do not reach but a permanent horizontal-cabling run is unnecessary. The cable is channel tested with a Fluke DSX-8000 and supports IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 PoE applications, allowing one Ethernet connection to carry both network data and power to compatible endpoints. This configuration pairs a clearly visible red jacket with a longer Cat6 patch length for installations that need cable identification without adding couplers or extension segments.
