Carry 10 Gbps Ethernet traffic and up to 100 W of Power over Ethernet across a short 5 ft copper link. StarTech CAT6UTP5FTPL provides a purple Cat6 UTP patch connection for switches, patch panels, wireless access points, IP cameras, LED signage, and other RJ45-equipped network devices. Its IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 PoE support suits powered endpoints that need more available power than earlier PoE classes provide. The cable uses 24 AWG stranded, pure bare-copper conductors for flexible patching between nearby equipment. Unshielded twisted-pair construction keeps the cable suited to standard RJ45 Ethernet connections, while gold-plated connector contacts support consistent electrical contact. Snagless RJ45 connector boots help protect the retaining clips when routing the cable through cable managers, behind equipment, or between closely spaced ports. A CM-rated PVC jacket supports general-installation cable runs, and the 6.0 mm outside diameter gives installers a concrete routing dimension for dense patching areas. This specific 5 ft purple option provides a visible color designation for cable identification while retaining Cat6 connectivity and 10 Gbps performance. Fluke DSX-8000 Channel testing documents channel-level transmission testing for the cable construction.
