Connect nearby Ethernet endpoints with a 5 ft Cat6 UTP patch lead sized for equipment-to-wall-jack, patch-panel or switch connections. StarTech CAT6UTP5FTRD carries 10 Gbps Ethernet traffic and supports up to 100 W of IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 Power over Ethernet, allowing one copper run to provide both network connectivity and power to compatible PoE devices. The cable uses 24 AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors for consistent signaling and flexibility during installation. Its unshielded twisted-pair construction has a 6.0 mm outer diameter and a CM-rated PVC jacket for general-purpose in-wall and building installations where a CM jacket is required. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts support dependable connector contact, while the snagless connector design helps protect the retaining tab during moves and changes. The red jacket provides immediate visual identification among mixed cable runs, while the 5 ft length keeps short patching areas orderly without excess slack. Fluke DSX-8000 Channel testing verifies channel performance. This cable fits short copper links for Wi-Fi access points, PoE LED signage, IP cameras and LAN-attached equipment where Cat6 performance, 10 Gbps bandwidth and high-power PoE are required.
