Connect nearby network equipment and PoE-powered endpoints with a compact, clearly identifiable yellow patch lead. StarTech CAT6UTP5FTYL provides a 5 ft Cat6 UTP connection for switch ports, patch panels, workstations, wireless access points, IP cameras, LED signage, and other RJ45-equipped devices. Its yellow jacket helps distinguish a cable run by function, network segment, or endpoint type in crowded racks, desks, and wall enclosures. The cable supports Ethernet data rates up to 10 Gbps and up to 100 W Power over Ethernet under IEEE 802.3bt Type 4. Stranded 24 AWG pure bare copper conductors provide the flexible construction expected of a patch cable, while unshielded twisted-pair wiring suits standard structured-cabling environments. A 6.0 mm outside diameter and CM-rated PVC jacket make it appropriate for general indoor installations where a flexible copper patch connection is required. Snagless RJ45 connector boots help protect the locking tabs during routing and routine moves, reducing the chance of a connector catching on adjacent cables. Gold-plated contacts support consistent connector contact at both ends of the link. Fluke DSX-8000 Channel testing documents channel-level performance verification, giving network installers a concrete cable characteristic beyond category labeling alone. Select this cable where a short, color-coded Cat6 connection must carry both multigigabit Ethernet traffic and high-power PoE to an endpoint.
