Connect nearby network equipment with a 7 ft Cat6 UTP patch cable that supports 10 Gbps Ethernet and up to 100 W PoE under IEEE 802.3bt Type 4. StarTech CAT6UTP7FTBK uses stranded 24 AWG pure bare copper conductors for flexible device-to-switch, patch-panel-to-device, and endpoint connections. Its black jacket provides a clear color option where cable identification matters within an installation. Snagless RJ45 plugs protect the connector latch during pulls through cable managers and frequent patching. Gold-plated contacts support consistent connector contact, while the unshielded twisted-pair construction fits standard RJ45 Ethernet ports without requiring shielded cable hardware. The cable has a 6.0 mm outside diameter and a CM-rated PVC jacket for general installations. Use this length for short interconnects between a switch and wireless access point, IP camera, LED-signage controller, workstation, or other powered Ethernet endpoint. The cable has been channel tested with a Fluke DSX-8000. Within the available length and color range, this configuration combines a 7 ft reach with a black finish, Cat6 performance, and support for high-power PoE connections.
