Create a short, orderly copper link between nearby Ethernet devices while carrying data and Power over Ethernet on one Cat6 connection. StarTech CAT6UTP9INBK uses 24 AWG stranded, pure bare copper UTP conductors to support 10 Gbps Ethernet and 100 W PoE under IEEE 802.3bt Type 4. Its 9 in length reduces excess slack where ports, patch panels, injectors, or powered endpoints sit close together. Snagless RJ45 connectors protect the retaining tabs during routine moves and changes, while gold-plated contacts support consistent electrical connection. The cable has a 6.0 mm outside diameter and a black CM-rated PVC jacket for general installations. It can link LAN equipment to PoE endpoints including Wi-Fi access points, LED signage, and IP cameras. Fluke DSX-8000 Channel testing provides a named verification point for assembled channel performance. Within the available range, this version is distinguished by its 9 in length and black jacket; other lengths and colors are available. Select it where a Cat6 UTP connection must avoid a coil of patch-cord slack while carrying Ethernet traffic and PoE in compact network enclosures.
