The Startech rigid UTP Category 6 N6PATC2MBK network cable is designed for reliable, high-quality Gigabit network connections, ideal for environments requiring stable and durable performance. With a length of 2 meters and a black color that aids visual coding and organization, this cable meets Cat6 specifications, allowing data transfers at speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s. It is made with 100% copper and 24 AWG conductors, ensuring efficient conductivity and supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications without overheating or loss. Its design features a U/UTP shielding (unshielded twisted pair), built to offer an optimal balance between flexibility and protection against electromagnetic interference. The RJ-45 connectors have 50-micron gold-plated contacts, ensuring a stable connection resistant to oxidation and corrosion. Additionally, the cable has a rigid body with molded PVC strain relief that minimizes damage at termination points and a locking clip guard that protects the connector clip from snags or breaks during installation. The outer black PVC jacket enhances durability and wear resistance, making it a practical choice for network infrastructure requiring reliable, high-performance cables in professional or home setups. Overall, the Startech rigid UTP Cat6 N6PATC2MBK cable is a technically sound choice for those seeking to build a robust Ethernet network that maintains signal integrity and power delivery in demanding environments.
