StarTech 1,2 m Cat6 UTP kabelverlenging, bulkhead, male naar female - zwart

Network technicians and IT administrators often need to extend a Cat6 connection through a panel, wall plate, or enclosure. This StarTech 1.2m Cat6 UTP Male to Female Bulkhead Extension Cable provides a clean, panel-mountable RJ45 female port on one end and a standard RJ45 male plug on the other, making it perfect for patch panels, server racks, and structured cabling installations. The black unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 250 MHz, ensuring reliable high-speed data transfer for demanding network environments.

Key specifications

• Cable Type: Cat6 Ethernet, UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Connector A: RJ45 Male (gold-plated contacts)
• Connector B: RJ45 Female, bulkhead/panel mountable
• Cable Length: 1.2 meters (approx. 4 feet)
• Data Transfer Rate: Up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T)
• Bandwidth: 250 MHz
• Conductor Material: Bare Copper, 24 AWG, 8 conductors (4 pairs)
• Jacket Material: PVC, black, approx. 6.0 mm diameter
• Compliance: TIA/EIA-568-C.2, RoHS

Why choose it

The bulkhead female connector allows for a secure, fixed mounting point, turning any panel or enclosure into a convenient network access port. The male end plugs directly into a switch, router, or patch panel, while the female end provides a durable connection for a standard patch cable. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and ensure consistent signal quality. With Cat6 performance, this cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks, offering future-proofing for 10GBase-T applications.

Ideal use cases

• Patch panel and wall plate installations
• Server rack and enclosure pass-through
• Extending network connections in structured cabling
• Creating accessible network ports in kiosks or workstations

Good to know

The cable is constructed with bare copper conductors for optimal conductivity and meets TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards. Its PVC jacket provides durability and flexibility, while the bulkhead design simplifies cable management and reduces strain on connections.
