Patch-cord Alantec U/UTP Cat6 PVC 5.0 m blue

Alantec U/UTP Cat6 PVC patch-cord, 5.0 m in blue, is a flexible unshielded twisted-pair cable designed for standard Category 6 Ethernet networking. The cable provides reliable connectivity for LAN environments, facilitating data transfer between switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices. The PVC outer sheath is intended for indoor installations and basic cable management while maintaining required Cat6 electrical characteristics for typical office and home networks.

Advantages

This Cat6 patch-cord delivers consistent performance for Gigabit Ethernet and many higher-speed applications within the limits of Category 6. The unshielded design simplifies installation in environments without significant electromagnetic interference, and the PVC jacket offers flexibility for routing through cable trays, conduits and behind furniture. A 5.0 m length balances reach and signal integrity for common desk-to-switch and equipment-to-patch-panel connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, printers and IP phones to network switches
• Linking switches, routers and patch panels in wiring closets
• Office and home LAN installations where shielded cabling is not required
• Temporary network setups and equipment reconfigurations

Key specifications

• Cabling standard: Category 6 (Cat6), unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP)
• Conductor arrangement: 4 twisted pairs
• Jacket material: PVC suitable for indoor use
• Length: 5.0 meters
• Color: blue
• Connectors: RJ45 terminated both ends (8P8C) with standard Cat6 wiring
• Typical use: Ethernet, Fast/Gigabit Ethernet and network patching

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding port until a tactile click confirms proper seating. Use the 5.0 m length to connect devices such as PCs, switches, routers or patch panels without additional adapters. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and pinch points; maintain bend radii compatible with the cable construction and avoid running alongside high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference. For neat installations, secure the cable with cable ties or clips rated for network cabling.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6 patch-cord within a structured cabling system that follows Cat6 standards, and avoid environments with strong electromagnetic interference. If installation requires outdoor exposure, plenum spaces or additional shielding, choose cabling with appropriate jacket material or shielded construction.
