Network patch cable XXX_Assmann (Digitus) ROLINE 21.45.3166 Cat6a U/UTP, 7 m, white, RJ-45 gold-plated

ROLINE network patch cable XXX_Assmann (Digitus) model 21.45.3166 is a pre-assembled Cat6a U/UTP cable designed for up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. The unshielded, four-pair stranded copper construction and RJ-45 plugs with gold-plated contacts provide reliable signal transmission for LAN links between switches, routers, patch panels and end devices. This 7 m white cable comes from the ROLINE Recycled Material line and is intended for use as a patch or device connection cable in office or home network installations.

Advantages

The cable supports the Cat6a specification for high-speed data transfer and maintains consistent pair arrangement according to EIA/TIA 568 wiring (1:1), ensuring compatibility with standard network equipment. Moulded kink protection and a flexible jacket allow use in confined routing spaces while reducing strain on connectors. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve contact reliability and resistance to corrosion, enabling stable connections over time. The plug-and-play design requires no additional configuration for straightforward deployment.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within server rooms, offices and home networks
• Patch panels, network switches and router device connections
• Connecting desktop PCs, NAS, printers and other networked devices
• Structured cabling where a 7 m length is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 7 m
• Conductor: 4-pair stranded copper
• Connector type: RJ-45 straight male – both ends
• Contacts: gold-plated
• Wiring: EIA/TIA 568 1:1
• Jacket color: white
• Features: moulded kink protection, flexible for narrow bending
• Installation: plug and play

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 plug into the corresponding network port on devices such as switches, routers, patch panels or computers until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Route the cable through cable channels or along designated paths, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension to maintain performance. For structured cabling, follow existing labeling and patch panel numbering to preserve link traceability. No additional configuration is required for standard Ethernet operation.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the U/UTP cable parallel to power lines or close to sources of electromagnetic interference. Maintain bend radius recommendations (avoid tight loops) and secure excess length with cable ties or Velcro straps rather than sharp bends. Use the 7 m length for cross‑room or rack-to-desk connections where this distance matches the layout.
