Networking cable ROLINE 21.15.2552 RJ-45 Cat6 2 m Black

The ROLINE 21.15.2552 RJ-45 Cat6 2 m Black is a network patch cable designed for reliable wired connections in office and home networks. It conforms to the Cat6 standard and uses U/UTP construction to provide consistent signal quality and reduced crosstalk compared with lower-category cables. The cable is terminated with standard RJ-45 plugs on both ends and comes in a 2 metre length with a black outer jacket for discrete installation and easy cable management.

Advantages

The Cat6 specification supports higher bandwidth and improved performance for Gigabit Ethernet and multimedia streaming. U/UTP shielding reduces external interference without adding bulk, maintaining flexibility for routing in tight spaces. The 2 m length is suitable for typical patching between switches, patch panels, and wall outlets, while the RJ-45 connectors provide universal compatibility with Ethernet ports. The black jacket offers a professional appearance and helps hide the cable along desks and network racks.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting computers, switches and routers within a local network
• Patching from wall outlets to desktop devices in offices or home environments
• Wiring small server cabinets or network racks where short patch leads are required
• Audio/video streaming and VoIP devices requiring stable wired connections

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6
• Cable length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding type: U/UTP (overall unshielded twisted pair with individual pair configuration)
• Colour: Black

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 plug firmly into the Ethernet ports of the devices you wish to connect until the latch clicks. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and kinks in the cable and keep the run clear of high-power electrical equipment that may introduce interference. Use appropriate cable management such as clips or ties to secure the cable and maintain an organized routing path. When connecting patch panels or switches, verify link activity indicators on devices to confirm a successful connection.

Usage recommendations

Choose this 2 m Cat6 cable for short direct connections where Gigabit performance and low interference are needed. Replace the cable if the connectors or jacket show visible wear or if transmission errors appear. For longer runs or environments with strong electromagnetic interference, consider higher-category cables or shielded solutions designed for those conditions.
