ROLINE Cat.6 UTP Patch Cable, Class E, PoE, 1.5 m, Grey

The ROLINE Cat.6 UTP patch cable is a high-performance networking solution engineered for stable and efficient data transmission in modern Ethernet environments. Measuring 1.5 meters in length, this cable is designed to meet Class E standards, ensuring reliable connectivity for high-speed network applications. Its unshielded twisted pair construction provides a balance of flexibility and performance, making it a dependable choice for connecting various network hardware components.

Advantages

This patch cable offers robust support for Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing it to transmit both data and power to compatible devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points. The high-quality materials used in its construction minimize signal interference and crosstalk, maintaining data integrity during intensive network operations. Its compact 1.5-meter length is specifically optimized for short-range connections, reducing cable clutter in server racks, home offices, or workstation setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to wall outlets or switches
• Linking routers and modems in home network configurations
• Powering PoE-enabled devices like IP cameras and access points
• Professional office network installations

When it may not be suitable

This cable is unshielded, which means it may not be the optimal choice for environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference, such as areas near heavy industrial machinery or high-voltage power lines. Additionally, the 1.5-meter length is intended for short-distance connections and will not be sufficient for linking devices located in different rooms or across large office spaces.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6
• Shielding type: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Performance class: Class E
• Length: 1.5 meters
• PoE support: Yes
• Color: Grey

How to use

To use the ROLINE Cat.6 patch cable, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of your network device until you hear a distinct click. Ensure that the cable is not bent at sharp angles or subjected to excessive tension, as this can affect signal quality over time. The cable is plug-and-play, requiring no additional configuration for immediate network connectivity.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length for your specific setup
• Ensure your network devices support Cat.6 standards for optimal performance
• Check if your hardware requires shielded (STP/FTP) cables due to environmental interference

Usage recommendations

For the best network performance, avoid running Ethernet cables parallel to power cables for long distances to prevent potential signal degradation. Always ensure that the connectors are fully seated in the ports to maintain a secure and stable connection.
