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

The ROLINE Cat.6 UTP patch cable is a high-performance networking solution engineered for reliable data transmission in modern Ethernet environments. Measuring 1.5 meters in length and finished in a distinct red color, this cable is designed to provide stable connectivity for a wide range of office and home networking devices. By adhering to Class E standards, it ensures consistent signal integrity and efficient performance for high-speed local area networks.

Advantages

This patch cable features an unshielded twisted pair construction that offers excellent flexibility, making it easy to route through tight spaces or cable management systems. The support for Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows the cable to transmit both data and electrical power to compatible devices, such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points, effectively reducing the need for additional power cabling. Its robust design ensures long-term durability and reliable performance in demanding network setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network switches or routers
• Powering PoE-enabled devices like IP cameras and access points
• Home office and professional networking environments
• Patch panel connections in server racks

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not designed for outdoor use or environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference, as it lacks shielding. If your installation requires protection against crosstalk in high-density cable bundles or proximity to high-voltage power lines, a shielded (FTP/STP) cable would be a more appropriate choice.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6
• Cable type: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Performance class: Class E
• Length: 1.5 meters

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. For optimal performance, verify that your network equipment supports the Cat.6 standard and that the cable is properly seated in both the source and destination ports.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length for your specific setup
• Ensure your network devices are compatible with Cat.6 standards
• Check if your equipment requires PoE functionality
• Confirm the color coding matches your cable management requirements

Usage recommendations

For best results, avoid running network cables parallel to electrical power lines to prevent potential signal interference. Always ensure that the cable is fully inserted into the port to maintain a secure and stable connection.
