ROLINE Cat.6 UTP Patch Cable, 5 m, Grey, PoE Support

The ROLINE Cat.6 UTP patch cable is a high-performance networking solution engineered for reliable data transmission in modern Ethernet environments. Measuring 5 meters in length, this cable is designed to meet Class E standards, ensuring consistent signal integrity for both home and office network infrastructures. Its unshielded twisted pair construction offers a balance of flexibility and durability, making it an ideal choice for connecting computers, routers, switches, and other network-enabled devices.

Advantages

This patch cable stands out due to its robust construction and support for Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology. By allowing power to be delivered alongside data over a single cable, it simplifies the installation of devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points. The high-quality materials used in its manufacturing minimize signal interference and crosstalk, providing a stable and efficient connection for demanding network tasks.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers and laptops to network switches
• Linking routers to modems or wall outlets
• Powering and connecting PoE-enabled devices like IP cameras and access points
• Home office and small business local area network setups

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for outdoor use or environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference, as it lacks shielding. If your installation requires protection against significant electrical noise or requires burial, a shielded or outdoor-rated cable would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6 (Class E)
• Cable type: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Length: 5 meters
• Color: Grey
• PoE support: Yes

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the network port of your device until you hear a click. Ensure that the cable is not bent at sharp angles or pinched by furniture, as this can damage the internal wiring and degrade performance. The cable is plug-and-play, meaning it will automatically establish a connection once both ends are securely plugged into compatible network ports.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length to ensure 5 meters is sufficient for your setup
• Check if your network devices support Cat.6 standards for optimal performance
• Confirm that your PoE-powered devices are compatible with the power delivery capabilities of this cable

Usage recommendations

For the best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines to prevent potential interference. Always ensure the connectors are free of dust and debris before insertion to maintain a solid electrical contact.
