ROLINE Cat.6 UTP Patch Cable, 7m, Gray, PoE Support

The ROLINE Cat.6 UTP patch cable is a high-quality networking solution designed to provide stable and reliable connectivity for various Ethernet applications. Measuring 7 meters in length, this cable is finished in a neutral gray color, making it suitable for discreet installation in both professional office environments and home network setups. It is engineered to meet Class E performance standards, ensuring efficient data transmission for your local area network needs.

Advantages

This patch cable offers robust performance by supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE), which allows for the simultaneous transmission of data and electrical power to compatible devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points. Its unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction provides a flexible and lightweight design, facilitating easy routing through cable management systems or around furniture. The high-quality materials used in its production ensure consistent signal integrity and durability, minimizing the risk of data loss or network interruptions during daily operation.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers and laptops to wall outlets or switches
• Linking routers and modems to network switches
• Powering PoE-enabled devices like IP cameras and access points
• Establishing stable connections in home office or small business environments

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not designed for outdoor use where it would be exposed to harsh weather conditions, direct sunlight, or moisture, as the jacket is not rated for external environmental protection. Additionally, it is not intended for high-interference industrial environments where shielded cabling (STP/FTP) is required to prevent electromagnetic interference.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6
• Cable type: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Length: 7 meters
• Color: Gray
• Performance standard: Class E
• PoE support: Yes

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of your networking device until you hear a distinct click, indicating that the locking tab is secure. Ensure that the cable is not bent at sharp angles or subjected to excessive tension, as this can damage the internal conductors over time. When connecting PoE devices, verify that your switch or power injector is compatible with the required power standards to ensure safe and effective operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length to ensure 7 meters is sufficient for your setup
• Check if your network equipment supports Cat.6 standards for optimal performance
• Confirm that your devices are compatible with UTP cabling in your specific environment

Usage recommendations

For the best network performance, avoid running Ethernet cables parallel to high-voltage power lines, as this can induce interference. Always ensure that connectors are kept clean and free of dust to maintain a stable physical connection.
