ROLINE Cat.6 UTP Patch Cable, Class E, PoE, Red, 0.3 m

The ROLINE Cat.6 UTP patch cable is a high-performance networking solution engineered for reliable data transmission in Ethernet environments. Measuring 0.3 meters in length and finished in a distinct red color, this cable is specifically designed to provide stable connectivity for professional and home office setups. It adheres to Class E standards and supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), making it a versatile component for modern network infrastructures.

Advantages

This patch cable offers excellent signal integrity due to its high-quality construction and adherence to Category 6 standards. The support for Power over Ethernet allows for the simultaneous transmission of data and power to compatible devices, reducing the need for additional power supplies. Its compact 0.3-meter length is particularly beneficial for reducing cable clutter in server racks, patch panels, or desktop environments where short-distance connections are required.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches and routers in compact server cabinets
• Linking patch panels to active network equipment
• Powering PoE-enabled devices such as VoIP phones or access points
• Home office setups requiring short, reliable Ethernet connections

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not suitable for long-distance networking applications due to its short 0.3-meter length. It is also an unshielded (UTP) cable, meaning it may not be the optimal choice for environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference where shielded (STP/FTP) cables would be required to maintain signal quality.

Key specifications

• Cable Category: Cat.6
• Shielding Type: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Performance Class: Class E
• Power over Ethernet: Supported
• Length: 0.3 meters
• Color: Red

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of your networking device until you hear a click. Ensure that both connected devices are compatible with Cat.6 standards to achieve the maximum data transfer rates. The cable is plug-and-play, requiring no additional configuration for standard network operations.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length to ensure 0.3 meters is sufficient for your setup
• Check if your network environment requires shielded cabling to prevent interference
• Confirm that your devices support the Cat.6 standard for optimal performance

Usage recommendations

For best results, avoid bending the cable at sharp angles or placing it under heavy physical strain, as this can damage the internal conductors and degrade network performance over time.
