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

The ROLINE Cat.6 UTP patch cable is a professional-grade networking component engineered for high-speed data transmission within Class E Ethernet infrastructures. Measuring 0.3 meters in length, this black cable provides a compact and reliable solution for short-distance connections between network devices, such as switches, routers, and patch panels. It is fully compatible with Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, allowing for the simultaneous transmission of data and electrical power to compatible network hardware.

Advantages

This patch cable offers exceptional signal integrity and performance for modern local area networks. By adhering to Cat.6 standards, it minimizes crosstalk and interference, ensuring stable and efficient data transfer rates. The inclusion of PoE support makes it a versatile choice for powering devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, or wireless access points without the need for additional power cabling. Its robust construction and compact 0.3-meter length help maintain an organized and clutter-free workspace.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches and routers in server racks
• Linking patch panels to active network equipment
• Powering PoE-enabled devices such as VoIP phones and IP cameras
• Short-distance connections in home or office network cabinets

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for long-distance runs, as its 0.3-meter length limits its use to immediate proximity connections. Furthermore, because it is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, it may not be the optimal choice for environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference where shielded (STP/FTP) cabling would be required to maintain signal quality.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6
• Cable Type: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Performance Class: Class E
• Length: 0.3 meters
• Color: Black
• PoE Support: Yes

How to use

To use the ROLINE Cat.6 patch cable, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your network device until you hear a distinct click. Ensure that both connected devices are compatible with Cat.6 standards to achieve maximum performance. When using the cable for PoE applications, verify that the power-sourcing equipment (PSE) and the powered device (PD) are correctly configured to handle the required power load.

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 cables to prevent interference
• Confirm that your hardware supports the Cat.6 standard for optimal speed

Usage recommendations: To maintain network performance, avoid bending the cable at sharp angles or placing heavy objects on it. Ensure that the connectors are kept clean and free of dust to prevent connection drops.
