ROLINE Cat.6 UTP Patch Cable, Class E, PoE, 1m, Black

The ROLINE Cat.6 UTP patch cable is a high-performance networking solution engineered for reliable data transmission in modern Ethernet environments. Measuring 1 meter in length and finished in a professional black color, this cable is designed to meet Class E standards, ensuring consistent signal integrity and high-speed connectivity for your local network infrastructure. Its unshielded twisted pair construction makes it flexible and easy to manage in tight spaces, while its support for Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows it to power compatible devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points directly through the network connection.

Advantages

This patch cable offers exceptional durability and signal stability, making it a dependable choice for both home and office network setups. By adhering to Cat.6 standards, it supports higher data transfer rates compared to older cable categories, reducing latency and improving overall network efficiency. The inclusion of PoE support adds significant versatility, as it eliminates the need for separate power supplies for connected hardware, thereby simplifying cable management and reducing clutter in your workspace. Its robust design ensures a long service life, even with frequent handling or repositioning of equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to wall outlets or network switches
• Linking routers and modems to networking hardware
• Powering PoE-enabled devices like IP cameras and VoIP phones
• Establishing stable connections in home offices and professional server rooms

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for outdoor use where it would be exposed to harsh weather conditions, direct sunlight, or moisture, as it lacks the necessary protective shielding and jacket materials for such environments. Additionally, it is not suitable for applications requiring high levels of electromagnetic interference protection, where shielded (STP/FTP) cables would be necessary to prevent signal degradation.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6
• Shielding: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Length: 1 meter
• Color: Black
• Standard: Class E
• PoE Support: Yes

How to use

To use the ROLINE Cat.6 patch 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 stretched tightly, as this can damage the internal conductors and affect performance. When connecting PoE devices, verify that your switch or power injector is correctly configured to provide the necessary power to the connected hardware.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length to ensure it reaches your devices without excessive slack
• Confirm that your network equipment supports Cat.6 standards for optimal performance
• Check if your devices require PoE functionality to ensure full compatibility
• Ensure the environment is suitable for an unshielded cable

Usage recommendations: For the best network performance, avoid running this cable parallel to power lines or near large electrical appliances to minimize potential interference. Regularly inspect the connectors for dust or debris to maintain a clean, high-quality signal connection.
