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

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 neutral white color, this cable is designed to provide stable and efficient connectivity for a wide range of office and home networking hardware. By adhering to Class E standards, it ensures consistent performance for demanding network tasks, while its support for Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows for the simultaneous transmission of data and power to compatible devices.

Advantages

This patch cable features a robust unshielded twisted pair construction that balances flexibility with signal integrity. Its design minimizes interference, ensuring that data packets are transmitted accurately across your local network. The inclusion of PoE support adds significant versatility, allowing users to power devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, or wireless access points directly through the network cable, thereby reducing the need for additional power adapters and simplifying cable management. The compact 1-meter length is ideal for reducing clutter in server racks, patch panels, or desktop setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to wall outlets or switches
• Linking routers and modems in home office setups
• Powering PoE-enabled devices like IP cameras and access points
• Short-distance connections in server cabinets or patch panels

When it may not be suitable

This cable is unshielded, which means it may not be the optimal choice for environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference, such as areas near heavy industrial machinery or high-voltage power lines. In such cases, a shielded (STP or FTP) cable would be more appropriate to prevent signal degradation.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6
• Shielding type: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Performance class: Class E
• Length: 1 meter
• Color: White
• 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. Ensure that the cable is not bent at sharp angles or subjected to excessive tension, as this can damage the internal wiring 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 length for your specific setup to avoid excess cable clutter
• Check if your network equipment supports Cat.6 standards for optimal speed
• Ensure that your environment does not require shielded cabling due to interference

Usage recommendations

For the best network performance, avoid running Ethernet cables parallel to power cables for long distances. Always ensure the connectors are fully seated in their ports to maintain a secure and stable connection.
