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

The ROLINE Cat.6 UTP patch cable is a high-performance networking solution designed to provide reliable data transmission for modern Ethernet environments. With a length of 1 meter and a vibrant orange finish, this cable is engineered to meet Class E standards, ensuring high-speed connectivity for your essential hardware. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing for the simultaneous transmission of data and power to compatible devices, which simplifies cable management in professional and residential setups.

Advantages

This patch cable offers exceptional signal integrity through its high-quality unshielded twisted pair construction, which effectively minimizes crosstalk and interference in standard network environments. The inclusion of PoE support makes it a versatile choice for powering devices such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras without the need for additional power adapters. Its robust design ensures long-term durability and consistent performance, while the bright orange color allows for easy identification and organization within complex cable bundles or server racks.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network switches or routers
• Powering PoE-enabled devices like IP cameras and access points
• Home office and professional network installations
• Patching connections in network cabinets

When it may not be suitable

This cable is unshielded (UTP) and may not be the optimal choice for environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference, such as industrial settings with heavy machinery or areas with significant electrical cabling. For such high-interference environments, a shielded (FTP or S/FTP) cable would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6
• Cable type: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Performance class: Class E
• PoE support: Yes
• Length: 1 meter
• Color: Orange

How to use

To use the ROLINE Cat.6 patch cable, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the network port of your device, such as a computer, router, or switch, until you hear a distinct click. Ensure that the cable is not bent at sharp angles or subjected to excessive tension, as this can affect signal quality. When using the cable for Power over Ethernet, verify that both the connected network switch and the end device are compatible with the required PoE standard to ensure safe and efficient operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length for your specific setup
• Check if your network hardware supports the Cat.6 standard
• Confirm if your devices require PoE functionality
• Ensure the unshielded design meets your environmental requirements

Usage recommendations

For optimal network performance, avoid running Ethernet cables parallel to power lines over long distances. Regularly inspect the connectors for dust or debris to maintain a secure physical connection.
