ROLINE Cat.6 UTP Patch Cable, 2m, White, PoE Support

The ROLINE Cat.6 UTP patch cable is a high-performance networking solution engineered for stable and reliable data transmission in modern Ethernet environments. Measuring 2 meters in length, this cable is designed to facilitate seamless connectivity between network components such as computers, switches, routers, and other peripheral devices. Built to Class E standards, it provides the necessary bandwidth for demanding office and home network applications while maintaining a compact and flexible form factor.

Advantages

This patch cable offers exceptional signal integrity for standard network installations, ensuring consistent data transfer speeds. Its unshielded twisted pair construction makes the cable lightweight and easy to manage during installation in tight spaces. Furthermore, the integrated support for Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows for the simultaneous transmission of data and electrical power to compatible devices, such as IP cameras or VoIP phones, effectively reducing the need for additional power cabling.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers to wall outlets or switches
• Linking network routers and modems
• Powering PoE-enabled devices like IP phones and wireless access points
• Home office and small business network setups

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 industrial settings with heavy machinery or areas with dense power cabling. For such environments, shielded alternatives would be more appropriate to prevent signal degradation.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6 (Class E)
• Cable type: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Length: 2 meters
• 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 network 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 affect performance over time. The cable is plug-and-play, requiring no additional configuration for standard network operations.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length to ensure it reaches between your devices without excessive slack
• Check if your network equipment supports Cat.6 standards for optimal performance
• Confirm that your devices are compatible with the PoE standard if you intend to use the cable for power delivery

Usage recommendations

For the best network performance, avoid running Ethernet cables parallel to power lines for long distances and ensure that the connectors are kept clean and free of dust.
