ROLINE Cat.6 UTP Patch Cable, Class E, PoE, 2 m, Orange

The ROLINE Cat.6 UTP patch cable is a high-performance networking solution engineered for reliable data transmission in modern Ethernet environments. Measuring 2 meters in length and featuring a distinct orange jacket, this cable is designed to meet Class E standards, ensuring consistent signal integrity and high-speed connectivity for your local network devices.

Advantages

This patch cable offers exceptional versatility by supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, allowing it to power compatible network devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points directly through the data connection. Its unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction provides a flexible and lightweight design that is easy to route through cable management systems or tight spaces. The high-quality materials used in its production minimize interference and signal loss, contributing to a stable and efficient network infrastructure for both professional business environments and home office setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network switches or routers
• Powering PoE-enabled devices like IP cameras and access points
• Home office and small business network installations
• Patch panel connections in server racks

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not designed for outdoor use where it would be exposed to direct sunlight, moisture, or extreme temperature fluctuations. Additionally, because it is an unshielded (UTP) cable, it may not be the optimal choice for environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference, such as areas with heavy industrial machinery or high-voltage power lines.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6
• Cable type: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Performance class: Class E
• Length: 2 meters
• Color: Orange
• 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 stretched beyond its physical limits to maintain optimal performance. 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 cable length for your specific setup
• Check if your network equipment supports Cat.6 standards
• Confirm if your devices require PoE functionality
• Ensure the orange color fits your cable management or color-coding scheme

Usage recommendations

For the best network performance, avoid running Ethernet cables parallel to power cables for long distances to prevent potential crosstalk. Always ensure that the connectors are clean and free of debris before insertion to maintain a secure physical connection.
