ROLINE Cat.6 UTP Patch Cable, Class E, PoE, 3m, Green

The ROLINE Cat.6 UTP patch cable is a high-performance networking solution engineered for reliable data transmission in modern Ethernet environments. With a length of 3 meters and a distinct green color, this cable is designed to meet the rigorous demands of Class E standards, ensuring stable and high-speed connectivity for both professional office infrastructures and home network setups. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing for the efficient delivery of both data and power to compatible devices through a single connection.

Advantages

This patch cable offers exceptional signal integrity by minimizing interference, which is essential for maintaining consistent network speeds. The robust construction ensures long-term durability and resistance to wear, making it a dependable choice for frequent patching in server rooms or workstation setups. Its compatibility with PoE technology simplifies cable management by reducing the need for separate power supplies for devices such as IP cameras or VoIP phones. The flexible design allows for easy routing in tight spaces, while the high-quality materials guarantee a secure connection that prevents accidental disconnections.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to wall outlets or switches
• Linking routers and modems in home networks
• Powering and connecting PoE-enabled devices like IP cameras and access points
• Professional office network installations

When it may not be suitable

This cable is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design, which means 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 cabling. In such cases, a shielded (STP or FTP) cable would be required to prevent signal degradation.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6
• Cable type: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Performance class: Class E
• Length: 3 meters
• Color: Green
• PoE support: Yes

How to use

To use the ROLINE Cat.6 patch cable, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the network port of your 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 subjected to excessive tension, as this can damage the internal conductors. When connecting PoE devices, verify that your network switch or injector is configured to provide the necessary power output to support the connected hardware.

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 environment requires shielded cabling to avoid interference
• Ensure the color matches your existing cable management scheme if color-coding is used

Usage recommendations

For optimal network performance, avoid running Ethernet cables parallel to power lines for long distances. Always ensure that the connectors are kept clean and free of dust to maintain a stable electrical contact.
