ROLINE Cat.6 UTP Patch Cable, Class E, PoE, 5 m, Yellow

The ROLINE Cat.6 UTP patch cable is a high-performance networking solution engineered for reliable data transmission in modern Ethernet environments. Measuring 5 meters in length and finished in a distinct yellow color, this cable is designed to provide stable connectivity for a wide range of office and home networking devices. By adhering to Class E standards, it ensures consistent performance for high-speed data transfers, while its unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design maintains a flexible and lightweight profile for easy cable management.

Advantages

This patch cable offers exceptional versatility due to its support for Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing it to transmit both data and electrical power to compatible devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points. The high-quality construction minimizes signal interference, ensuring a stable connection even during intensive data usage. Its flexible design allows for effortless routing through tight spaces, cable ducts, or behind furniture, making it an ideal choice for both professional IT installations and home office setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network switches or routers
• Powering devices via Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology
• Establishing stable connections for VoIP phones and IP cameras
• Home office and small business local area network (LAN) setups

When it may not be suitable

This cable is unshielded (UTP) and therefore may not be suitable for environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference, such as areas with heavy industrial machinery or high-voltage cabling. In such scenarios, shielded cables (STP/FTP) would be required to prevent signal degradation.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6
• Cable type: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Length: 5 meters
• Color: Yellow
• Performance class: Class E
• PoE support: Yes

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the network port of your networking device until you hear a distinct click. Ensure that both the source device and the destination device are compatible with Cat.6 standards to achieve optimal data transfer speeds. When routing the cable, avoid sharp bends or excessive tension to maintain the integrity of the internal wiring and ensure long-term performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length for your specific installation to avoid excess cable clutter
• Check if your network equipment supports Cat.6 standards
• Confirm if your devices require PoE functionality
• Ensure the unshielded design is appropriate for your specific environment

Usage recommendations

For optimal network performance, avoid running Ethernet cables parallel to power lines for long distances, as this can introduce interference. Always ensure that the connectors are fully seated in their ports to prevent intermittent connectivity issues.
