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

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, this blue cable is designed to provide stable and efficient connectivity between various network devices, ensuring seamless communication within home or office infrastructures.

Advantages

This patch cable adheres to the Class E standard, which guarantees high-speed data transfer rates suitable for demanding network applications. The inclusion of Power over Ethernet (PoE) support allows the cable to transmit both data and electrical power to compatible devices, such as IP cameras or VoIP phones, simplifying installation by reducing the need for separate power supplies. Its unshielded twisted pair construction offers a flexible and lightweight design, making it easy to route through cable management systems or tight spaces while maintaining signal integrity.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network switches or routers
• Linking network peripherals in home office setups
• Powering PoE-enabled devices like access points and IP cameras
• Establishing reliable local area network connections

When it may not be suitable

This cable is unshielded, meaning it may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference in environments with high levels of electrical noise or near heavy industrial machinery. For such specialized settings, a shielded cable would be a more appropriate choice to prevent data packet loss.

Key specifications

• Category 6 (Cat.6) performance
• Class E standard compliance
• Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design
• Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE)
• Length: 5 meters
• Color: Blue

How to use

To use the ROLINE Cat.6 patch cable, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of your networking 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 damage the internal wiring and degrade performance. The cable is plug-and-play, requiring no additional configuration for immediate network connectivity.

What to consider before purchase

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

Usage recommendations

For optimal network performance, avoid running Ethernet cables parallel to power lines and ensure that all connections are fully seated in their respective ports. Regularly inspect the cable for physical damage to maintain consistent data transmission speeds.
