Patchcord F/UTP Cat.6 PVC 0.25m red ALANTEC KKS6CZE0.25

Universal Cat.6 patch cord for demanding installations

This red patch cord from ALANTEC, with a length of 0.25 meters, is a reliable connection for computer networks. Made to Cat.6 standard, it provides stable data transmission up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) and is compatible with existing network infrastructure. It is ideal for both distribution points and subscriber connections, offering flexibility and ease of network management.

Construction and shielding for optimal performance

The cable has F/UTP shielding – an aluminum foil surrounding the cable core and an earthing wire, which significantly reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI). This is particularly important in environments with high levels of interference, where data transmission stability is crucial. The construction with four twisted pairs of multi-strand wires provides good flexibility and ease of cable routing. Additionally, a pair separator minimizes signal crosstalk, improving transmission quality. The PVC coating provides durability and resistance to mechanical damage, although it should be noted that in the event of a fire, it releases smoke and halogens – therefore, in critical applications, it is worth considering cables with LSOH coating.

Practical features and applications

The red color of the patch cord makes it easier to identify cables in the installation, which is particularly useful during servicing or network expansion. Thanks to category 6, this cable can achieve data transmission speeds of up to 10 Gbps over shorter distances (up to 37-55m), making it a future-proof solution. The patch cord is backward compatible with lower category elements (patch panels, RJ45 keystone modules), allowing for its seamless use in existing installations. It meets the requirements of the PoE standard (802.3af), enabling the powering of network devices via Ethernet cable. Resistance to mechanical loads and a wide operating temperature range (-20°C to +60°C) guarantee reliability even in difficult conditions.
