Patchcord U/UTP Cat.6 PVC 0.25m yellow ALANTEC KKU6ZOL0.25

Short Cat. 6 patch cord for quick connection

This yellow Cat. 6 patch cord from ALANTEC is a ready-to-use solution for network connections. It is ideal for both distribution points and connecting devices in the office or at home. Its compact size – only 0.25 meters – makes it easy to organize cabling and minimizes clutter.

Construction and application

The patch cord is made in U/UTP technology, which means no shielding. This is a popular solution in installations where the level of electromagnetic interference is not high. It uses stranded wires, providing flexibility and resistance to bending. The PVC coating protects the cable from mechanical damage, but it should be remembered that in the event of a fire, this material emits smoke and halogens – therefore, it is worth considering cables with LSOH coating in critical applications. The yellow color makes it easy to identify the cable in cable routes, and also allows it to be quickly distinguished from other network cables.

Key features and benefits

• Category 6: Provides data transmission speeds up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet), and up to 10 Gbps on shorter distances.
• U/UTP: Low susceptibility to interference in standard network operating conditions.
• Compact size (0.25m): Facilitates cable organization and minimizes clutter, especially useful for short connections between devices.
• Stranded wires: Increased flexibility and resistance to bending, which facilitates installation and ensures connection durability.
• ALANTEC brand: A guarantee of quality from a Polish manufacturer of structured cabling systems, known for its reliability and durability.
• Compatibility: Backward compatibility with lower category elements (patch panels, RJ45 keystone modules) allows for easy expansion of existing network infrastructure.

Electrical and mechanical parameters

The patch cord has been designed to meet the requirements of modern computer networks. It has an impedance of 100 Ω and meets the ISO/IEC 11801 standard. The cable is characterized by low DC loop resistance (≤ 95 Ω/km) and high insulation (≥ 5000 MΩ *km). The bending radius is 4x the outer diameter of the cable, and the maximum tensile force is 80 N, which ensures its strength during installation and use. The operating temperature range is -20°C to +60°C, and the installation temperature range is 0°C to +50°C.
