This red Cat.6 patch cord from ALANTEC is a ready-to-use solution for network connections. It is suitable for installations carried out by professionals as well as for home computer networks. The cable provides stable data transmission up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) and is compatible with existing network infrastructure. Its compact size (0.5m) facilitates cable management, and the distinct color allows for quick identification in cable routes.

Construction and Application

U/UTP Cat.6 patch cord with PVC coating is an element designed to connect devices in LAN, WAN and SAN networks. It is perfect for connections between computers, switches, patch panels and other network devices. The cable construction based on four twisted pairs of wires ensures good signal quality, and the lack of shielding (U/UTP) reduces costs while maintaining adequate performance in environments with low levels of electromagnetic interference. It should be remembered that in places exposed to strong interference, shielded cables are recommended.

Key Features and Benefits

Category 6: Provides data transmission speeds up to 1 Gbps, meeting the requirements of modern networks.
U/UTP construction: Means no shielding, which translates to a lower price and cable flexibility – an ideal solution for less demanding installations.
PVC coating: Durable and flexible coating protects the cable from mechanical damage, but it should be remembered about its emission properties in case of fire (emits smoke and contains halogens).
Red color: Facilitates cable identification in structured cabling, speeding up troubleshooting and network modifications.
Length 0.5m: Optimal length for patch and subscriber connections, minimizes cable excess and improves installation aesthetics.
ALANTEC brand: A guarantee of quality from a Polish manufacturer of structured cabling systems A-LAN Technologie – products tested in the laboratory and covered by a system warranty.
Wire gauge 4x2x24/7AWG: Provides adequate electrical conductivity and cable flexibility.
Stranded wires: Increase cable flexibility, making it easier to lay and connect.

Additionally, the cable meets the requirements of the PoE (802.3af) standard, which means it can be used to power network devices via Ethernet cable, such as IP cameras or VoIP phones. However, remember to maintain a maximum transmission path length of 90m to maintain full Category 6 performance!
