Patchcord U/UTP Cat.6 PVC 5.0m green ALANTEC KKU6ZIE5

Universal Cat.6 patch cord – reliability and convenience in data networks

This green Cat.6 patch cord from ALANTEC is a solid solution for building and expanding computer networks. It is suitable for installations carried out by professionals and home networks. It provides stable data transmission at speeds up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) and is compatible with existing network infrastructure.

Construction and application

The patch cord is made in U/UTP technology, which means that individual pairs of wires are not shielded, but the overall twisted construction minimizes interference. It uses stranded wires, which translates to flexibility and ease of cable routing. The PVC coating provides durability and resistance to mechanical damage, although it should be remembered about its properties in the event of a fire – it emits smoke and contains halogens. A length of 5 meters makes the cable ideal for connections between devices in close proximity, e.g. a computer and a router or switch. The green color makes it easier to identify the cable in the installation, especially useful with many connections.

Key features and benefits

• Category 6: Guarantees high-quality data transmission up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) and backward compatibility with older generation devices. Possibility of achieving speeds of 10 Gbps over shorter distances (up to 37-55m).
• U/UTP: Unshielded construction works well in environments with low levels of electromagnetic interference, and also lowers costs compared to shielded cables.
• Flexible stranded wires: Make it easier to lay the cable and connect to connectors, minimizing the risk of damage during installation.
• Durable PVC coating: Provides protection against mechanical damage and external factors.
• Length 5 meters: Optimal length for connections near network devices, eliminating the need for extension cords.
• Green color: Makes it easier to identify the cable in the installation and segregate network connections.
• ALANTEC brand: Product from a renowned Polish manufacturer of structured cabling systems, a guarantee of quality and reliability.

Electrical and mechanical parameters (for professionals)

The patch cord meets the required standards for electrical parameters, such as DC resistance loop (≤ 95 Ω/km), return loss (≤ 2%), insulation resistance (≥ 5000 MΩ *km) and signal propagation velocity (69%). It also has appropriate mechanical properties, such as bending radius (4 x ø ext) and operating temperature range (-20°C to +60°C). It is adapted to work with PoE devices (802.3af).
