This 7-meter patchcord from Alantec is a reliable solution for building and expanding computer networks. Made to Cat. 6 standard, it provides stable data transmission at speeds up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet). The cable is particularly useful in distribution points and subscriber connections, allowing easy connection of devices such as computers, switches, and patch panels.

Construction and shielding for stable transmission

The F/UTP cable is characterized by shielding in the form of an aluminum foil surrounding the entire cable core, which significantly reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI). An additional grounding wire under the shield increases resistance to interference, ensuring higher quality and data transmission security. This construction allows the cable to be routed near electrical wires and other sources of interference without fear of signal degradation.

Practical features and application

Made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), the cable is flexible and durable, making it easy to install and operate. The gray coating is dirt-resistant, and the bright color makes it easy to identify in cable routes. Cat. 6 cable is backward compatible with lower category elements, allowing it to be used in existing installations. Compliance with 802.3af standard enables powering PoE (Power over Ethernet) devices. This means that a single cable can be used for both data transmission and device power, simplifying installation and reducing the number of cables needed.
