Patchcord U/UTP Cat.6 PVC 1.0m grey ALANTEC KKU6SZA1

Universal Category 6 connection cable for demanding installations

This Category 6 patch cord from ALANTEC is a reliable solution for building computer networks, both in distribution points and in subscriber installations. It is suitable for connecting devices in server rooms and connecting user workstations. The cable is designed for high performance and durability, resulting in a stable connection and trouble-free data transmission.

Construction and parameters ensuring performance

The U/UTP Cat 6 cable is characterized by a construction that ensures good signal quality. It uses stranded conductors insulated with polyethylene, twisted in pairs with a separator, which minimizes the risk of interference. The lack of shielding (U/UTP) makes it more flexible and easier to install, but requires caution when routing near sources of electromagnetic interference. Made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), it is durable and resistant to mechanical damage, but it is important to remember its properties in the event of a fire - it emits smoke and contains halogens. A length of 1.0 meter makes it ideal for short connections between devices.

Key features and benefits

• Category 6: Supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) and potentially 10 Gbps over shorter distances (up to 37-55m).
• U/UTP construction: Provides flexibility and ease of installation, but requires avoiding strong electromagnetic interference.
• PVC jacket: Durable and flexible cable protection, typical for indoor installations.
• Gray color: Makes it easier to identify the cable in the installation and reduces the visibility of dirt.
• ALANTEC brand: A guarantee of quality from a Polish manufacturer of structured cabling systems A-LAN Technologie – a company with many years of experience and independent product certifications.
• AWG 4x2x24/7 cross-section: Suitable for most network applications, provides good electrical conductivity.
• PoE (802.3af) compliant: Ability to power devices over Ethernet cable (e.g., IP cameras).

This cable is backward compatible with lower category elements (patch panels, RJ45 keystone modules), which makes it easier to upgrade existing networks. However, remember to maintain the maximum cable length (90m) along with the terminations (up to 5m each) to maintain the declared data transmission parameters.
