This patch cord from Alantec, made in category 6, is a reliable element of network infrastructure. It will work both in distribution points and for direct subscriber connections. Its construction ensures stable data transmission, and the gray coating makes it easier to identify in the cabling.

Construction and application

Cat 6 U/UTP patch cord is a short cable used to connect devices in a computer network – a computer to a network socket, a switch to a patch panel, or two network devices together. Category 6 guarantees a bandwidth of up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet), and backward compatibility allows it to work with elements of older generations. This means that one cable can support many different network configurations.

This cable is particularly useful where flexibility and ease of modification of connections are required. It allows for quick changes in network configuration without the need for complex installation work.

Advantages and characteristic features

Category 6: Provides high-quality data transmission up to 1000 Mbps, and even up to 10 Gbps over shorter distances.
U/UTP shielding: The lack of shielding makes the cable more flexible and easier to install, but requires maintaining an appropriate distance from sources of electromagnetic interference.
PVC coating: Durable polyvinyl chloride coating provides protection against mechanical damage and external factors. It should be remembered that PVC emits smoke in the event of a fire and contains halogens – therefore, in critical applications, it is worth considering cables with LSOH coating.
Gray color: Makes it easier to identify the cable in the installation and allows it to be easily distinguished from other wires.
Alantec brand: A guarantee of quality and reliability from the Polish manufacturer of structured cabling systems A-LAN Technologie. The company has been supplying high-class products to the market for years, confirmed by independent laboratory tests.
Construction: The cable has four twisted pairs of stranded wires with a pair separator for better reduction of interference.
AWG cross-section: 4x2x24/7AWG provides adequate conductivity and cable flexibility.
PoE resistance: Supports 802.3af Power over Ethernet standard, allowing devices to be powered via network cable.

Let's remember to maintain a maximum cable length (transmission path) of no more than 90m to maintain the declared data transmission parameters in accordance with the ISO/IEC 11801 standard.
