This grey patchcord from Alantec, with a length of 5 meters, is a reliable solution for building computer networks. It will work both in distribution points and for direct connections of subscriber devices. The cable made in U/UTP category 6 standard ensures stable data transmission up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) and is compatible with earlier standards.

Construction and application

The cable consists of four twisted pairs of stranded wires, insulated with polyethylene and protected by separators. The lack of shielding (U/UTP) makes it more flexible and easier to install, but requires caution when routing near sources of electromagnetic interference. The PVC coating provides durability and resistance to mechanical damage, although it should be remembered about its properties in case of fire - it emits smoke and contains halogens.

The cable is ideal for:

connecting computers to network sockets,
connecting switches to patch panels,
creating connections between various network devices.
LAN, WAN and SAN network installations

Advantages and benefits

Performance: Category 6 guarantees data transmission at speeds up to 1 Gbps, and even up to 10 Gbps over shorter distances.
Compatibility: Backward compatibility with lower category elements (e.g. cat. 5e patch panels) facilitates the modernization of existing installations.
Flexibility: The lack of shielding makes it easier to route the cable and install it in tight spaces.
Durability: Made of high-quality materials by a renowned manufacturer - A-LAN Technologie (Alantec brand).
Resistance: The grey PVC coating is resistant to dirt and mechanical damage.
PoE support: Support for the 802.3af standard enables powering devices over Ethernet cable (Power over Ethernet).

Remember to maintain the maximum cable length (90m) for optimal data transmission performance according to ISO/IEC 11801 standard. In case of electromagnetic interference, maintain an appropriate distance from potential sources of interference.
