This patch cord from A-LAN, 7 meters long and grey in color, is a solid solution for building and expanding computer networks. Made to U/UTP category 6 standard, it provides reliable data transmission at speeds up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet). It is suitable for both home installations and professional office or industrial networks.

The cable is designed for cross-connections in distribution points and for subscriber connections – i.e. connecting computers, switches to patch panels and other network devices. Its versatility will be appreciated by both installers and end users.

Construction and parameters for demanding applications

The patch cord is made of multi-strand conductors insulated with polyethylene, which ensures flexibility and ease of installation. The lack of shielding (U/UTP) makes it more susceptible to electromagnetic interference, so it is recommended to use it away from sources of interference or in places with low levels of interference. The PVC (polyvinyl chloride) coating is durable and resistant to mechanical damage, although it should be remembered that it releases smoke and halogens in case of fire.

The cable meets the requirements of category 6 (class E), which guarantees stable data transmission up to 250 MHz. The conductor cross-section is 4x2x24/7 AWG. Electrical parameters have been precisely selected to ensure optimal signal quality – DC loop resistance does not exceed 95 Ω/km, and insulation resistance is at least 5000 MΩ*km. The cable supports PoE (802.3af) standard, allowing network devices to be powered through the connection cable.

Practical advantages for installers and users

Ready to use: The patch cord is factory-terminated with RJ45 connectors, eliminating the need to crimp the cable yourself – saving time and minimizing the risk of errors during installation.
Flexibility: Multi-strand conductors make it easy to lay the cable even in tight spaces.
Resistance: The PVC coating protects the cable from mechanical damage and external factors.
Compatibility: Category 6 cable is backward compatible with lower category elements (e.g. patch panels or RJ45 keystone modules).
Identification: The grey color makes it easy to identify the cable in cable routes – you can also use colored Velcro straps for better organization.
Quality guarantee: A-LAN brand product, a valued Polish manufacturer of structured cabling systems, which confirms its durability and reliability.
