ROLINE Cat.6 UTP PoE Patch Cable, Blue, 0.5 m 21.51.1524

In modern office and data center environments, reliable network connectivity is essential, yet many installations suffer from interference, crosstalk, and power delivery limitations. The ROLINE Cat.6 UTP PoE Patch Cable directly addresses these challenges by providing a high-performance link that supports both data and Power over Ethernet in a compact, flexible form. With a length of 0.5 m, it is ideal for patching between adjacent ports on patch panels, switches, and servers, reducing cable clutter and improving airflow. This cable meets Category 6 / Class E specifications, ensuring a bandwidth of up to 250 MHz and data transfer rates up to 1 Gbps, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet applications. Its unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction is optimized for environments with low electromagnetic interference, while the stranded copper conductors (AWG 24/7) provide excellent flexibility and durability for frequent reconnections. The gold-plated RJ45 connectors ensure reliable contact and corrosion resistance, and the molded snagless boots protect the locking tabs during installation. This cable is PoE compatible, allowing it to carry power to devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points when used with PoE switches or injectors. The blue PVC jacket is both durable and easy to identify in dense cabling setups.

Who is it for

This patch cable is designed for IT professionals, network administrators, and system integrators who need a dependable, short-length Cat.6 cable for high-density patching in data centers, server rooms, and office networks. It is also suitable for home users and small businesses that require a compact, PoE-capable cable for connecting network devices in tight spaces. Its flexibility and snagless design make it ideal for frequent moves, adds, and changes.

Tips

For optimal performance, use this cable in environments with minimal electromagnetic interference, as UTP cables are not shielded. Pair it with PoE switches or injectors to power compatible devices without the need for separate power supplies. When installing, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling to maintain signal integrity. The snagless boots allow for easy insertion and removal in high-density patch panels without damaging the connectors.
