IRENIS Cat 6 UTP Flat Patch cord | CAT6-2000

Very flexible Cat 6 UTP bare copper flat patch cord for space-saving installations, in various colors and lengths.

The IRENIS CAT6-2000 series Category 6 UTP Flat and Flexible Patch Cord is a high-performance networking cable designed to provide reliable data transmission at speeds up to 1 gigabit per second (1Gbps) over distances up to 100 meters (328 feet). It adheres to the Cat 6 standard, which is widely used for networking applications in both residential and commercial environments. This patch cord features a flat and flexible design, which distinguishes it from traditional round cables and makes it easier to install and manage in tight spaces.

Key Features:

1. Category 6 (Cat 6): This cable is rated for high-speed data transmission up to 1Gbps, making it suitable for a wide range of general-purpose networking tasks, including internet browsing, streaming, file sharing, and VoIP (Voice over IP) services. It also operates at frequencies of up to 250 MHz.
2. U/UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair): This design features four twisted pairs of wires, without additional shielding around each pair or the entire cable. The twisted pairs help to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk (signal interference between the pairs), ensuring stable performance in typical environments without high levels of external interference.
3. Flat Design: The flat cable construction makes it thinner and more space-efficient compared to round cables. This feature is particularly useful when you need to route cables in confined spaces, such as along walls, under carpets, or behind furniture.
4. Flexible Construction: The flexibility of the cable allows for easy handling, bending, and installation in tight or awkward spaces. This makes it well-suited for environments where conventional, rigid cables may be difficult to manage.
5. Patch Cord: These are typically short cables used to connect devices like computers, routers, switches, and patch panels within a network. Patch cords are ideal for short-distance connections, typically in structured cabling setups.

Application Areas:

1. Home Networking: For residential setups where high-speed internet, gaming, and streaming are common, Cat 6 U/UTP flat and flexible patch cords provide reliable connections between devices like routers, computers, game consoles, and media players.
2. Office Networks: In commercial office environments, these patch cords are used to connect network equipment like computers, printers, and switches, ensuring efficient communication within the local area network (LAN).
3. Data Centers: While not as high-performance as Cat 6A or Cat 7 cables, these cords can still be used in data centers for low to medium traffic applications where 1Gbps speeds suffice for certain devices or links between servers and switches.
4. Telecommunications: These patch cords can be used in telecommunications networks to connect different components, offering reliable connections in environments where space-saving and flexibility are needed.
5. Educational Institutions: In schools and universities, these patch cords are ideal for connecting classroom devices, projectors, and network equipment, allowing for quick and easy installations in educational settings.
6. Commercial Spaces: Retail stores, warehouses, and other commercial environments can use these patch cords for networking purposes, especially in areas with limited space or where cables need to be routed around furniture and equipment.

Benefits:

1. Space-Saving Design: The flat, slim profile of the cable allows it to be routed along floors, walls, or ceilings without taking up much space. It is perfect for environments where cables need to be discreet and efficient, such as in offices or behind entertainment systems.
2. Easy Installation and Management: The flat construction makes these cables easier to bend and route in tight spaces, reducing the need for bulky cable trays or additional tools. It’s particularly beneficial for installations in confined areas or places with limited cable access.
3. Improved Cable Organization: The flat design makes it easier to keep cables organized and neatly managed, preventing tangling and creating a cleaner, more organized workspace. This can improve overall cable management in network setups, making it easier to trace and modify connections.
4. Cost-Effective: While offering reliable performance for most standard networking applications, Cat 6 U/UTP flat patch cords are generally more affordable compared to higher-performance cables (like Cat 6A or Cat 7). This makes them a good choice for general-purpose networking without the need for excessive budget allocation.
5. Reliable Performance: Even without additional shielding, the U/UTP construction provides sufficient protection against interference for typical home and office network environments. The twisted pair design helps maintain data integrity and minimizes signal degradation over short distances.
6. Flexibility: The flexible nature of the cable makes it easy to install in spaces with tight corners or around obstacles. This is especially useful in dynamic environments where installations might change or require periodic reconfiguration.
7. Durability: These patch cords are designed for long-term use. Despite the flat design, they are constructed to withstand regular plugging and unplugging, making them suitable for environments where connections may need to be frequently adjusted.
