Patch Cord ROLINE S/FTP Cat6, halogen-free, green, RJ-45–RJ-45, 5 m

ROLINE S/FTP Cat6 patch cord, halogen-free, 5 m, designed for reliable wired network connections between switches, patch panels and endpoints. The cable features S/FTP shielding with individually screened twisted pairs plus an overall braid to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. Both ends are terminated with RJ-45 plugs with gold-plated contacts and 1:1 EIA/TIA 568 wiring, making this patch cord suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and structured cabling installations where Cat6 performance is required.

Advantages

The double shielding (individually foil-screened pairs plus full braid) provides robust protection against EMI and near-end crosstalk, improving signal integrity in dense rack or industrial environments. Gold-plated contacts ensure corrosion resistance and stable electrical contact. The halogen-free, flame-retardant and low-smoke jacket improves safety in enclosed spaces. A moulded strain-relief design and flexible stranded copper construction allow for easy routing and durable performance in areas with limited bend radius.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, routers and network devices
• Patching between network panels and active equipment in data cabinets
• Workstation and VoIP phone connections requiring Cat6 performance
• Environments with elevated EMI where screened cables are needed

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (S/FTP, S-STP) with individually shielded pairs and overall braid
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 plug to RJ-45 plug, 1:1 wiring (EIA/TIA 568)
• Conductor: 4-pair stranded copper
• Contacts: gold-plated
• Jacket: halogen-free, flame-retardant, low-smoke
• Color: green
• Flexible design with moulded kink/strain relief for narrow bends

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network device (switch, router or patch panel) and the other RJ-45 end to the target device or patch point. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. Route the cable avoiding sharp edges and excessive pulling; use cable management in racks or trays to maintain bend radii and reduce mechanical stress. The 1:1 EIA/TIA 568 wiring and Cat6 construction support standard network handovers without additional configuration.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tightly coiling the cable and maintain recommended bend radius. Use screened cable only where grounding practices are observed to take full advantage of the S/FTP shielding. In confined cabinet spaces, pair with proper cable management and avoid proximity to high-voltage power cables to minimize interference.
