Networking Cable ROLINE 21.15.2613 Red 3m Cat6 S/FTP

The ROLINE 21.15.2613 Red 3m Cat6 S/FTP networking cable is a 3-meter patch lead designed for reliable Ethernet connections. Built to Cat6 standards with S/FTP shielding and terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, the cable supports high-speed data transmission while reducing external electromagnetic interference. Its red jacket aids cable identification in structured cabling setups and is suitable for residential and professional network environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs to provide improved protection against crosstalk and external noise compared with unshielded variants. Cat6 specification ensures performance suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet links depending on network equipment. Factory-terminated RJ-45 plugs provide a secure and consistent connection, while the 3 m length offers flexible placement between switches, routers, network outlets, and devices. The coloured jacket simplifies visual management in patch panels and cable runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, printers, and IP devices to switches or routers
• Patching between network equipment in racks or patch panels
• Home office and small business Ethernet networks
• Temporary or permanent workstation cabling where cable identification is needed

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually foil‑shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 3 m
• Outer jacket colour: Red
• Typical use: Ethernet networking, patching and device interconnect

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device (PC, printer, IP camera, etc.) and the other connector into the corresponding port on a switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable to preserve signal integrity. For rack or patch panel installations, route the cable alongside other patch leads using cable management accessories to prevent strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference such as large motors or unshielded power cabling. When installing in high-density environments, verify the supported link length and network equipment capabilities to match Cat6 performance. Use the coloured jacket to label connections or segregate network segments for easier maintenance.
