Networking Cable ROLINE 21.15.2625 Yellow 5m Cat6 S/FTP

The ROLINE 21.15.2625 Yellow 5m Cat6 S/FTP networking cable is a Category 6 patch cable engineered for reliable wired Ethernet connections. It measures 5 meters in length and is supplied with RJ-45 plugs on both ends. The S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) construction combines an overall shield with individually foiled pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting stable data transmission in home or office environments. The cable's yellow jacket provides clear visual identification in structured cabling setups.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding improves signal integrity by protecting the twisted pairs from external noise sources, which helps maintain consistent network speeds and reduces packet loss. As a Cat6 cable, it supports higher bandwidths and better performance than lower category cables for applications up to Gigabit Ethernet and short-distance 10 Gigabit Ethernet where Cat6 is applicable. The RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure compatibility with standard network ports and make the cable ready for immediate use. The 5 m length offers flexibility for typical desk-to-switch or equipment-to-wall outlet connections, while the yellow colour aids cable management and quick identification.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, laptops or network printers to a switch or router
• Patch panel to switch or wall outlet to network device connections
• Wiring in home offices, small business networks, and server racks where shielded cabling is preferred
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference that benefit from S/FTP shielding

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6
• Shielding type: S/FTP (overall shield with individually foiled pairs)
• Length: 5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Yellow

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other into a switch, router, patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure connection. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive twisting of the cable, and keep it routed away from high-voltage power lines or sources of strong electromagnetic interference when possible.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6 S/FTP cable for critical network links where reduced interference is needed. Verify that connected equipment supports the intended network speed; for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over longer distances, consider higher-category cables if required. Regularly inspect connectors for damage and replace the cable if the jacket or plugs show wear that could affect signal quality.
