Networking Cable ROLINE 21.15.2630 Green 0.5m Cat6 S/FTP

The ROLINE 21.15.2630 Green 0.5m Cat6 S/FTP is a short patch cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections in network installations where space is limited. Compliant with Cat6 performance levels and equipped with S/FTP shielding, this 0.5 m cable reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference while maintaining high data transfer integrity. Both ends are fitted with standard RJ-45 connectors in a compact design and the green jacket makes cable identification simple in dense cabling environments.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individually braided shields around each twisted pair to provide improved protection against external interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk. The Cat6 specification supports higher frequencies and improved signal-to-noise ratio compared with previous categories, suitable for gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed applications over short distances. A 0.5 m length keeps connections tidy and reduces excess cable clutter in racks, patch panels, or between adjacent devices. The RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with common network ports.

Suitable for

• Connecting network devices in server racks and patch panels where short runs are required
• Linking switches, routers, and wall ports in wiring closets
• Desktop or workstation connections with minimal cable slack
• Environments where color-coded cabling improves identification and management

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually braided pair shields)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Conductor arrangement: twisted pairs
• Jacket colour: green

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks to ensure a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Use the 0.5 m cable for short patching between devices, avoiding sharp bends or kinks that can damage internal conductors or reduce shielding effectiveness. Route the cable so it does not run parallel and close to high-voltage power lines to minimize potential interference. When connecting to shielded equipment, ensure proper grounding of the network chassis to benefit from the S/FTP shielding.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6 S/FTP cable for short, high-speed interconnections such as patch panel to switch links or adjacent device connections. Verify that connected devices support the intended network speed and that shielded installations share a common grounding practice to maintain the shielding advantage.
