Networking Cable ROLINE 21.15.3320 0.15m Cat6a U/FTP Yellow

The ROLINE 21.15.3320 0.15m Cat6a U/FTP Yellow is a short patch cable engineered for high-speed data transmission in structured networks and device interconnections. Compliant with Cat6a performance parameters and fitted with RJ-45 connectors at both ends, the cable incorporates U/FTP shielding to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. Its 0.15 m length is suitable for compact installations where minimal slack is required, and the yellow jacket enables quick visual identification within cable bundles and patch panels.

Advantages

U/FTP shielding around individual pairs with an overall foil provides enhanced protection against interference compared with unshielded cables, supporting stable data transfer at higher frequencies. The short 0.15 m length minimizes signal attenuation and clutter in close-proximity setups. Standard RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with a wide range of network equipment. The bright yellow sheath improves cable management by allowing fast recognition of connection types or segments within a rack or workstation environment.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, patch panels and servers in dense rack environments
• Short interconnects between network devices on desktops or wall outlets
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required
• Color-coded cable management and rapid identification of network segments

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a performance class suitable for up to 10 Gbps over appropriate distances
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall unshielded with foiled twisted pairs) for reduced crosstalk
• Length: 0.15 m intended for short-distance patching
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends for standard Ethernet interfaces
• Jacket color: Yellow for visual identification and organized cabling

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use the 0.15 m cable to directly link adjacent devices or to create a short patch between a port on a switch and a nearby patch panel or wall outlet. Avoid excessive bending near the connector ends; maintain gentle curves and keep the cable free from sharp kinks. For best performance, ensure connectors are fully seated and that connected equipment supports Cat6a transmission rates.

Usage recommendations

For optimal signal integrity, route the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference such as power supplies or fluorescent lighting. Use the yellow color to implement a color-coded scheme for specific network segments or functions. When installing multiple shielded cables, ensure proper grounding practices in the rack or patch panel to preserve the effectiveness of the shielding.
