Networking Cable ROLINE 21.15.3352 0.5m Cat6a U/FTP RJ-45

The ROLINE 21.15.3352 0.5m Cat6a U/FTP RJ-45 networking cable is designed for short-range high-speed connections in structured cabling and device interconnects. Constructed to Cat6a performance, the cable supports higher bandwidth and improved signal integrity compared with lower-category cables. U/FTP shielding around each pair reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, while standard RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with network switches, patch panels, routers and end devices. The compact 0.5 m length is suitable for patching between nearby ports and minimizing excess cable in racks or desktop setups.

Advantages

This Cat6a U/FTP cable provides enhanced noise protection through foil shielding of individual pairs, which helps maintain stable throughput in environments with potential interference from nearby electrical equipment. The RJ-45 terminations deliver universal connectivity for Ethernet networks up to Cat6a specifications. The short 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter, improves airflow in rack setups and decreases signal attenuation over short distances. The black outer jacket offers a neutral appearance that integrates with most installations.

Suitable for

• Patching between adjacent switch ports in server racks or networking cabinets
• Connecting desktop PCs, VoIP phones or access points to nearby wall jacks or switches
• Short interconnects behind networked AV equipment or media consoles
• Environments where reduced interference and reliable gigabit+ speeds are required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall unshielded with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Black

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until it clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the 0.5 m cable for short patch runs where minimal slack is desired, for example between adjacent switch ports or from a wall outlet to a desk device. Avoid tight bends at the connector transition and maintain the recommended bend radius for Cat6a cabling to preserve performance. If routing near sources of strong electromagnetic interference, position the cable to maximize separation or use proper cable management to reduce potential signal degradation.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this Cat6a U/FTP cable in short-distance, high-density patching scenarios where shielding and reliable gigabit or higher performance are needed. Do not exceed the intended bend radius and avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or mechanical stress to maintain signal integrity.
