Network patch cable ROLINE Cat.6A (Class EA) S/FTP PiMF LSOH PoE 0.3 m

ROLINE Cat.6A (Class EA) S/FTP PiMF patch cable, 0.3 m, provides a compact, shielded Ethernet connection designed for short links in data cabinets, patch panels and network devices. The cable supports 10 Gigabit+ speeds and Power over Ethernet (PoE), offering a reliable physical layer for high-density installations. The LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket reduces smoke and toxic gas emissions in case of fire, making it suitable for indoor use where safety and regulatory compliance are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction combines overall braid shielding with individually foil-wrapped pairs (Pair in Metal Foil), providing robust protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in electrically noisy environments. The Cat.6A (Class EA) performance rating enables higher bandwidth and reduced alien crosstalk for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. The short 0.3 m length minimizes untidy cable runs and signal attenuation for direct patching between adjacent ports. The LSOH jacket improves fire safety, and the cable is compatible with PoE standards for delivering power to connected devices.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches and patch panels within network cabinets
• Connecting network devices located in close proximity in offices or telecom racks
• High-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet links and PoE-powered equipment
• Installations requiring low-smoke, halogen-free cabling for safety compliance

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A (Class EA) performance level suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Shielding: S/FTP with overall braided shield and individual foil-wrapped twisted pairs (PiMF)
• Length: 0.3 m
• Jacket material: LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Connector type: standard RJ45 modular plugs on both ends
• Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivery
• Conductor configuration: twisted pair design optimized for reduced crosstalk

How to use

Use this 0.3 m patch cable to connect adjacent ports on switches, patch panels and network devices. Ensure connectors are fully inserted into RJ45 ports until a click is felt to secure the electrical contact. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive twisting of the cable and keep the cable run within recommended bend radius limits. When deploying in racks or cabinets, route the cable to prevent strain on the plugs and maintain separation from unshielded power cabling where possible.

Usage recommendations

For optimal signal integrity, use this shielded Cat.6A S/FTP cable in environments with potential electromagnetic interference or where high-density cabling may cause alien crosstalk. Verify PoE power requirements of connected devices and ensure compatible networking equipment and grounding practices to maintain shield effectiveness.
