ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cord, RJ-45, PoE, 1.5 m, Orange

The ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP patch cord is a high-performance network cable engineered for reliable data transmission in Class E environments. This 1.5-meter cable features advanced S/FTP (PiMF) shielding, which effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring signal integrity. Equipped with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, it provides excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, making it a dependable choice for both professional and home network infrastructures.

Advantages

This patch cord offers superior durability thanks to its integrated moulded kink protection, which prevents damage at the connector interface during frequent handling. The cable is constructed with 4-pair stranded copper wire, providing the necessary flexibility for routing in tight spaces or narrow cable trays without compromising performance. Furthermore, its support for Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows for the convenient powering of network devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points directly through the data cable, simplifying installation and reducing the need for additional power supplies.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network switches or routers
• Powering PoE-enabled devices like IP cameras and access points
• High-speed data transmission in home and office networks
• Environments requiring high shielding against electromagnetic interference

This cable may not be suitable for outdoor installations, as it is designed for indoor use and lacks the necessary weather-resistant jacket. Additionally, for extremely long-distance network runs exceeding the standard channel limits, this patch cord should only be used as a connection component within a properly structured cabling system rather than as a primary long-distance transmission medium.

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat.6 (Class E)
• Shielding type: S/FTP (PiMF)
• Length: 1.5 meters
• Connector type: RJ-45 (Male to Male)
• Contact plating: Gold
• Conductor material: Stranded copper wire
• PoE support: Yes
• Color: Orange

To use this patch cord, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your device until you hear a distinct click, indicating that the locking tab is engaged. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum radius to maintain optimal signal quality. When disconnecting, gently press the locking tab down before pulling the plug from the port to avoid damaging the connector or the socket.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length to ensure 1.5 meters is sufficient for your setup
• Check if your network devices support the Cat.6 standard for optimal performance
• Confirm that your hardware supports PoE if you intend to use this feature
• Ensure the orange color meets your cable management or identification requirements

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance in a structured cabling system, it is recommended to pair this patch cord with high-quality shielded wall jacks and patch panels that meet Class E specifications. Regularly inspect the cable for physical damage to maintain consistent network speeds.
