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

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 red cable features double shielding, combining an overall braid with individual foil-wrapped pairs to effectively minimize electromagnetic interference and signal loss. Equipped with durable RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts, it ensures a stable and long-lasting connection for both professional and home network setups.

Advantages

This patch cord offers superior signal integrity due to its S/FTP construction, which provides excellent protection against crosstalk and external interference. The inclusion of moulded kink protection enhances the cable's durability, preventing damage at the connector points during frequent handling. Its flexible design allows for easy routing in tight spaces, while the support for Power over Ethernet (PoE) makes it a versatile choice for powering network devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points directly through the data cable.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network switches or routers
• Powering PoE-enabled devices like IP cameras and access points
• Home and office local area network (LAN) installations
• Environments requiring high-speed data transmission with minimal interference

When it may not be suitable

This cable is 1.5 meters in length, which may be insufficient for connecting devices located in different rooms or across large office spaces. Additionally, while it is suitable for standard Class E network applications, it may not be the optimal choice for high-bandwidth 10GBASE-T requirements over long distances where Cat.6A or higher standards are recommended.

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat.6 (Class E)
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Connectors: 2x RJ-45 (male)
• Contact plating: Gold
• Conductor material: Stranded copper wire (26 AWG)
• Color: Red
• PoE support: Yes

How to use

To use the ROLINE Cat.6 patch cord, simply insert one of the RJ-45 connectors into the network port of your device, such as a computer, printer, or IP camera, until you hear a click. Connect the opposite end to your network switch, router, or wall outlet. Ensure the cable is not bent at an angle sharper than its minimum bend radius to maintain optimal performance. The cable is ready for immediate use and does not require any configuration.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 1.5-meter length is sufficient for your specific setup.
• Ensure your network equipment supports Cat.6 standards to achieve maximum performance.
• Check if your devices require PoE power delivery.
• Confirm that the red color fits your cable management or color-coding scheme.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance in structured cabling systems, it is recommended to use high-quality components such as shielded wall jacks and patch panels. Regularly inspect the cable for physical damage and ensure that connectors are kept clean and free of dust to maintain stable network connectivity.
