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

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 shielding, which utilizes both individual pair shielding and an overall braid to effectively minimize electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Designed with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors and 26 AWG stranded copper wire, it ensures stable connectivity and signal integrity for demanding network applications.

Advantages

This patch cord offers superior signal protection through its S/FTP construction, making it highly resistant to external interference. The inclusion of moulded kink protection enhances the durability of the cable, preventing damage at the connector points during frequent handling. Its flexible design allows for easy installation in tight spaces, while the gold-plated contacts provide excellent corrosion resistance and long-term electrical conductivity. Furthermore, the cable is fully compatible with Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards, allowing it to transmit both data and power to compatible network devices such as IP cameras or wireless access points.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network switches or routers
• Powering devices via Power over Ethernet (PoE)
• Professional office network installations
• Home network setups requiring high-speed data transfer

When it may not be suitable

This cable is 1.5 meters in length, which may be insufficient for long-distance connections between rooms or across large office floors. Additionally, while it is flexible, it is intended for standard indoor networking and is not designed for outdoor use or environments with extreme temperature fluctuations.

• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Conductor material: Stranded copper wire (26 AWG)
• Contact plating: Gold
• PoE support: Yes
• Colour: Green

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device until you hear a distinct click, indicating that the locking tab is engaged. Ensure that the cable is not pulled taut or bent at an angle sharper than its minimum bend radius to maintain optimal performance. When disconnecting, press the plastic 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 length for your specific setup to ensure 1.5 meters is sufficient.
• Check if your network hardware supports Cat.6 standards to maximize performance.
• Confirm that your PoE-enabled devices fall within the power delivery specifications supported by this cable.

For optimal performance in a structured cabling system, it is recommended to use this patch cord in conjunction with compatible shielded Cat.6 wall jacks and patch panels.
