ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cord, RJ-45, PoE, 1 m, Grey

The ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP patch cord is a high-performance network cable engineered for reliable data transmission in Class E environments. Measuring 1 meter in length, this grey cable features advanced S/FTP (PiMF) shielding, which effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Equipped with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, it ensures optimal signal integrity and long-term durability. The cable is fully compatible with Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, making it a versatile solution for powering and connecting network devices.

Advantages

This patch cord offers superior protection against external interference thanks to its comprehensive S/FTP shielding, where each pair is individually foiled and an overall braid is applied. The use of high-quality stranded copper wire ensures excellent flexibility, allowing for easy installation in tight spaces or narrow cable management systems. The integrated moulded kink protection prevents damage to the cable at the connector interface, significantly extending its service life. Furthermore, the gold-plated contacts provide a stable, corrosion-resistant connection, ensuring consistent performance for demanding network tasks.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network switches or routers
• Powering PoE-enabled devices such as IP cameras or VoIP phones
• Professional office network installations
• Home office setups requiring stable Gigabit Ethernet connections

When it may not be suitable

This 1-meter cable is not intended for long-distance runs between rooms or across large office floors. If your setup requires connecting devices located several meters apart, a longer cable length should be selected to avoid tension or the need for unnecessary extensions.

How to use

To use the ROLINE Cat.6 patch cord, 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 secure. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its natural flexibility limit to maintain signal quality. When connecting PoE devices, verify that both the source equipment and the target device support the required power standards to ensure safe operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length to ensure the cable reaches comfortably between devices
• Check if your network hardware supports Cat.6 standards for optimal speed
• Confirm that your equipment requires shielded cables if you are operating in an environment with high electromagnetic interference

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance in a structured cabling system, we recommend using this patch cord in conjunction with compatible ROLINE Cat.6 shielded wall jacks and patch panels. This combination has been laboratory-tested to meet Class E specifications in channels up to 100 meters.
