ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cord, RJ-45, 10 m, Grey

The ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP patch cord is a high-performance network cable designed to provide reliable data transmission in Class E network environments. With a length of 10 meters, this cable features advanced S/FTP shielding, which effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring stable connectivity for your devices. The cable is equipped with high-quality RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts for optimal signal integrity and durability. It is fully compatible with Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, making it a versatile choice for powering network devices directly through the data line.

Advantages

This patch cord offers superior signal protection through its S/FTP (PiMF) construction, where each pair is individually shielded and an overall braid is applied to block external noise. The use of 26 AWG stranded copper wire ensures both flexibility and durability, allowing the cable to be routed through tight spaces or around corners without compromising performance. The inclusion of moulded kink protection at the connectors prevents damage to the cable ends, significantly extending the lifespan of the connection. Furthermore, the gold-plated contacts provide excellent corrosion resistance and reliable electrical contact over time, meeting the EIA/TIA 568 standard for consistent performance.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network switches or routers
• Powering IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points via PoE
• Professional office network installations
• Home network setups requiring high-speed data transfer

This cable may not be suitable for outdoor installations where it would be exposed to direct sunlight, moisture, or extreme temperature fluctuations, as it is designed for indoor use. Additionally, if your network infrastructure requires a specific color-coding scheme for cable management, the grey color may not align with your existing organizational system.

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat.6 (Class E)
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF)
• Length: 10 meters
• Connector type: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Contact plating: Gold
• Conductor material: 4-pair stranded copper wire (26 AWG)
• PoE support: Yes
• Color: Grey

To use this patch cord, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your network device until you hear a click, indicating that the locking tab is secure. Ensure that the cable is not pulled taut and that there is enough slack to prevent strain on the ports. When routing the cable, avoid sharp bends or pinching it under furniture to maintain the integrity of the internal shielding and conductors.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 10-meter length is sufficient for your specific installation distance
• Ensure your network devices support Cat.6 standards for optimal performance
• Check if your hardware requires PoE functionality
• Confirm that the grey color matches your aesthetic or organizational requirements

For a structured cabling system, we recommend using ROLINE Cat.6 installation cables, wall jacks, and patch panels that have been tested in combination to ensure full compliance with Class E specifications over a 100-meter channel.
