ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cord, RJ-45, PoE, 20 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. Spanning 20 meters, this cable features advanced S/FTP (PiMF) shielding, which effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk to ensure stable network performance. Designed with high-quality materials, including 26 AWG bare copper wire and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, it provides excellent signal integrity for demanding professional and home network setups.

Advantages

This cable offers exceptional durability thanks to its integrated moulded kink protection, which prevents damage at the connector points during installation. The flexible construction allows for easy routing in tight spaces or narrow cable ducts without compromising the internal wire structure. Furthermore, 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 connection. The gold-plated contacts ensure long-term resistance to corrosion and maintain optimal electrical conductivity.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, servers, and switches in office networks
• Powering PoE-enabled devices like IP cameras and access points
• Home network installations requiring high-speed data transfer
• Environments where electromagnetic interference protection is necessary

This cable may not be suitable for outdoor installations, as it is designed for indoor use and lacks specific weather-resistant or UV-protected jacketing. Additionally, for extremely long-distance runs exceeding the standard channel specifications, specialized infrastructure cabling may be required instead of standard patch cords.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 20 m
• Cable standard: Cat.6 (Class E)
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF)
• Connector type: RJ-45 (Male to Male)
• Wire gauge: 26 AWG
• Contact plating: Gold
• PoE support: Yes
• Colour: Grey

To use this patch cord, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device until you hear a distinct click. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum radius to maintain signal quality. When connecting to PoE devices, verify that your network switch or power injector is correctly configured to provide the necessary power output. The cable is designed for a 1:1 connection, making it compatible with standard networking equipment following the EIA/TIA 568 wiring scheme.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length to ensure the 20-meter cable is sufficient for your setup
• Confirm that your network hardware supports Cat.6 standards for optimal performance
• Check if your devices require PoE power delivery
• Ensure the grey colour matches your existing cable management aesthetic

For a structured cabling system, we recommend using compatible ROLINE Cat.6 components, such as shielded wall jacks and patch panels, to maintain Class E performance across your entire network channel.
