ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cord, RJ-45, PoE, 0.3 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 0.3 meters in length, this cable features advanced S/FTP shielding to effectively minimize electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. It is designed to support Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, making it a versatile choice for powering network devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points directly through the data connection.

Advantages

This patch cord utilizes high-quality stranded copper wire in a 4-pair construction, ensuring excellent signal integrity and flexibility for routing in tight spaces. The inclusion of gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 connectors provides superior corrosion resistance and long-term connection stability. Furthermore, the cable is equipped with moulded kink protection, which significantly enhances its durability and prevents damage to the connector interface during frequent handling or tight bending.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches to patch panels in server racks
• Linking VoIP phones and IP cameras to PoE-enabled network ports
• Short-distance connections between routers and modems
• Home office and professional IT network setups

When it may not be suitable

This cable is 0.3 meters long, which makes it unsuitable for long-distance networking requirements where a longer reach is necessary. It is specifically designed for short-range patching and should not be used as a primary horizontal cabling solution for long cable runs between rooms or floors.

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat.6 (Class E)
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF)
• Length: 0.3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Contact plating: Gold
• Wiring standard: EIA/TIA 568 (1:1)
• Conductor material: Stranded copper wire
• PoE support: Yes

How to use

To use the ROLINE Cat.6 patch cord, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your device or patch panel until you hear a click, indicating that the locking tab is secure. Ensure that the cable is not pulled taut and that there is sufficient slack to prevent strain on the ports. The flexible nature of the cable allows for easy routing within dense server cabinets or behind office equipment.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 0.3-meter length is sufficient for your specific connection needs.
• Ensure your network equipment supports Cat.6 standards for optimal performance.
• Check if your devices require PoE power delivery to ensure compatibility.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance in a structured cabling system, we recommend using this patch cord in conjunction with shielded Cat.6 wall jacks and patch panels. This cable has been tested in a 100-meter channel configuration to ensure full compliance with Class E specifications.
