ROLINE S/FTP Cat.6 Patch Cord, RJ-45, PoE, 0.3 m, Black

The ROLINE S/FTP Cat.6 patch cord is a high-performance network cable engineered for reliable data transmission in Class E environments. This cable features double shielding, known as S/FTP (PiMF), which effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring stable and high-speed connectivity. With its 0.3-meter length and flexible construction, it is an excellent choice for organizing connections within server racks or between closely positioned office network devices.

Advantages

This patch cord offers superior signal integrity thanks to its high-quality stranded copper wire construction and gold-plated RJ-45 connector contacts, which provide excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. The inclusion of moulded kink protection enhances the durability of the cable, preventing damage at the connection points during frequent handling. Furthermore, the cable is fully compatible with Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, allowing it to transmit both data and power to compatible network devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches and routers in server racks
• Linking patch panels to active network equipment
• Powering PoE-enabled devices like IP phones and access points
• Short-distance data connections in office or home network setups

When it may not be suitable

This cable is 0.3 meters long, which makes it unsuitable for connecting devices located far apart or for long-distance cable runs across rooms. Additionally, while it supports standard Cat.6 performance, it may not be the optimal choice for high-bandwidth environments requiring Cat.6A or Cat.7 standards if future-proofing for 10Gbps speeds over longer distances is a primary requirement.

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat.6 (Class E)
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF)
• Connector type: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Contact plating: Gold
• Cable length: 0.3 m
• Wire construction: 4-pair stranded copper, 26 AWG
• PoE support: Yes
• Colour: Black

How to use

To use the ROLINE patch cord, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device until you hear a click, ensuring a secure connection. The cable is designed for plug-and-play operation, requiring no additional configuration. Due to its short length and flexible design, it is ideal for neat cable management in confined spaces, such as inside a server cabinet or behind a desk, where excess cable length would otherwise cause clutter.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 0.3-meter length is sufficient for your specific connection distance.
• Verify that your network equipment supports the Cat.6 standard for optimal performance.
• Check if your devices require PoE functionality to ensure full compatibility.

Usage recommendations: For maintaining a high-performance network, we recommend using this patch cord in conjunction with other shielded Cat.6 components, such as ROLINE patch panels and wall jacks, to ensure the entire signal path remains compliant with Class E specifications.
