ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cord, RJ-45, PoE, 0.5 m, Red

The ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP patch cord is a high-performance network cable engineered for reliable data transmission in Class E environments. Measuring 0.5 meters in length, this red cable features double shielding (S/FTP) to effectively minimize electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring signal integrity. It is equipped with high-quality RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts for superior conductivity and long-term durability. Designed to support Power over Ethernet (PoE), this cable is a versatile solution for powering and connecting various network devices.

Advantages

This patch cord offers exceptional signal quality due to its S/FTP construction, which utilizes individual foil shielding for each pair and an overall braid shield. The inclusion of moulded kink protection enhances the cable's lifespan by preventing damage at the connector interface. Its flexible design allows for easy routing in tight spaces, such as server racks or compact office setups, without compromising performance. The gold-plated contacts ensure a stable, corrosion-resistant connection, while the 4-pair stranded copper wire construction meets rigorous industry standards for data transmission.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, and patch panels in professional network racks
• Powering devices via Power over Ethernet (PoE) such as IP cameras or VoIP phones
• High-speed Ethernet connections in home or office environments
• Short-distance patching where cable management and signal shielding are critical

This cable may not be suitable for long-distance runs exceeding the standard limitations of Cat.6 cabling or for outdoor installations that require UV-resistant and weather-proof jacketing. Additionally, it is not intended for industrial environments with extreme mechanical stress or high levels of chemical exposure.

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat.6 (Class E)
• Shielding type: S/FTP (PiMF)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Contact plating: Gold

To use this patch cord, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your networking device until you hear a click. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum radius to maintain optimal signal quality. The cable is designed for plug-and-play operation and does not require any specific configuration.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length to ensure 0.5 m is sufficient for your specific setup
• Check if your network hardware supports Cat.6 standards to maximize performance
• Confirm that the red colour fits your cable management or colour-coding scheme
• Ensure the device port is compatible with standard RJ-45 connectors

For optimal performance in a structured cabling system, it is recommended to pair this patch cord with compatible ROLINE Cat.6 shielded wall jacks and patch panels. This combination has been tested in a 100-meter channel to ensure full compliance with Class E specifications.
