ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cord, RJ-45, 1 m, Blue

The ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP patch cord is a high-performance network cable engineered for reliable data transmission in Class E environments. Measuring 1 meter in length and finished in a professional blue color, this cable features advanced S/FTP (PiMF) shielding to effectively minimize electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Equipped with high-quality RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts, it ensures a stable and durable connection for demanding network infrastructures.

Advantages

This patch cord offers exceptional signal integrity due to its double-shielded construction, which protects data packets from external noise. The inclusion of moulded kink protection enhances the cable's longevity by preventing damage at the connector interface, while the flexible design allows for easy installation in tight spaces or crowded server racks. Furthermore, the cable is fully compatible with Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, making it a versatile choice for powering network devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones directly through the data connection.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network switches or routers
• Powering PoE-enabled devices like IP cameras and access points
• 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, for extremely long-distance network runs, a patch cord of this length is intended for local device connectivity rather than long-range backbone cabling.

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: 1 m
• Wire construction: 4-pair stranded copper, 26 AWG
• PoE support: Yes
• Color: Blue

How to use

To use the ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP patch cord, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device until you hear a distinct click, indicating that the locking tab is secure. Repeat this process for the second device. Ensure that the cable is not pulled taut or bent at an angle sharper than its minimum bend radius to maintain optimal performance. The cable is plug-and-play, requiring no additional configuration for standard network operations.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length to ensure 1 meter is sufficient for your setup
• Check if your network devices support Cat.6 standards for maximum speed
• Confirm that your equipment supports PoE if you intend to use this feature
• Ensure the blue color meets your cable management or color-coding requirements

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance in a structured cabling system, we recommend pairing this patch cord with shielded Cat.6 wall jacks and patch panels. Our laboratory testing confirms that this cable maintains Class E specifications when used in a 100-meter channel configuration.
