ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cord, RJ-45, PoE, 2 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 2 meters in length, this red cable features advanced S/FTP (PiMF) shielding, which effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk to ensure signal integrity. Equipped with high-quality RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts, it provides a stable and durable connection for both professional and home network infrastructures.

Advantages

This patch cord offers superior signal quality due to its 4-pair stranded copper wire construction and comprehensive shielding. The inclusion of moulded kink protection enhances the cable's durability, preventing damage at the connector points during installation or movement. Its flexible design allows for easy routing in tight spaces, while the gold-plated contacts ensure long-term resistance to corrosion and optimal electrical conductivity. 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, VoIP phones, and wireless access points.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network switches or routers
• Powering devices via Power over Ethernet (PoE)
• High-speed data transmission in Class E networks
• Home and office network installations

When it may not be suitable

This cable is designed for indoor use and is not intended for harsh outdoor environments or direct burial, as the jacket is not UV-resistant or waterproof. Additionally, for extremely long-distance runs exceeding standard patch cord lengths, a solid wire installation cable would be more appropriate to maintain signal performance.

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat.6 (Class E)
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF)
• Length: 2 meters
• Connectors: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Contact plating: Gold
• Conductor material: Stranded copper wire
• Wiring standard: EIA/TIA 568
• Color: Red

How to use

To use the ROLINE Cat.6 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 engaged. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum radius to maintain optimal performance. When connecting PoE-enabled devices, verify that your network switch or power injector supports the required power standards to ensure safe and efficient operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length to avoid excessive slack or tension
• Ensure your network equipment supports Cat.6 standards for maximum speed
• Check if your devices require PoE functionality
• Confirm the color coding matches your existing cable management system

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance in a structured cabling system, it is recommended to use this patch cord in conjunction with compatible shielded Cat.6 wall jacks and patch panels. Regularly inspect the cable for physical damage and ensure that connectors are kept clean and free of dust to maintain consistent network speeds.
