ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cord, RJ-45, PoE, 2 m, White

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 cable features double shielding, which combines individual pair shielding with an overall braid to effectively minimize electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Designed to support Power over Ethernet (PoE), it provides both data connectivity and power to compatible network devices, making it a versatile choice for modern office and home network setups.

Advantages

This patch cord offers superior signal integrity due to its S/FTP construction and high-quality stranded copper wire. The inclusion of gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 connectors ensures excellent conductivity and long-term resistance to corrosion. The cable is designed for durability with moulded kink protection, which prevents damage at the connector points during frequent handling. Its flexible design allows for easy installation in tight spaces or narrow cable management paths without compromising performance.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to routers or network switches
• Powering PoE-enabled devices such as IP cameras or VoIP phones
• High-speed data transmission in home and professional office networks
• Environments requiring protection against electromagnetic interference

When it may not be suitable

This 2-meter cable is not intended for long-distance network runs where signal attenuation might occur. It is also not suitable for outdoor installations, as the cable jacket is designed for indoor use and lacks the necessary weatherproofing for exposure to the elements.

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat.6 (Class E)
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF)
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Contact plating: Gold
• Conductor material: Stranded copper wire
• PoE support: Yes
• Colour: White

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your network device, such as a computer, router, or switch, until you hear a click. Ensure that the cable is not pulled tight or bent at an extreme angle that exceeds its physical limits. For PoE applications, verify that both the power-sourcing equipment and the powered device are compatible with the required PoE standards.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length for your specific setup
• Ensure your network hardware supports Cat.6 standards for optimal performance
• Check if your devices require PoE functionality
• Confirm the available space for cable routing to ensure the 2-meter length is sufficient

Usage recommendations

For the best network performance, avoid running Ethernet cables parallel to power lines to prevent potential interference. Always ensure the connectors are fully seated in the ports to maintain a stable connection.
