ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cord, RJ-45, PoE, 3 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. This 3-meter red cable features advanced S/FTP (PiMF) shielding, which effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring a stable and secure connection for your network devices. Designed with Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, it is capable of delivering both data and power to compatible hardware, making it a versatile solution for modern office and home network setups.

Advantages

This patch cable offers exceptional durability and signal integrity thanks to its high-quality construction. The use of 26 AWG bare copper wire combined with gold-plated RJ-45 connector contacts ensures optimal conductivity and long-term resistance to corrosion. The cable is designed with moulded kink protection, which prevents damage at the connection points, while its flexible nature allows for easy routing in tight spaces or narrow cable management systems. By adhering to the EIA/TIA 568 standard, it guarantees consistent performance and compatibility across various networking infrastructures.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches, routers, and access points
• Powering PoE-enabled devices such as IP cameras and VoIP phones
• Professional office network installations
• Home network setups requiring high-speed data transfer

When it may not be suitable

This cable is 3 meters in length, which may be insufficient for long-distance runs between rooms or across large office floors. For permanent, in-wall installations, a solid wire installation cable is generally preferred over this stranded patch cord to ensure better performance over longer distances.

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat.6 (Class E)
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF)
• Length: 3 meters
• Connectors: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Contact plating: Gold
• Conductor material: 4-pair stranded copper wire
• PoE support: Yes
• Colour: Red

How to use

To use the ROLINE Cat.6 patch cord, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your networking device until you hear a distinct click. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum radius to maintain signal quality. When connecting PoE devices, verify that your switch or power injector is compatible with the required power standards. The cable is designed for plug-and-play operation, requiring no additional configuration.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length for your specific setup
• Ensure your networking equipment supports Cat.6 standards for maximum performance
• Check if your devices require PoE power delivery
• Consider the colour for cable management and identification purposes

Usage recommendations

For optimal results in a structured cabling system, we recommend using this patch cord in conjunction with shielded ROLINE Cat.6 wall jacks and patch panels. This combination has been tested in a 100-meter channel to ensure full compliance with Class E specifications.
