ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cable, Class E, PoE, 3 m, Yellow

The ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP patch cable is a high-performance network solution engineered for stable and secure data transmission in modern Ethernet environments. This cable meets Class E standards, ensuring reliable connectivity for high-speed networking applications. Featuring advanced S/FTP shielding, where each pair is wrapped in foil and an overall braid is applied, the cable effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Its support for Power over Ethernet (PoE) makes it a versatile choice for powering network devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points directly through the data connection.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this ROLINE patch cable is its robust construction, which guarantees signal integrity even in environments with high levels of electronic noise. The S/FTP shielding provides superior protection against external interference compared to unshielded alternatives, ensuring consistent data transfer rates. Furthermore, the inclusion of PoE support simplifies infrastructure by eliminating the need for separate power cables for compatible hardware. The durable yellow jacket not only provides physical protection but also allows for easy identification and cable management within complex network racks or office setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network switches or routers
• Powering PoE-enabled devices like IP cameras and VoIP phones
• High-speed local area network (LAN) installations
• Professional office and home network environments

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be the optimal choice for outdoor installations, as it lacks specific weather-resistant or UV-protected jacketing. Additionally, for extremely long-distance runs exceeding standard Ethernet limitations, fiber optic solutions or signal repeaters would be required instead of copper patch cables.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF)
• Performance Class: Class E
• Length: 3 meters
• Color: Yellow
• PoE Support: Yes

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your networking device until you hear a distinct click. Ensure that the cable is not bent at sharp angles or subjected to excessive tension, as this can damage the internal conductors and degrade network performance. When connecting PoE devices, verify that your switch or power injector is compatible with the required power standards to ensure safe operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length for your specific setup
• Check if your network hardware supports Cat.6 standards
• Confirm if your devices require PoE functionality
• Ensure the yellow color fits your cable management or color-coding scheme

Usage recommendations

For optimal network performance, avoid running Ethernet cables parallel to power lines to prevent potential electromagnetic interference. Always ensure that the connectors are clean and free of debris before insertion.
