ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cord, RJ-45, PoE, 3 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. This 3-meter cable features advanced S/FTP shielding, which utilizes individual pair shielding and an overall braid to effectively minimize electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Designed to support Power over Ethernet (PoE), it provides both data connectivity and power delivery for compatible network devices, making it a versatile solution for modern IT infrastructures.

Advantages

This patch cord offers exceptional durability and signal integrity due to its high-quality construction, which includes 4-pair stranded bare copper wire and gold-plated RJ-45 connector contacts. The inclusion of moulded kink protection prevents damage at the connector interface, extending the lifespan of the cable even in high-traffic areas. Its flexible design allows for easy routing in tight spaces or narrow cable management systems without compromising performance. By adhering to the EIA/TIA 568 standard with a 1:1 contact configuration, it ensures seamless compatibility with a wide range of networking hardware.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches, and routers in office networks
• Powering PoE-enabled devices such as IP cameras and VoIP phones
• Home network setups requiring high-speed, interference-free data transfer
• Structured cabling systems in professional environments

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 runs exceeding the standard channel limits, specialized infrastructure cabling may be required instead of standard patch cords.

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat.6 (Class E)
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF)
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: 2x RJ-45 (Male)
• Contact plating: Gold
• Conductor material: Bare copper (26 AWG)
• PoE support: Yes
• Colour: Blue

To use this patch cord, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your device until you hear a distinct click. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum radius to maintain optimal signal quality. When connecting PoE devices, verify that your switch or power injector provides the necessary power budget to support the connected hardware.

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 functionality
• Confirm that the blue colour fits your cable management colour-coding scheme

For optimal performance in a structured cabling system, we recommend using this patch cord in conjunction with compatible ROLINE Cat.6 shielded wall jacks and patch panels, which have been laboratory-tested to meet Class E specifications.
