ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cord, RJ-45, PoE, 3 m, Black

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 double shielding, including individual pair shielding, to effectively minimize electromagnetic interference and ensure signal integrity. Designed for professional networking, home offices, and server installations, it supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) and utilizes high-quality gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for optimal conductivity and long-term durability.

Advantages

This patch cord offers superior protection against data loss and interference thanks to its S/FTP construction, which shields each pair of wires individually. The inclusion of moulded kink protection enhances the cable's lifespan by preventing damage at the connector points, while the flexible design allows for easy routing in tight spaces or crowded server racks. With its support for PoE, this cable is versatile enough to power devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points directly through the network connection, simplifying infrastructure requirements.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network switches or routers
• Powering PoE-enabled devices like IP cameras and access points
• Professional server room and data center cabling
• Home office network setups requiring stable, high-speed connections

When it may not be suitable

This 3-meter cable may not be suitable for installations requiring longer distances between devices, as it is specifically designed for short-range patching. Additionally, if your network infrastructure does not require shielded cabling, a standard UTP cable may be a more cost-effective alternative.

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 click, ensuring the locking tab is fully engaged. Connect the other end to your switch, router, or wall jack. The cable is designed for plug-and-play operation and does not require any configuration. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum radius to maintain optimal performance and prevent internal wire damage.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length for your specific setup to avoid excess slack or insufficient reach.
• Ensure your networking equipment supports Cat.6 standards to take full advantage of the cable's performance capabilities.
• Confirm that your devices are compatible with PoE if you intend to use the cable for power delivery.

For optimal performance in a structured cabling system, we recommend using this patch cord in combination with compatible ROLINE Cat.6 shielded wall jacks and patch panels, ensuring the entire channel meets Class E specifications.
