ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cord, RJ-45, PoE, 3 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 3 meters in length, this white cable features advanced S/FTP shielding, which provides comprehensive protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring signal integrity. It is designed to support Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, making it a versatile solution for powering network devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points directly through the data connection.

Advantages

This patch cord utilizes high-quality stranded copper wire to maintain flexibility, allowing for easy installation in tight spaces or cable management systems without compromising performance. The inclusion of moulded kink protection enhances the durability of the cable, preventing damage at the connector points during frequent handling. Furthermore, the RJ-45 connectors are equipped with gold-plated contacts, which offer superior conductivity and resistance to corrosion, ensuring a stable and long-lasting connection for your network infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches, and routers in home or office networks
• Powering devices via Power over Ethernet (PoE)
• Environments requiring high protection against electromagnetic interference
• Professional network installations where signal stability is critical

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, it is not intended for industrial environments with high levels of mechanical stress or chemical exposure that could damage the cable jacket.

To use this patch cord, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your networking device until you hear a click, indicating that the locking tab is secure. Ensure that the cable is not stretched tightly between devices to prevent strain on the ports. When routing the cable, avoid sharp bends or pinching it under furniture to maintain the integrity of the internal shielding and conductors.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length for your specific setup to avoid excess cable clutter
• Ensure your networking equipment supports the Cat.6 standard for optimal performance
• Check if your devices require PoE functionality to ensure compatibility
• Confirm that the white colour matches your aesthetic or cable management requirements

For optimal network performance, avoid running Ethernet cables in parallel with high-voltage power lines to minimize the risk of external interference. Always ensure the connectors are clean and free of dust before insertion.
