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

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 double shielding, known as S/FTP (PiMF), which effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference and ensures signal integrity. Designed with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors and 26 AWG stranded copper wire, it provides a stable and durable connection for demanding network setups.

Advantages

This patch cord offers superior protection against external interference due to its comprehensive S/FTP shielding, making it an excellent choice for environments where signal quality is critical. The inclusion of moulded kink protection enhances the cable's durability, preventing damage at the connection points during frequent handling. Furthermore, the cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing it to transmit both data and electrical power to compatible devices, which simplifies installation by reducing the need for separate power cables. Its flexible construction allows for easy routing in tight spaces without compromising performance.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches, and routers in home or professional offices
• Powering network devices such as IP cameras or VoIP phones via PoE
• High-speed data transmission in Class E network infrastructures
• Applications requiring reliable shielding against electromagnetic interference

This cable may not be suitable for long-distance outdoor installations, as it is designed primarily for indoor use and lacks specific weather-resistant jacketing. Additionally, for extremely high-bandwidth requirements exceeding Cat.6 specifications, such as 10Gbps over very long distances, a higher category cable might be necessary.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 m
• Cable standard: Cat.6 (Class E)
• Shielding type: S/FTP (PiMF)
• Connector type: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Contact plating: Gold
• Wire gauge: 26 AWG
• Construction: 4-pair stranded copper wire
• Color: Orange

To use this patch cord, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device until you hear a click. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum radius to maintain optimal performance. The cable is plug-and-play, requiring no additional configuration for standard network connections.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length for your specific setup
• Ensure your network devices support Cat.6 standards for maximum speed
• Check if your equipment requires PoE functionality
• Confirm that the orange color meets your organizational or aesthetic requirements

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance in a structured cabling system, ensure that all connected components, such as wall jacks and patch panels, also meet Cat.6 shielding standards. Regularly inspect the cable for physical damage to maintain consistent network speeds.
