ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cord, RJ-45, PoE, 5 m, Red

The ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP patch cord is a high-performance network cable engineered for reliable data transmission in Class E environments. This 5-meter red cable features advanced S/FTP shielding, which effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk to ensure signal integrity. Equipped with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, it provides a stable and durable connection for both professional and home network infrastructures. The cable 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 line.

Advantages

This patch cord offers superior durability thanks to its moulded kink protection, which prevents damage at the connector interface during installation or movement. The flexible construction allows for easy routing in tight spaces or narrow cable ducts without compromising performance. By utilizing high-quality stranded copper wire and gold-plated contacts, the cable ensures consistent electrical conductivity and long-term reliability. The S/FTP shielding design provides comprehensive protection against external interference, maintaining high data transfer speeds even in environments with high cable density.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network switches or routers
• Powering devices via Power over Ethernet (PoE)
• Professional office network installations
• Home network setups requiring high-speed data transfer
• Connecting VoIP phones and IP security cameras

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 distinct click, indicating that the locking tab is secure. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum radius to maintain optimal signal quality. When connecting PoE-enabled devices, verify that both the power sourcing equipment and the powered device are compatible with the required power standards. For optimal performance in structured cabling, ensure that the cable is routed away from high-voltage power lines to prevent potential interference.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length for your specific installation to avoid excess slack
• Ensure your network equipment supports Cat.6 standards for maximum throughput
• Check if your devices require PoE functionality
• Consider the colour coding of your cables for easier network management

Usage recommendations

For a professional structured cabling system, we recommend using this patch cord in combination with shielded ROLINE Cat.6 wall jacks and patch panels. This cable-plug combination has been tested in a 100-meter channel to ensure full compliance with Class E specifications.
