ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cable, 5m, Yellow, PoE Support

The ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP patch cable is a high-quality networking solution designed to deliver reliable and fast data transmission for modern digital environments. With a length of 5 meters and a vibrant yellow finish, this cable is engineered to meet the demands of professional office networks and home installations, ensuring stable connectivity for your essential hardware.

Advantages

This patch cable features advanced S/FTP shielding, which includes individual pair shielding and an overall braid, effectively minimizing electromagnetic interference and crosstalk to maintain signal integrity. The inclusion of Power over Ethernet (PoE) support allows for the simultaneous transmission of data and power to compatible devices, such as IP cameras or VoIP phones, simplifying your infrastructure. Its robust construction ensures durability and consistent performance in structured cabling systems, making it a dependable choice for high-speed network setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network switches or routers
• Powering PoE-enabled devices like wireless access points and IP cameras
• Structured cabling in office environments
• High-speed home network installations

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be the optimal choice for outdoor installations where exposure to extreme weather conditions or direct sunlight is expected, as it lacks specific ruggedized outdoor-rated jacketing. Additionally, for distances exceeding the standard 100-meter limit for Ethernet cabling, this patch cable will not provide a stable connection without the use of active signal repeaters or switches.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF)
• Length: 5 meters
• Color: Yellow
• PoE Support: Yes

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of your networking device until you hear a distinct click. Ensure that the cable is routed away from heavy power lines to prevent potential signal degradation. When connecting PoE devices, verify that your switch or power injector is compatible with the required power standards to ensure safe and efficient operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length for your specific setup to avoid excess cable clutter
• Ensure your networking hardware supports Cat.6 standards for optimal speed
• Check if your devices require PoE functionality before installation

Usage recommendations

For the best performance, avoid bending the cable at sharp angles or placing heavy objects on it, as this can damage the internal shielding and impact data transmission speeds.
