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

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 cable features advanced S/FTP shielding, which utilizes individual pair shielding and an overall braid to effectively minimize electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Equipped with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, it ensures optimal signal integrity and long-term durability for professional and home networking applications.

Advantages

This patch cord offers superior protection against external signal noise thanks to its comprehensive S/FTP shielding construction. The inclusion of gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 connectors prevents corrosion and ensures a stable, low-resistance connection over time. Furthermore, the cable is designed with a flexible jacket and moulded kink protection, allowing for easy installation in tight spaces without compromising the internal copper wiring. Its support for Power over Ethernet (PoE) makes it a versatile choice for powering network devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points directly through the data cable.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network switches or routers
• Powering PoE-enabled devices like IP cameras and access points
• High-speed data transmission in home and office networks
• Environments where electromagnetic interference is a concern

When it may not be suitable

This 5-meter cable may not be suitable for installations requiring very long runs, as it is designed as a patch cord rather than a permanent installation cable. Additionally, if your network infrastructure requires a different category standard, such as Cat.5e or Cat.7, this Cat.6 cable may not provide the specific performance characteristics required for those systems.

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat.6 (Class E)
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF)
• Length: 5 meters
• Connectors: 2x RJ-45 (male)
• Contact plating: Gold
• Conductor material: Stranded copper wire
• PoE support: Yes
• Color: Green

How to use

To use the ROLINE Cat.6 patch cord, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device, such as a computer, printer, or network switch, until you hear a distinct click. Ensure the cable is not bent beyond its minimum radius to maintain optimal performance. When using the cable for Power over Ethernet applications, verify that both the connected device and the power sourcing equipment are compatible with the PoE standard to ensure safe and efficient power delivery.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length for your specific setup
• Ensure your network hardware supports Cat.6 standards
• Check if your devices require PoE functionality
• Consider the color-coding needs for your network organization

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance in structured cabling systems, it is recommended to use this patch cord in conjunction with compatible shielded Cat.6 wall jacks and patch panels. Regularly inspect the cable for physical damage and ensure that connectors are kept clean and free of dust to maintain stable network connectivity.
