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

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 effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring a stable connection for demanding network applications. With its support for Power over Ethernet (PoE), this cable is versatile enough to power compatible network devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points directly through the data line.

Advantages

This patch cord is constructed with high-quality stranded copper wire, providing excellent flexibility for routing in tight spaces or around corners without compromising signal integrity. The inclusion of moulded kink protection significantly 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 long-lasting and secure physical connection for your hardware.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches, and routers in office or home networks
• Powering devices via Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology
• High-speed data transmission in Class E network infrastructures
• Environments where electromagnetic interference protection is required

When it may not be suitable

This cable is designed for standard indoor networking applications and is not intended for outdoor use where it would be exposed to harsh weather conditions or direct sunlight. Additionally, it may not be suitable for industrial environments requiring specialized ruggedized or armored cabling solutions.

How to use

To use the ROLINE Cat.6 patch cord, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your network device until you hear a distinct click. Ensure that the cable is not pulled taut and that there is sufficient slack to prevent strain on the ports. When connecting PoE-enabled devices, verify that your network switch or power injector is correctly configured to supply the necessary power levels to the connected hardware.

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 optimal performance
• Check if your devices require PoE functionality before deployment
• Confirm that the blue colour fits your cable management and identification scheme

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance in a structured cabling system, 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 the connectors are kept free of dust and debris to maintain consistent network speeds.
