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

The ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP patch cord is a high-performance network cable engineered for reliable data transmission in Class E environments. Measuring 5 meters in length, this cable features advanced S/FTP (PiMF) shielding, which effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk to ensure stable network connectivity. It is designed to support Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, making it a versatile choice for powering network devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points directly through the data cable.

Advantages

This patch cord offers superior durability and signal integrity due to its high-quality construction, which includes 4-pair stranded bare copper wire and gold-plated RJ-45 connector contacts. The inclusion of moulded kink protection prevents cable damage at the connection points, extending the lifespan of the product even in high-traffic areas. Its flexible design allows for easy routing in tight spaces, making it an excellent solution for professional network installations or home office setups where cable management is a priority.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, routers, and network switches
• Powering devices via Power over Ethernet (PoE)
• Professional office and home network infrastructures
• Environments requiring high interference protection

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 moisture, direct sunlight, or extreme temperature fluctuations. Additionally, it may not be suitable for industrial environments with extreme levels of electromagnetic interference that require specialized industrial-grade cabling.

• Cable standard: Cat.6 (Class E)
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF)
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Conductor material: Bare copper, 26 AWG
• Contact plating: Gold
• Wiring standard: EIA/TIA 568 (1:1)
• Color: White

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 click, ensuring a secure connection. The cable is plug-and-play, requiring no additional configuration. When routing the cable, avoid sharp bends or excessive tension to maintain the integrity of the internal shielding and conductors. Ensure that both connected devices are compatible with the Cat.6 standard to achieve optimal data transfer speeds.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length for your specific setup
• Ensure your network equipment supports Cat.6 standards
• Confirm if your devices require PoE functionality
• Check the available space for cable routing to ensure the 5-meter length is sufficient

For optimal performance, avoid running network cables parallel to high-voltage power lines to prevent potential signal degradation. Always ensure the connectors are fully seated in the ports to maintain a stable link.
