ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cord, RJ-45, PoE, 7 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 7-meter cable features advanced S/FTP (PiMF) shielding, which effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring stable connectivity for demanding network applications. With its durable construction and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, this cable provides a robust solution for professional and home networking setups.

Advantages

This patch cord offers superior signal integrity thanks to its 4-pair stranded copper wire construction and comprehensive shielding. The inclusion of moulded kink protection enhances the cable's durability, preventing damage at the connector points during frequent handling or installation in tight spaces. Furthermore, the cable is fully compatible with Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, allowing for the simultaneous transmission of data and power to compatible devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network switches or routers
• Powering devices via PoE technology
• High-speed data transmission in professional office networks
• Home network setups requiring reliable shielding

When it may not be suitable

This cable is designed for indoor use and is not suitable for harsh outdoor environments or direct burial, as the outer jacket is not rated for extreme weather conditions or UV exposure. Additionally, for extremely long-distance runs exceeding standard patch cable lengths, structured cabling with solid wire is recommended instead of this flexible patch cord.

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 performance. When connecting PoE-enabled devices, verify that both the power sourcing equipment and the powered device are compatible with the required power standards.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length to ensure the 7-meter cable is sufficient for your setup.
• Check if your network equipment supports Cat.6 standards for optimal performance.
• Confirm that your devices require shielded cabling to mitigate potential interference.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance in a structured cabling system, we recommend using this patch cord in conjunction with high-quality shielded wall jacks and patch panels that meet Class E specifications. Always ensure that the cable is routed away from high-voltage power lines to prevent signal degradation.
