ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cord, RJ-45, PoE, 7 m, Blue

The ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP patch cord is a high-performance network cable engineered for reliable data transmission in Class E Ethernet environments. This 7-meter blue cable features double shielding (PiMF) to effectively minimize electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable connectivity for professional and home office networks. Equipped with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, it provides excellent signal integrity and durability for demanding networking tasks.

Advantages

This patch cord offers superior protection against signal degradation thanks to its S/FTP shielding construction, which includes individual pair shielding and an overall braid. The inclusion of moulded kink protection enhances the cable's longevity by preventing damage at the connector points. Furthermore, the cable is designed to be flexible, allowing for easy installation in tight spaces or narrow cable management paths without compromising performance. 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 connection.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network switches or routers
• Powering devices via Power over Ethernet (PoE)
• Professional office network infrastructures
• Home office setups requiring stable gigabit connections
• Environments with high electromagnetic interference

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for outdoor use where it would be exposed to direct sunlight, moisture, or extreme temperature fluctuations. Additionally, it is not suitable for applications requiring plenum-rated cabling for installation in air-handling spaces.

How to use

To use the ROLINE Cat.6 patch cord, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your device, such as a router, switch, or computer, until you hear a distinct click. Ensure the cable is not pulled tight or bent at an extreme angle that exceeds its physical capabilities. For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to prevent potential interference, even though the cable is shielded.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length for your specific installation to avoid excess slack.
• Ensure your network devices support Cat.6 standards for optimal speed.
• Check if your equipment requires PoE functionality.
• Confirm that the RJ-45 port is accessible and not obstructed.

Usage recommendations

For a robust and structured cabling system, it is recommended to use compatible components such as ROLINE Cat.6 shielded wall jacks and patch panels. This ensures that the entire network channel maintains Class E compliance and consistent signal quality across the installation.
