ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cord, RJ-45, PoE, 15 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. Measuring 15 meters in length, this cable features advanced S/FTP (PiMF) shielding, which effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk to ensure a stable connection. Equipped with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, it provides excellent signal integrity and durability for demanding networking applications.

Advantages

This patch cord offers superior protection against external interference thanks to its comprehensive S/FTP shielding, which wraps each pair in foil and adds an overall braid. The inclusion of gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs prevents corrosion and ensures long-term connectivity reliability. Designed with moulded kink protection, the cable is highly durable and resistant to mechanical stress, while its flexible construction allows for easy routing in tight spaces or narrow cable ducts. Furthermore, the cable fully supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), making it a versatile solution for powering network devices such as IP cameras, access points, and VoIP phones directly through the data line.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network switches or routers
• Powering devices via Power over Ethernet (PoE)
• Professional server room installations
• Home office and small business network setups
• High-speed data transmission in Class E networks

When it may not be suitable

This 15-meter cable is intended for indoor use and is not designed for harsh outdoor environments or direct burial applications. If you require a cable for extreme temperatures or exposure to moisture, specialized outdoor-rated cabling would be necessary.

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, ensuring the locking tab is fully engaged. Repeat this process for the second device. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum radius to maintain optimal performance. The cable is ready for immediate use and supports plug-and-play functionality for standard Ethernet equipment.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length to ensure 15 meters is sufficient for your setup
• Check if your networking equipment supports Cat.6 standards for maximum speed
• Confirm that your devices are compatible with RJ-45 interfaces
• Ensure the red colour fits your cable management or identification scheme

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance in structured cabling, ensure that all connected components, such as patch panels and wall jacks, also meet Cat.6 specifications. Avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage power lines to prevent potential signal degradation.
