ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cable, 15 m, Yellow, PoE Support

The ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP patch cable is a high-performance networking solution engineered for stable and secure data transmission in Gigabit Ethernet environments. Measuring 15 meters in length, this cable provides the necessary reach for connecting network devices such as computers, switches, routers, and access points across larger rooms or office spaces. Featuring advanced S/FTP shielding, it effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring consistent signal integrity even in demanding network setups.

Advantages

This network cable offers superior protection against external interference thanks to its S/FTP (PiMF) shielding, which wraps each pair of wires in foil and adds an overall braid. This construction significantly reduces data loss and maintains high speeds in environments with high electronic noise. Furthermore, the cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing it to transmit both data and electrical power to compatible devices like IP cameras or VoIP phones, which simplifies installation by reducing the need for separate power cables.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers to wall outlets or switches
• Linking routers and modems in home or professional office networks
• Powering PoE-enabled devices such as wireless access points and IP cameras
• High-speed data transfer in Gigabit Ethernet local area networks

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for outdoor use or environments where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, moisture, or extreme temperature fluctuations. Additionally, because it is 15 meters long, it may be excessive for simple desk-to-wall connections, leading to unnecessary cable clutter if not properly managed.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6 (Class E)
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF)
• Length: 15 meters
• Color: Yellow
• PoE Support: Yes

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of your networking device until you hear a distinct click. Ensure that the cable is routed safely along walls or through cable management systems to prevent tripping hazards or physical damage to the connectors. When connecting PoE devices, verify that both the power sourcing equipment and the powered device are compatible with the required PoE standard to ensure safe operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length to avoid excess cable slack
• Check if your network hardware supports Cat.6 standards for optimal performance
• Ensure the yellow color is suitable for your cable management or color-coding requirements

Usage recommendations

For the best performance, avoid bending the cable at sharp angles or pinching it under heavy furniture, as this can damage the internal shielding and conductors. Always unplug the cable by gripping the connector head rather than pulling on the cord itself.
