ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cord, RJ-45, PoE, 15 m, Orange

The ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP patch cord is a high-performance network cable engineered for reliable data transmission in Class E environments. With a length of 15 meters and a vibrant orange jacket, this cable provides a robust solution for connecting network devices such as switches, routers, and computers. It features advanced S/FTP shielding, which protects against electromagnetic interference, ensuring signal integrity even in demanding conditions.

Advantages

This patch cord offers superior signal quality due to its double-shielded construction, which effectively minimizes crosstalk and external interference. The inclusion of gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 connectors ensures long-term corrosion resistance and optimal electrical conductivity. Designed with flexibility in mind, the cable is easy to route through tight spaces, while the integrated moulded kink protection prevents damage at the connector points, significantly extending the product's lifespan. Furthermore, the cable fully supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, allowing for the simultaneous transmission of data and power to compatible network hardware.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, servers, and network switches
• Powering devices via Power over Ethernet (PoE)
• Professional office network installations
• Home network setups requiring high stability
• Environments where electromagnetic interference is a concern

When it may not be suitable

This 15-meter cable is specifically designed for patch connections and may not be the optimal choice for permanent, long-distance in-wall installations where solid-core installation cables are typically required. Additionally, if your network infrastructure does not support Cat.6 standards, the performance benefits of this cable may not be fully realized.

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat.6 (Class E)
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF)
• Length: 15 meters
• Connectors: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Contact plating: Gold
• Wire construction: 4-pair stranded copper
• PoE support: Yes
• Colour: Orange

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 pulled excessively or bent at extreme angles that exceed its physical limits. When connecting PoE-enabled devices, verify that both the power sourcing equipment and the powered device are compatible with the required power standards to ensure safe and efficient operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length to avoid excessive slack
• Ensure your network hardware supports Cat.6 or higher for maximum performance
• Check if your devices require Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality
• Confirm that the orange colour meets your cable management or identification needs

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance in a structured cabling system, we recommend using this patch cord in conjunction with shielded Cat.6 wall jacks and patch panels. Our laboratory testing confirms that this cable maintains Class E compliance within a 100-meter channel configuration.
