ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cable, 20 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. With a length of 20 meters and a vibrant yellow finish, this cable is designed to provide reliable connectivity for professional IT infrastructures and home office setups. It features advanced S/FTP shielding, which effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring high signal integrity even in demanding network conditions.

Advantages

This network cable offers superior protection against external signal interference due to its S/FTP (PiMF) shielding construction, where each pair of wires is individually shielded with foil and an overall braid is applied. The support for Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows for the simultaneous transmission of data and power to compatible devices, such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points, simplifying installation by reducing the need for separate power supplies. The robust design ensures long-term durability and consistent performance for high-speed data transfers.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network switches or routers
• Powering PoE-enabled devices like IP cameras and access points
• Professional office network installations
• Home office and multimedia networking

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be suitable for outdoor installations as it is not specifically rated for weather resistance or direct burial. Additionally, for extremely long cable runs exceeding 100 meters, signal degradation may occur, making this 20-meter length ideal for localized connections rather than long-distance backbone cabling.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6 (Class E)
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF)
• Length: 20 meters
• Color: Yellow
• PoE Support: Yes

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your networking device, such as a router, switch, or computer, until you hear a distinct click. Ensure the cable is routed away from high-voltage power lines to maintain optimal signal quality. When connecting PoE devices, verify that your power sourcing equipment is compatible with the required power standards to ensure safe operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length to ensure 20 meters is sufficient for your setup
• Check if your networking hardware supports Cat.6 standards for maximum speed
• Confirm that your PoE-enabled devices are compatible with the power output of your switch

Usage recommendations

Ensure the cable is not bent at sharp angles or subjected to excessive tension during installation to prevent damage to the internal shielding and conductors.
