ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cord, RJ-45, PoE, 20 m, Green

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 20 meters, this cable provides a stable connection for demanding network setups. It features S/FTP (PiMF) shielding, which effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring signal integrity. The cable is fully compatible with Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, making it a versatile choice for powering network devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points.

Advantages

This patch cord is constructed with high-quality 4-pair stranded copper wire, offering excellent flexibility for routing in tight spaces or narrow cable ducts. The inclusion of moulded kink protection enhances the durability of the cable, preventing damage at the connector points during installation or movement. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 connectors provide superior conductivity and resistance to corrosion, ensuring a long-lasting and stable connection. The cable adheres to the EIA/TIA 568 standard, guaranteeing compatibility with a wide range of professional networking equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network switches or routers
• Powering devices via Power over Ethernet (PoE)
• Professional office network installations
• Home network setups requiring high-speed data transfer
• Environments where electromagnetic interference is a concern

When it may not be suitable

This 20-meter cable may not be the optimal choice for installations requiring extremely short cable runs, as excess length can lead to cable clutter. Additionally, it is designed for indoor use and is not suitable for harsh outdoor environments or direct burial applications.

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 click, indicating that the locking tab is secure. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bend radius to maintain optimal performance. When connecting PoE-enabled devices, verify that your network switch or power injector supports the required power standards. The cable is designed for plug-and-play operation and does not require any additional configuration.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 20-meter length is sufficient for your specific installation path.
• Verify that your networking hardware supports Cat.6 standards for maximum performance.
• Check if your devices require PoE functionality to ensure full compatibility.
• Consider the green colour if you need to distinguish this cable from others in a complex rack setup.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance in a structured cabling system, it is recommended to use this patch cord in combination with shielded Cat.6 wall jacks and patch panels. Regularly inspect the cable for physical damage and ensure that connectors are kept clean and free of dust to maintain signal quality.
