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

The ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP patch cord is a high-performance network cable engineered for reliable data transmission in Class E environments. Measuring 20 meters in length, this cable features double shielding (PiMF) to effectively minimize electromagnetic interference, ensuring a stable and high-speed connection for your network devices. It is fully compatible with Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, making it a versatile choice for powering network equipment such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points directly through the data cable.

Advantages

This patch cord offers superior signal integrity thanks to its 4-pair stranded copper wire construction and high-quality gold-plated RJ-45 connectors. The inclusion of moulded kink protection enhances the durability of the cable, preventing damage at the connection points during installation or movement. Its flexible design allows for easy routing in tight spaces or narrow cable ducts, while the S/FTP shielding provides robust protection against crosstalk and external noise, maintaining consistent performance even in demanding professional or home office setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, routers, and switches in high-speed networks
• Powering devices via Power over Ethernet (PoE)
• Professional office environments requiring stable data transmission
• Home network setups needing interference-free connectivity

When it may not be suitable

This 20-meter cable may be excessive for simple desktop-to-wall connections, where a shorter cable would reduce clutter. Additionally, while it is flexible, it is not intended for high-traffic areas where it might be subjected to constant physical stress or sharp bending beyond its design specifications.

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat.6 (Class E)
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF)
• Length: 20 m
• Connectors: 2x RJ-45 (Male)
• Contact plating: Gold
• Conductor material: Bare copper (26 AWG)
• PoE support: Yes
• Colour: Black

How to use

To use the ROLINE Cat.6 patch cord, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your network device until you hear a click. Ensure that both ends are securely connected to your hardware, such as a router, switch, or wall outlet. The cable is designed for plug-and-play operation, requiring no additional configuration. When routing the cable, avoid sharp bends or pinching to maintain the integrity of the internal shielding and copper pairs.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 20-meter length is sufficient for your specific installation path
• Ensure your network devices support Cat.6 standards for optimal performance
• Check if your PoE-powered devices require specific power levels compatible with this cable

Usage recommendations: For optimal performance in structured cabling systems, we recommend pairing this cable with high-quality shielded wall jacks and patch panels. Regularly inspect the cable for signs of physical wear and ensure that the connectors remain free of dust or debris to maintain a reliable connection.
