Networking Cable ROLINE 21.15.2609 Grey 20 m Cat6 S/FTP

The ROLINE 21.15.2609 Grey 20 m Cat6 S/FTP networking cable is a 20-metre patch cable designed for structured cabling and point-to-point connections in office, data center and home network environments. Compliant with Cat6 performance parameters and equipped with S/FTP shielding, the cable supports high-speed data transmission while reducing electromagnetic and crosstalk interference. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors, allowing direct connection to switches, routers, patch panels, network interface cards and other Ethernet-enabled devices. The grey jacket provides a neutral appearance that blends into most installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individually foil‑shielded pairs to provide improved protection against external interference and internal crosstalk compared with unshielded alternatives. Cat6 performance ensures support for Gigabit Ethernet and reliable throughput for latency-sensitive applications. The 20 m length reduces the need for intermediate patching while maintaining flexibility for routing and cable management. RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet ports without additional adapters.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections between network equipment (switches, routers, patch panels)
• Office and data center horizontal runs where shielding is required
• High-density installations that need predictable signal integrity
• Home networks requiring a longer direct cable between devices

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 20 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Grey
• Typical applications: Gigabit Ethernet, PoE compatible installations (subject to device requirements)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end of the cable to the Ethernet port of your switch, router or network device and the other end to the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends, high‑temperature sources and heavy compression to maintain performance. For installations using shielded components, ensure the network equipment and patch panels support grounding and shield termination to preserve the S/FTP effectiveness.

Recommendations

For best results, use this Cat6 S/FTP cable within standard horizontal cabling limits for structured networks and terminate or patch through shielded connectors and panels where possible. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines and secure it with appropriate cable management accessories to prevent excessive bending or strain.
