Networking Cable ROLINE Recycled Material 21.45.3216 RJ-45 Cat6a 7m Red

The ROLINE Recycled Material 21.45.3216 is a 7 m Cat6a networking cable with S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for 10GBase-T networks, the cable supports high-speed data transmission and features gold-plated contacts and moulded bend protection. The cable jacket is produced using recycled materials and comes in red.

Advantages

Shielded S/FTP construction provides reduced electromagnetic interference for stable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts enhance contact reliability and corrosion resistance. Moulded bend protection at the connectors increases durability and reduces strain-related failures. The use of recycled materials in the jacket lowers environmental impact while maintaining required mechanical properties.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-T) LAN installations
• Server rooms and data centres requiring shielded Cat6a cabling
• Office and campus backbone cabling where durable, high-speed links are needed

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to your network device (switch, router or patch panel) and the other RJ-45 connector to the target device or port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid tight bundling with unshielded power lines to maintain shielding effectiveness and signal integrity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance in shielded installations, ensure both ends are connected to shielded ports or that proper grounding is provided at patch panels or outlets. Keep cable runs within recommended lengths for 10GBase-T and avoid excessive bending near the connectors.
