Networking Cable ROLINE Recycled Material 21.45.3217 RJ-45 Cat6a 10 m Red

The ROLINE Recycled Material 21.45.3217 is a 10 m Cat6a networking cable with RJ-45 connectors and S/FTP shielding. Made partly from recycled materials, this red patch cable supports 10GBase-T networks and is intended for reliable high-speed data transmission with reduced electromagnetic interference.

Advantages

This cable features shielded RJ-45 connectors and gold-plated contacts for consistent signal integrity and corrosion resistance. Moulded bend protection at the connector ends increases durability and reduces the risk of cable damage during installation or regular use. The S/FTP shielding helps minimise crosstalk and external interference, supporting stable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance over the 10 m length.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections (10GBase-T)
• Server rooms and network racks
• Office and home network installations
• Patch panels and switches with RJ-45 ports

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to a network device such as a switch, router or network interface card and the other end to the corresponding port on the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they latch to maintain a secure connection. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and heavy compression; the moulded bend protection helps at connector exits but standard cable management practices should be followed for optimal performance.

Recommendations

For best results in 10GBase-T environments, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for runs up to 10 m where full bandwidth and reduced interference are required. Maintain appropriate separation from power cables and avoid excessive bending or strain to preserve shielding and connector integrity.
