Networking Cable ROLINE Recycled Material 21.45.3246 RJ-45 Cat6a 7m Blue

The ROLINE Recycled Material 21.45.3246 is a 7 m Cat6a network patch cable with shielded RJ-45 connectors designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Constructed with recycled materials and S/FTP shielding, the cable delivers stable data transmission while reducing electromagnetic interference. Gold-plated contacts and moulded bend protection enhance durability and connector reliability. The blue jacket provides clear visual identification in installations.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable supports 10GBase-T performance and S/FTP shielding to minimise crosstalk and external noise. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve signal transfer and corrosion resistance. The moulded strain relief protects the connectors from bending and mechanical stress. Use of recycled materials reduces environmental impact without compromising networking performance.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections (10GBase-T)
• High-speed LAN backbones and server room patching
• Office and home network installations
• Cabling where improved shielding is required to reduce interference

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network device (switch, router or network card) and the other end to the destination device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid running parallel to strong electrical sources to maintain optimal shielding performance. For patch panel installations, allow enough slack for proper cable management and strain relief.

Recommendations

For reliable 10G performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short runs within racks, patch panels and between switches; avoid exceeding the specified maximum distances for 10GBase-T applications and keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines to minimise interference.
