Networking Cable ROLINE Recycled Material 21.45.3258 RJ-45 Cat6a 15 m Black

The ROLINE Recycled Material 21.45.3258 is a 15 m Cat6a networking cable with S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-T) environments, the cable combines Cat6a performance with a black recycled-material jacket to reduce environmental impact while maintaining compatibility with standard network equipment.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable features S/FTP shielding for improved protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts and moulded bend protection increase contact reliability and mechanical durability. The use of recycled materials in the jacket reduces waste without changing the cable's electrical and transmission characteristics.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections (10GBase-T)
• High-speed uplinks between switches and servers
• Structured cabling in offices and data centers
• Connections requiring shielded Cat6a performance

Key specifications

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 plugs into compatible network ports on switches, routers, servers or networked devices. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and excessive compression; use the moulded bend protection near the connectors to reduce stress at termination points. For shielded installations, properly ground the connected equipment and patch panels to maintain shielding effectiveness.

Recommendations

For optimal performance in 10 Gigabit networks, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short to medium runs up to the specified 15 m length, integrate it into a fully shielded cabling system when EMI is a concern, and follow proper grounding practices for all shielded components.
