Patch Cord ROLINE S/FTP (PiMF) Cat.6 Orange 5.0 m

Patch Cord ROLINE S/FTP (PiMF) Cat.6 Orange 5.0 m is a shielded Cat6 patch cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections between devices. The cable uses 4-pair stranded copper conductors with full braid shielding and individual pair shields of aluminium-clad polyester foil (S/FTP, PiMF). It features screened RJ-45 connectors on both ends with moulded kink protection and gold-plated contacts. Wiring is 1:1 in accordance with the EIA/TIA 568 standard, and the cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks with a nominal data transfer rate of 1000 Mbit/s.

Advantages

The fully shielded S/FTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity in environments with nearby cables or electronic equipment. Gold-plated contacts and high-quality RJ-45 plugs provide reliable mating and corrosion resistance, while moulded kink protection and a flexible jacket allow for installation in tight spaces without compromising durability. The orange jacket makes the cable easy to identify in structured cabling systems.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections between switches, routers, patch panels and devices
• 10/100/1000Base-T(X) network segments requiring shielded cabling
• Data centers, server rooms and office LANs where EMI mitigation is needed
• Patch panels and horizontal cabling runs with colour-coded identification

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat.6, EIA/TIA 568 wiring 1:1
• Cabling: S/FTP (PiMF) — full braid shield + foil-shielded pairs
• Conductor: 4-pair stranded copper
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, screened, gold-plated contacts
• Length: 5 m
• Colour: Orange
• Supported speeds: up to 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device (switch, router, NIC or patch panel) and the other end to the corresponding port. Ensure that both ends are fully inserted until the plug latches. Avoid excessive bending near the connector and do not stretch the cable beyond its intended length. When routing the cable, maintain the shield continuity by using compatible, properly grounded patch panels and metal enclosures if required for full EMI protection.

Recommendations

For best shielding performance, use with grounded shielded patch panels and maintain proper cable routing to minimise bend radius; avoid sharp kinks and secure the cable to prevent mechanical strain. Select the orange colour for visible identification in multi-cable installations.
