Patch Cord ROLINE S/FTP (PiMF) Cat.6 Red 20.0m

Patch Cord ROLINE S/FTP (PiMF) Cat.6 Red 20.0m is a 20‑metre network patch cable with S/FTP (PiMF) shielding and RJ‑45 connectors on both ends. The cable is constructed from 4‑pair stranded copper wire with pairs shielded by aluminium‑clad polyester foil and a complete braid shield, and uses contact wiring 1:1 in accordance with the EIA/TIA‑568 standard. The moulded kink protection and flexible jacket allow installation in confined spaces while maintaining mechanical durability. High‑quality plugs with gold‑plated contacts ensure reliable contact and reduced corrosion.

Advantages

The S/FTP (PiMF) construction provides complete braid shielding plus individual pair foil shields for improved protection against electromagnetic interference. Gold‑plated contacts and screened RJ‑45 connectors deliver stable signal transmission and long service life. The flexible, double‑shielded cable with moulded kink protection is suitable for narrow bends and frequent handling, and the 20 m length enables long cable runs without additional joins.

Suitable for

• Connecting network devices such as switches, routers and patch panels
• Structured cabling in office and data centre environments
• High‑speed Ethernet applications up to 1 Gbps (Cat.6)
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI)

Key specifications

How to use

Plug one RJ‑45 connector into the network port of the source device and the other RJ‑45 connector into the destination device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and the latch engages. Route the cable avoiding sharp edges or excessive tension; use cable ties or organisers where appropriate to secure runs. Follow standard network testing procedures after installation to verify continuity and performance.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high‑voltage power lines and maintain proper bend radius to prevent signal degradation. Use for Ethernet links up to 1 Gbps and replace if connectors or shielding are visibly damaged.
