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

Patch Cord ROLINE S/FTP (PiMF) Cat.6 Red 5.0m is a shielded network patch cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission between devices. The cable uses four pairs of stranded copper wire with complete braid shielding and each pair wrapped in aluminium-clad polyester foil to reduce electromagnetic interference. Both ends are fitted with screened RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts and moulded kink protection for increased durability and flexibility.

Advantages

The S/FTP (PiMF) construction provides superior protection against crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded cables. Gold-plated contacts ensure stable signal transfer and corrosion resistance, while moulded strain relief increases connector longevity. The flexible cable design permits narrow bending radii, making installation in confined spaces easier. The red jacket aids identification in structured cabling systems.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels and network devices in LAN environments
• Data centres and server rooms requiring shielded cabling
• Audio/video installations sensitive to interference
• Structured cabling where colour-coding is used for organisation

Key specifications

• Standard: EIA/TIA 568 contact setting 1:1
• Cable category: Cat.6
• Topology: S/FTP (PiMF) — overall braid shield with individually foil-shielded pairs
• Conductor: 4-pair stranded copper wire
• Connector: Screened RJ-45 on both ends with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 5.0 m
• Colour: Red

How to use

Plug the screened RJ-45 connector into the corresponding RJ-45 ports on your network devices (switch, router, patch panel or NIC). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure the connection. Route the cable avoiding sharp edges and maintain recommended bend radius to preserve signal integrity. For installations in shielded environments, ensure proper grounding of the cable shields according to site practices.

Recommendations

Use this Cat.6 S/FTP patch cord where shielded connections are required to minimise electromagnetic interference; pair with shielded network equipment and grounded panels for best performance. Avoid excessive bending and tensile stress to maintain longevity and signal quality.
