ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cable, PoE++, White, 2 m 21.51.1346

In a busy office, a network technician needs to connect a VoIP phone and a wireless access point to the main switch, ensuring both data and power delivery over a single cable. The ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP patch cable, 2 meters in white, handles this with ease. Its S/FTP shielding with PiMF (pairs in metal foil) blocks electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for environments with high cable density or industrial noise. Supporting Power over Ethernet up to PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt), it delivers up to 100W to devices like pan-tilt-zoom cameras, LED lighting, or thin clients, eliminating the need for separate power supplies.

Key specifications

• Category 6 (Class E) performance, tested up to 250 MHz
• S/FTP shielding: overall braid plus foil per twisted pair (PiMF) for superior noise immunity
• Supports 10GBASE-T up to 55 m and 1000BASE-T up to 100 m
• PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ (4PPoE) compliant for powering devices up to 100W
• Stranded copper conductors for flexibility and durability in patch applications
• Gold-plated RJ45 connectors with molded snagless boots for secure connections and easy handling
• PVC jacket, white color, 2 m length
• Wired to TIA/EIA 568B, backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5

Why choose it

This cable is built for reliability in demanding network setups. The S/FTP construction with individually shielded pairs virtually eliminates alien crosstalk, ensuring stable 10 Gigabit links over short distances. Its PoE++ capability makes it future-proof for high-power devices, while the stranded copper conductors withstand frequent bending and re-patching without performance loss. The snagless boot protects the locking tab during installation, reducing accidental disconnections.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting PoE-powered devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points
• High-density data centers and server rooms where interference is a concern
• Industrial environments with electromagnetic noise from machinery
• Office workstations requiring reliable Gigabit or 10 Gigabit connections
• Home networks with demanding streaming and gaming needs

Good to know

The cable meets Category 6 specifications, meaning it is tested to 250 MHz and supports 10GBASE-T up to 55 meters (per IEEE 802.3an) and 1 Gigabit up to 100 meters. It is not halogen-free; the jacket is standard PVC. The white color blends well in office and home environments, and the 2-meter length is ideal for patch panels and short device connections. Each cable is individually tested for performance and comes with a lifetime warranty from ROLINE.
