Networking Cable ROLINE 21.15.1699 0.3m Cat6a U/FTP RJ-45 White

The ROLINE 21.15.1699 0.3m Cat6a U/FTP RJ-45 White is a short, shielded network cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. Built to Cat6a performance, the cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and uses RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Its U/FTP shielding helps reduce electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for installations where signal integrity is important. The compact 0.3 m length provides a tidy, low-latency link between adjacent devices in racks, workstations, or network equipment bays.

Advantages

The U/FTP shielding minimizes crosstalk and external electromagnetic disturbances, improving overall signal quality for high-bandwidth applications. Cat6a specification ensures support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short runs, while the short 0.3 m length reduces cable clutter and latency between devices. Standard RJ-45 connectors guarantee broad compatibility with network switches, routers, NICs, and patch panels. The white jacket offers a discreet appearance in light-colored or visible installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting adjacent network devices in server racks and patch panels
• Linking desktop computers or workstations to nearby switches
• Cabling short runs between network appliances in office or data-center environments
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall unshielded with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 0.3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Colour: White
• Weight: approximately 0.0101 kg

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks. For patching in racks or between closely spaced devices, route the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp kinks that could stress the conductors or shielding. Ensure both connected devices are configured for the desired Ethernet speed; auto-negotiation typically establishes the correct link speed. For installations mixing shielded and unshielded components, follow grounding and installation guidelines for shielded cabling to maintain the effectiveness of U/FTP shielding.

Recommendations

Use this short Cat6a U/FTP cable for direct device-to-device connections where a clean, low-latency link is required. Avoid excessive bending radii and keep the cable away from strong EMI sources when possible. When integrating with shielded infrastructure, verify proper grounding of patch panels or chassis to preserve shielding performance.
