Equip Cat.6A F/FTP Slim Patch Cable, 0.25m, Red

The Equip Cat.6A F/FTP Slim Patch Cable is a compact, high-performance 0.25 m network cable designed for 10GBase-T connections. Its reduced diameter — almost half that of a standard Cat.6A cable — makes routing easier and saves space in high-density environments such as data centers, telecommunications rooms and crowded patch panels. The cable includes RJ-45 connectors with gold plating and F/FTP shielding to ensure reliable high-speed data transmission up to 10000 Mbit/s.

Advantages

The slim construction allows more cables to be installed in the same conduit or patch panel space, reducing the need for pathway expansion. F/FTP shielding minimizes electromagnetic interference for stable 10GBase-T performance. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve conductivity and resist corrosion, while the 0.25 m length is suitable for short patching between adjacent ports.

Suitable for

• Short connections between adjacent switches or patch panels
• High-density installations in data centers and server rooms
• Workstation and office network patching where space is limited
• 10GBase-T network segments requiring shielded cabling

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.25 m
• Cabling technology: 10GBase-T (Cat.6A)
• Shielding: F/FTP (foil overall with foil-pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Red
• Weight: 0.016 kg

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the source device (switch, patch panel or network outlet) and the other RJ-45 plug to the destination port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and latched. Use the 0.25 m length for short patching between adjacent ports to avoid excess cable slack. Maintain proper bend radius and avoid sharp kinks to preserve shielding and performance.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this F/FTP Cat.6A slim patch cable in shielded racks or environments where grounding of patch panels and equipment is consistent to ensure effective EMI protection. Avoid running the cable next to high-power mains conductors unless adequate separation or additional shielding is provided.
