Equip Cat.6A F/FTP Slim Patch Cable 1.5m Blue 10000 Mbit/s

The equip® Cat.6A F/FTP Slim Patch Cable 1.5m in blue provides high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in a reduced-diameter jacket. With a slim 3.8 mm cable diameter and F/FTP (foil over each pair plus overall braid) shielding, this 1.5 m patch cable is designed for dense installations where space and cable routing are limited while still meeting Cat6a performance up to 500 MHz and supporting 10000 Mbit/s data rates.

Advantages

The slim 3.8 mm construction allows for higher cable density in racks and patch panels compared with standard Cat6A cables, simplifying cable management and saving pathway space. F/FTP shielding (foil per pair plus braid) reduces EMI/RFI interference and makes the cable suitable for environments with higher electromagnetic noise. Stranded bare copper conductors (AWG 32/7), molded boots with strain relief and LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket ensure flexibility, durability and improved safety in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centres and server rooms
• Patching between switches, patch panels and network devices
• High-density cabling runs where space saving is required
• Power over Ethernet deployments (PoE, PoE+)

• Jacket: LSZH / LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network switch, router or patch panel and the other RJ-45 plug to the target device or port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and the molded boots sit flush against ports to maintain strain relief. Use standard Cat6a cabling practices: avoid sharp bends, keep the cable away from strong electrical noise sources where possible and route through appropriate cable management for best performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this slim Cat.6A F/FTP patch cable in high-density racks and patch panels; maintain bend radius recommendations from the equipment manufacturer and avoid over-tight bundling. The cable supports PoE and PoE+ but confirm power budgets of connected devices. Store and install in dry conditions and follow site grounding practices for shielded cabling.
