Good Connections Cat.6A S/FTP Patch Cable, 5m, Orange, Halogen-Free, 10Gbps, RJ45

In a busy office, a network engineer needs a reliable cable to connect a workstation to a 10-Gigabit switch without worrying about interference or signal loss. The Good Connections Cat.6A S/FTP Patch Cable delivers that confidence with its robust shielding and high-performance construction, ensuring stable connections even in electrically noisy environments.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A (Class EA)
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF) – pairs in metal foil plus overall braid
• Length: 5 meters
• Colour: Orange
• Conductor: Stranded copper (Cu), 26/7 AWG
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Bandwidth: up to 500 MHz
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T)
• Connectors: Shielded RJ45 male to RJ45 male, 1:1 pinout (TIA/EIA 568B)
• Boot: Molded with snagless protection
• Outer diameter: approx. 6.2 mm
• Standards: ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173; flame retardant IEC 60332-1

Why choose it

This cable is built for demanding network installations where performance and safety are critical. The S/FTP shielding minimizes crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, while the LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke and corrosive gases in case of fire, making it ideal for public buildings and offices. The snagless boots protect the locking tabs during installation, and the stranded copper conductors offer flexibility for frequent moves.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting servers and switches in data centers
• High-speed workstation connections for video editing or large file transfers
• Structured cabling in offices and commercial buildings
• Areas with high electromagnetic interference, such as near machinery

Good to know

The cable is fully backward compatible with Cat.5e and Cat.6 networks, so you can use it in existing setups and be ready for future upgrades. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 100W, allowing you to power devices like IP cameras or access points through the same cable. The orange colour provides high visibility for easy identification in crowded racks.
