GoodConnections RNS Cat. 6A S/FTP Patch Cable with Latch Protection, Halogen-Free, 500 MHz, Violet, 20 m

Network downtime and damaged connectors are common frustrations in busy environments. The GoodConnections RNS Cat. 6A patch cable addresses both: its reinforced latch protection prevents accidental disconnections and broken clips, while the S/FTP shielding and 500 MHz bandwidth ensure stable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance over 20 metres. The halogen-free jacket adds safety in case of fire, making it suitable for offices, data centres, and industrial settings.

Who is it for

IT professionals, network administrators, and businesses that require reliable high-speed connections in areas where cables are frequently moved or plugged and unplugged. It is also ideal for installations in public buildings where low-smoke, halogen-free materials are mandated.
