InLine Patch cable, Cat.6A, S/FTP, TPE flexible, black, 15m

The InLine Patch cable InLine 74815S RJ-45 Cat.6A 15m black is a 15-metre network patch cable engineered for high-speed Ethernet connections up to 10 Gbit/s (10GBase-T). It uses S/FTP shielding to minimize crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, and is fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for consistent signal contact. The jacket is made of flexible TPE, providing durability and easy routing in patch panels, racks, and office or home network layouts.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding improves signal integrity in environments with multiple nearby cables or electronic equipment. The Cat.6A specification supports 10GBase-T data rates for demanding applications, while the gold-plated RJ-45 connectors reduce oxidation and help maintain reliable connections. The 15 m length offers extended reach without additional couplers, and the black TPE jacket balances flexibility with mechanical protection for regular installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in data cabinets or server rooms
• 10 Gbit/s Ethernet links for high-bandwidth applications
• Structured cabling runs in offices, workstations and home networks
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6A
• Data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s (10GBase-T)
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foil around pairs with overall braid)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Jacket material: flexible TPE
• Length: 15 m
• Colour: Black

How to use

Route the patch cable between devices ensuring both ends are fully inserted into the RJ-45 ports until the connector latch clicks. Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force during installation; maintain the cable bend radius recommended for Cat.6A to preserve performance. If multiple cables run in parallel, keep separation from high-power electrical lines where possible. Test the link after installation with suitable Ethernet testing tools to verify connectivity and performance at the intended data rate.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat.6A S/FTP patch cable in shielded or mixed-cable environments and avoid running it in the same conduit as mains power. Where 10 Gbit/s links are required over full distance, confirm both endpoint ports and intermediate patch panels are rated for Cat.6A or higher.
