InLine Patch cable, Cat.6A, S/FTP, TPE flexible, black, 25m

The InLine Patch cable Cat.6A S/FTP TPE flexible black 25m is a 25-metre network cable designed to support high-speed Ethernet connections conforming to the Cat.6A standard. It features S/FTP shielding to minimise electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and a flexible thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) jacket for easier routing and increased durability. Both ends are fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to ensure consistent signal transfer and corrosion resistance.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding provides improved protection against external interference and reduces internal pair-to-pair crosstalk compared with unshielded cables. The Cat.6A specification enables stable data transmission at higher frequencies suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over suitable distances. The flexible TPE jacket offers better bend resistance and handling compared with stiffer materials, making installation in cable trays, under desks or through conduits more convenient. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact reliability and long-term performance.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in offices, data centres or server rooms
• High-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, VoIP and large file transfers
• Structured cabling between network switches, patch panels and wall outlets
• Temporary or permanent deployments where a 25 m cable length is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6A
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield with individually shielded pairs)
• Jacket material: flexible TPE
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends, gold-plated contacts
• Length: 25 m
• Colour: black

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network device (switch, router, network card) and the other connector to the corresponding port on a second device or patch panel. Avoid tight bends or sharp kinks in the cable; maintain a gentle bend radius during routing to preserve performance. For installed cabling, secure the cable with appropriate clips or cable ties without compressing the jacket to prevent damage to the internal shielding.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat.6A S/FTP cable in shielded or earthed environments where possible, and ensure terminations are made with compatible shielded RJ-45 ports or adapters. Keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference such as large motors or fluorescent ballasts, and avoid bundling with power cables.
