InLine Patch cable, Cat.6A, S/FTP, TPE flexible, black, 3m

The InLine Patch cable Cat.6A S/FTP TPE flexible black 3m is a 3 metre network patch cable engineered for high-speed Gigabit and 10GBase-T connections. Constructed with S/FTP shielding and Category 6A transmission characteristics, the cable supports data rates up to 10,000 Mbit/s and is fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The flexible TPE outer jacket provides improved bendability for installations in confined spaces while maintaining mechanical durability and a professional black appearance.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding construction reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity for demanding network environments. Category 6A performance allows stable 10GBase-T operation across 3 metres, suitable for short-run high-speed links. The flexible TPE jacket combines elasticity with robustness, making the cable easy to route through cable channels and around equipment without kinking. Standard RJ-45 connectors ensure broad compatibility with switches, routers, patch panels and network devices.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 m
• Cabling technology: 10GBase-T
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Outer jacket material: flexible TPE
• Colour: black
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10,000 Mbit/s

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of your switch, router or device and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port on the remote device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable so that bends remain gentle and avoid sharp kinks; the flexible TPE jacket facilitates routing through tight spaces. For 10GBase-T links, use the cable for short runs up to 3 metres as part of a Category 6A compliant installation to maintain optimal performance.

Recommendations

For best results, avoid tight coils and excessive tensile strain when installing the cable. Keep the cable clear of strong electromagnetic sources and power cabling to minimize interference. When used in rack-mounted patching, label each end to simplify maintenance and ensure consistent high-speed performance by verifying that connected devices and ports support 10GBase-T.
