InLine Patch cable, Cat.6A, S/FTP, TPE flexible, grey, 10m

The InLine Patch Cable Cat.6A S/FTP TPE Flexible Grey 10m is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for high-performance wired networks. This 10 meter cable uses S/FTP shielding to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, and it is fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors at both ends. The flexible TPE outer jacket eases routing in server rooms, offices, or home installations while maintaining consistent signal quality for Gigabit Ethernet applications.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding construction provides improved protection against external interference compared with unshielded cables, supporting more stable data transmission in environments with electrical noise. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors enhance corrosion resistance and contact reliability. The TPE flexible jacket offers better bendability and durability for repeated moves or tight installation paths, and the 10 m length covers typical distances between racks, patch panels, and network devices without additional couplers.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office and server-room environments
• Home networking where longer runs are required with reduced interference
• Structured cabling links in small businesses and workgroups
• Installations requiring flexible cable routing through furniture or cable trays

Key specifications

• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 10 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Outer jacket material: TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), flexible
• Supported cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Uncoil the cable and route it between the network devices ensuring minimal sharp bends to preserve signal integrity. Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks. For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines or heavy electrical equipment; if crossing is necessary, do so at a right angle. Verify link activity and network speed on connected devices to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

For optimal longevity, avoid kinking or excessive tension on the cable. Use the 10 m length to position switches and patch panels within recommended reach and keep shielded terminations intact by not removing the cable housing. When deploying in areas with significant electromagnetic interference, ensure both ends are connected to properly grounded equipment to maximize the benefits of S/FTP shielding.
