InLine Patch cable, Cat.6A, S/FTP, TPE flexible, grey, 20m

The InLine Patch Cable Cat.6A S/FTP TPE Flexible Grey 20m is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network connections over a 20 metre distance. It combines S/FTP shielding with a TPE outer sheath to provide signal protection and mechanical flexibility. The cable terminates in standard RJ-45 connectors on both ends and is intended for structured cabling in residential and business environments where Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance and reduced crosstalk are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction offers overall foil shielding plus individually shielded twisted pairs to minimise electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting stable high-bandwidth transmission. The TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) jacket improves flexibility and durability compared with stiffer materials, making the cable easier to route in cable ducts and around corners. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with common network devices and patch panels. The 20 m length provides extended reach without additional couplers for many installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in home and office networks
• Structured cabling installations requiring shielded Cat6A performance
• High-speed data transfer applications up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short to medium distances
• Environments where cable flexibility is needed for routing through cramped spaces

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6A (Class EA)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually shielded pairs)
• Jacket material: TPE (thermoplastic elastomer)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 20 m
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Uncoil the cable carefully to avoid kinks and route it between devices, ensuring connector clips face the correct direction for insertion. Plug RJ-45 connectors firmly into the network ports of switches, routers, computers or patch panels until a tactile click is felt. Avoid tight bending radii and pinching; keep the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference when possible. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate cable management accessories without compressing the jacket.

Recommendations

For optimal signal integrity, maintain minimum bend radius as recommended by industry standards (typically four times the cable diameter), avoid running the cable parallel and close to power lines, and verify link performance after installation with appropriate network testing tools when used in critical applications.
