InLine Patch cable, Cat.6A, S/FTP, TPE flexible, grey, 2m

The InLine Patch Cable Cat.6A S/FTP TPE Flexible Grey 2m is a 2-meter network patch cable engineered for reliable Ethernet connections. Constructed with S/FTP shielding and Cat.6A specifications, the cable supports high-speed 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networking and is fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors. The thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) jacket provides a balance of flexibility and durability, while the grey finish offers a discreet, professional appearance suitable for office and data center environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP design minimizes electromagnetic interference by combining an overall foil with individually shielded pairs, improving signal integrity for demanding network applications. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs enhance contact reliability and reduce oxidation over time. The TPE outer jacket offers improved flexibility compared with standard PVC, making the cable easier to route in tight spaces and less prone to cracking from repeated bending. Cat.6A specification ensures support for gigabit Ethernet and enhanced performance margins for future-proofed installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, and patch panels in office networks
• Workstation and desktop Ethernet connections
• Structured cabling within wiring closets and small data centers
• Temporary or mobile setups where flexible cabling is required

How to use

Ensure both networking devices are powered off or their network ports are active and then insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until it clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain a bend radius consistent with manufacturer guidance for Cat.6A cables. For patch panel or switch installations, label both ends if required for identification and verify the link status via device LEDs or network diagnostics once connected.

Recommendations

For optimal long-term performance, avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage power lines and keep separation from strong EMI sources. Use cable ties or Velcro straps loosely to prevent pinching the sheath. When installing in permanent structured cabling, follow local fire and building codes; use appropriate conduits or trays as required.
