InLine Patch cable, Cat.6A, S/FTP, TPE flexible, grey, 40m

The InLine Patch Cable Cat.6A S/FTP TPE Flexible Grey 40m is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable high-speed network connections over a long run. The cable conforms to Cat6a performance characteristics and uses S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference. The outer jacket is made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), offering a balance of flexibility and durability for installations that require routing through cable channels or around equipment. Both ends are terminated with standard RJ-45 connectors in a neutral grey finish.

Advantages

This Cat6A S/FTP cable provides enhanced protection against crosstalk and external EMI thanks to its individual pair foil and overall braid shielding. The 40 m length allows for extended runs without intermediate patching, minimizing signal loss and reducing installation complexity. TPE jacket material adds flexibility for easier handling and improved longevity compared with brittle jackets, while RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with standard network equipment. The neutral grey colour supports unobtrusive installation in offices, server rooms, or industrial settings.

Suitable for

• Backbone and horizontal network runs in office and data centre environments
• High-speed Ethernet applications up to Cat6A performance levels
• Connections between switches, patch panels and networked devices over medium to long distances
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and reliable shielding

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A (augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall braid with individually foil-shielded twisted pairs
• Length: 40 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Outer jacket material: Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE)
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Route the cable between network endpoints, avoiding sharp bends and routing near strong sources of electromagnetic interference where possible. Plug the RJ-45 connectors firmly into compatible ports on switches, patch panels, network interface cards or other devices. For best performance, maintain recommended bend radius and avoid tight bundling with unshielded power lines. When making long installations, secure the cable with appropriate clips or cable management to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For reliable Cat6A performance, verify that connected equipment and patch panels support the desired Ethernet speeds. In environments with high EMI, ensure proper grounding of shielded components and avoid running the cable in direct contact with power cabling. Regularly inspect connectors and jacket condition in high-traffic or movable installations.
