InLine Patch cable, Cat.6A, S/FTP, TPE flexible, grey, 50m

The InLine Patch Cable Cat.6A S/FTP TPE Flexible Grey 50m is a shielded network cable engineered for stable high-speed data transmission over moderate distances. Constructed with S/FTP shielding and a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) jacket, this 50-metre cable combines reduced electromagnetic interference with mechanical flexibility for routing in server rooms, offices and home networks. Both ends feature standard RJ-45 connectors to connect switches, routers, patch panels and network devices supporting Cat6A performance.

Advantages

This Cat.6A S/FTP cable provides improved protection against crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference thanks to its overall shield and individually screened pairs. The TPE outer jacket offers enhanced flexibility compared with rigid PVC, aiding cable management and installation in confined spaces and around sharp bends. A 50 m length reduces the need for additional joins, maintaining signal integrity across a single continuous run while the RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with common Ethernet equipment.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within office wiring and data closets
• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels and network appliances
• Structured cabling runs where flexibility and shielded protection are required
• Temporary or permanent installations in environments with possible EMI

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6A S/FTP (overall shield with individually screened pairs)
• Length: 50 m
• Jacket material: TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), grey
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Suitable for: up to 10 Gbps Ethernet over specified distances for Cat6A
• Flexible design for routing and cable management

How to use

Route the cable between network devices ensuring the run does not exceed recommended Cat6A distance limits for desired data rates. Avoid sharp kinks and maintain bend radius recommended for structured cabling to preserve performance. Plug the RJ-45 connectors into compatible ports on switches, routers or patch panels; verify link status on connected devices. For permanent installations, use appropriate cable ties or clips that do not compress the jacket and, where necessary, follow local grounding practices for shielded cabling.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable away from high-power electrical lines and large motors to minimize electromagnetic interference. When installing in racks or conduits, observe bend radius and avoid tight bundling that could affect shielding and signal quality. Consider labeled terminations or color-coding at both ends to simplify maintenance and future changes to the network.
