InLine Patch cable, Cat.6A, S/FTP, TPE flexible, grey, 5m

This InLine Patch cable Cat.6A S/FTP TPE flexible grey 5m is a 5 metre Ethernet patch cable designed to meet Cat.6A performance requirements. The cable features S/FTP shielding (overall braid with individually shielded pairs) to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and flexible TPE outer material for ease of routing and durability. Both ends terminate in gold-plated RJ-45 connectors suitable for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networking environments, providing stable connections for high-speed data transmission.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction offers enhanced protection against external noise and pair-to-pair interference compared with unshielded cables, helping to maintain signal integrity at higher frequencies. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve contact reliability and resist corrosion. The flexible TPE jacket balances flexibility and robustness, allowing the cable to bend in tight spaces while remaining resistant to wear from repeated handling. The 5 m length provides a practical reach for many home and office setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, printers and NAS devices to network switches or routers
• Patching between wall outlets and patch panels in office cabling
• High-speed LAN applications requiring Cat.6A performance and reduced interference
• Environments where flexible cable routing is needed, such as under desks or through conduits

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6A
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid plus individually shielded pairs)
• Outer jacket material: TPE (flexible)
• Length: 5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Rated for: 10/100/1000Base-T(X) Ethernet
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks. Ensure both ends are seated firmly in the switch, router or device ports. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference (such as large transformers or unshielded power cables). For structured cabling, use appropriate cable management to prevent strain on connectors and maintain performance over time.

Recommendations

Use this Cat.6A S/FTP cable for short to medium runs where improved shielding and Cat.6A performance are required. Avoid kinking the cable and keep bend radius within typical Ethernet cable limits. Do not expose the cable to prolonged direct sunlight or temperatures outside the operating range of typical indoor network installations.
