InLine Patch cable, Cat.6A, S/FTP, TPE flexible, white, 0.5m

This InLine Patch cable Cat.6A S/FTP TPE flexible white 0.5m is a short, high-performance Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in structured cabling and network equipment interconnections. The cable uses Cat.6A specification with S/FTP shielding and flexible TPE jacket, and is fitted with RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to maintain consistent signal integrity in high-speed 10/100/1000Base-T(X) applications. Its compact 0.5 m length and white colour make it suitable for tidy, short-range patching in server racks, patch panels and desktop setups.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction provides overall foil shielding plus individually shielded pairs, reducing crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference for improved transmission stability. Flexible TPE outer material increases bend-resistance and handling comfort while maintaining durability in repeated plug cycles. Gold-plated contacts on RJ-45 plugs enhance corrosion resistance and ensure stable contact performance. The short 0.5 m length minimises cable clutter and latency in close-proximity connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting network devices over short distances in server racks and patch panels
• Desk-level connections between switches, routers, VoIP phones and PCs
• High-speed 10/100/1000Base-T(X) Ethernet installations requiring shielded cabling
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is needed

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6A
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded twisted pairs)
• Jacket material: Flexible TPE
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Supported signalling: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Colour: White

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use the cable for short patching runs between network equipment such as switches, patch panels, routers and workstations. Ensure the connectors are fully seated and avoid excessive bending near the connector ends; maintain a smooth bend radius to preserve shield and pair integrity. For shielded installations, verify proper grounding of connected equipment to take full advantage of the S/FTP shielding.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable length appropriate to the connection distance to minimise excess slack. Avoid kinking and sharp bends; route the cable through defined cable management paths in racks or under desks. In installations sensitive to interference, pair this shielded Cat.6A cable with properly grounded shielded patch panels and connectors to ensure maximum EMI protection.
