InLine Patch cable, Cat.6A, S/FTP, TPE flexible, white, 20m

The InLine Patch cable Cat.6A S/FTP TPE flexible white 20m is a 20 metre network patch cable engineered for high-speed data transmission and reduced electromagnetic interference. It uses S/FTP shielding to protect individual pairs and the overall cable from crosstalk and external noise. Fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a TPE outer jacket, the cable is designed for flexible routing in office, data centre and home network setups while maintaining Cat6A performance characteristics.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction provides improved protection against alien crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded alternatives. The TPE jacket combines flexibility with durability, making the cable easier to bend around corners and route through cable channels without compromising shielding. RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet equipment and the 20 m length allows connections between cabinets, patch panels, switches and wall sockets without additional joins.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in office and data centre environments
• Connecting switches, patch panels and network outlets over mid-range distances
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required
• Temporary or permanent installations requiring a flexible cable jacket

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6A
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foil pairs with overall braid or foil)
• Length: 20 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Outer jacket material: TPE (thermoplastic elastomer)
• Colour: White

How to use

Route the InLine Cat.6A patch cable between the two network ports that require connection, ensuring RJ-45 plugs are fully inserted into the ports until the connector latch clicks. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force; follow standard cable bend-radius guidelines to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. For wall-mounted or cabinet installations, secure the cable along its run using appropriate clips or cable management accessories to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable for runs up to 20 m without intermediate couplers. Maintain separation from high-voltage power lines and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Inspect connectors periodically for wear and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show mechanical damage. Use within temperature ranges recommended for TPE-jacketed network cabling and terminate only into compatible shielded ports when leveraging the shielding advantages.
