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

The InLine Patch cable Cat.6A S/FTP TPE flexible white 5m is a 5-metre Ethernet patch lead designed to support high-speed network connections. Built to Cat.6A standard with S/FTP shielding and flexible TPE jacket, the cable provides improved signal integrity and reduced crosstalk for demanding environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable contact and corrosion resistance, making the cable suitable for professional and home networking setups.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil with individually shielded pairs to minimise electromagnetic interference and maintain high data transmission quality. The Cat.6A specification supports higher bandwidths and is forward-compatible with common Gigabit Ethernet applications. The flexible TPE outer jacket offers greater bending resilience compared with standard PVC, helping to simplify routing and installation in confined spaces. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs deliver stable connections and improved durability over time.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches, routers and patch panels in office or data-cabinet environments
• High-speed Gigabit and 10 Gigabit-ready local area network links
• Workstation cabling where frequent repositioning or flexible routing is required

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device (switch, router, network card) and the other connector into the corresponding port on the destination device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the locking tab clicks. Avoid sharp bends or kinks near the connector ends; route the cable with gentle curves and secure it using cable ties or clips if necessary. For best signal performance, keep the patch cable separated from high-voltage power lines and large electrical equipment that may cause interference.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, use the cable within its mechanical limits: avoid repeated tight bending and excessive tensile force. Where additional shielding is required, pair this S/FTP cable with shielded network components and maintain proper grounding of cabinets and patch panels. Inspect connector contacts periodically and replace the cable if visible damage to the jacket or connectors is found.
