InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.6 250MHz PVC copper green 5m

The InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.6 250MHz PVC copper green 5m is a Category 6 patch lead engineered for reliable horizontal and patching connections in structured networks. Constructed with individually foil-shielded pairs and an overall braid, the S/FTP PiMF design reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference up to frequencies of 250 MHz. The 5 m length and flexible PVC jacket make the cable suitable for connecting switches, patch panels and network devices in offices, server rooms and home networks while maintaining copper conductor performance for typical Ethernet and data applications.

Advantages

The cable offers enhanced signal integrity due to S/FTP PiMF shielding, which combines foil around each twisted pair with an overall braided shield to lower near-end crosstalk and outside noise. The Cat.6 specification supports higher data rates and bandwidth compared to lower-category cables, and the 250 MHz rating ensures headroom for Gigabit Ethernet and many enterprise applications. The PVC outer jacket provides mechanical protection and flexibility for routing in cable trays and under desks. A green jacket allows easy visual identification in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in LAN and office networks
• Workstation and desktop Ethernet connections
• Cable runs in data closets, server rooms and structured cabling systems
• Temporary or fixed installations where 5 m reach is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6 (meets Cat.6 performance up to 250 MHz)
• Shielding: S/FTP (foil around each pair + overall braid)
• Conductor material: copper
• Jacket material: PVC
• Length: 5 m
• Colour: green

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding ports on network devices, ensuring secure clicks at both ends. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp edges; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for copper patch cables to preserve performance. For installations in shielded environments, ensure proper grounding of the cable shields at one or both ends according to your system grounding practice. Test the link after installation with appropriate network testers to confirm continuity and performance to Cat.6 levels.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the S/FTP PiMF Cat.6 cable parallel to mains power lines and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Use labelled connections to take advantage of the green jacket for easy identification, and perform periodic checks in high-traffic areas to prevent mechanical damage to the PVC jacket.
