InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.6A halogen free 500MHz grey 0.5m

InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.6A halogen free 500MHz grey 0.5m is a short, high-performance Ethernet patch cable designed for professional cabling in data centres and server racks. It complies with the Cat.6A standard, supports up to 500 MHz bandwidth and features S/FTP (shielded/foil twisted pair) construction with pair‑in‑metal‑foil (PiMF) to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. The cable is halogen-free and terminated with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for reliable signal transmission.

Advantages

The S/FTP PiMF shielding provides improved protection against near-end and far-end crosstalk and external EMI, making the cable suitable for dense rack environments. Compliance with Cat.6A and a 500 MHz bandwidth ensures support for Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over short runs. Halogen-free jacket material reduces hazardous fumes in the event of fire, and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors offer corrosion resistance and stable contact quality.

Suitable for

• Patch connections in data centres and server racks
• Short 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between switches and servers
• High-density cabling environments requiring shielded cabling
• Professional network installations where halogen-free materials are required

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat.6A
• Shielding: S/FTP PiMF
• Bandwidth: 500 MHz
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Grey
• Halogen-free: Yes

How to use

Connect each RJ-45 connector to the corresponding Ethernet ports on network switches, patch panels or servers. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and maintain proper cable routing in the rack to minimise interference. Use this 0.5 m patch cable for short links within racks or between adjacent equipment.

Recommendations

For best results in 10 Gigabit applications, use this Cat.6A S/FTP PiMF cable for short, direct patching inside racks and verify end-to-end link speed after installation. Avoid running the cable in parallel with unshielded power lines to reduce EMI exposure.
