InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.6A halogen free 500MHz grey 20m

The InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.6A halogen free 500MHz grey 20m is a 20-metre network patch cable engineered for professional cabling in data centers and server racks. It supports Gigabit and 10 Gigabit networks, offers a bandwidth up to 500 MHz and is made from halogen-free materials. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors and the S/FTP (screened foiled twisted pair with overall braid) shielding provides robust protection against electromagnetic interference.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat.6A specification and 500 MHz rating enable stable high-speed transmission for demanding network environments. S/FTP PiMF shielding minimizes crosstalk and external interference, improving signal integrity. Halogen-free construction reduces toxic emissions in case of fire. The 20 m length and standard RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility and easy installation in racks and patch panels.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Data center uplinks and server-to-switch connections
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet installations
• Rack-mounted patching and structured cabling
• Environments requiring halogen-free cabling

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network switch or patch panel port and the other RJ-45 plug to the server or endpoint device. Route the cable through rack channels or cable management trays to maintain orderly installation and avoid sharp bends. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and locked into the ports to maintain reliable contact.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the patch cable parallel and close to large power cables or sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Use appropriate cable management to prevent kinks and maintain bend radius, and replace damaged cables to preserve network integrity.
