InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.6A halogen free 500MHz red 3m

The InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.6A halogen free 500MHz red 3m is a high-quality Ethernet patch cable designed for professional cabling in Gigabit and 10 Gigabit environments. With S/FTP (shielded foiled twisted pair) PiMF construction and support up to 500 MHz, the cable offers improved signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference. The halogen-free jacket improves safety in case of fire. Both ends feature RJ-45 connectors and the 3 m length suits rack-to-rack or patch panel connections in data centers, server rooms and structured cabling installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP PiMF design provides individual pair shielding plus overall foil to minimise crosstalk and external noise, supporting stable high-speed data transmission. The Cat.6A specification and 500 MHz rating make the cable suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. A halogen-free outer jacket reduces hazardous gas emissions in case of fire. Red colouring allows easy visual identification in cable bundles and rack environments. Standard RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with common networking equipment.

Suitable for

• Data centre patching between switches and patch panels
• Server rack connections and uplinks
• High-speed office and enterprise networks supporting 10 GBASE-T
• Structured cabling installations requiring halogen-free materials

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat.6A
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF)
• Frequency: up to 500 MHz
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 — RJ-45
• Jacket: halogen-free
• Colour: red

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network device (switch, server or patch panel) and the other RJ-45 connector to the corresponding port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain. Use appropriate cable management (cable ties, horizontal managers) in racks and patch panels to maintain orderly runs and reduce stress on connectors.

Recommendations

For best performance in 10 Gigabit environments, keep patch-cable length within recommended limits and avoid bundling with large power cables. Verify both ends are inserted into compatible RJ-45 ports and maintain clear labelling — the red colour can be used to mark specific circuits or critical links.
