LogiLink Cat.6A S/FTP SlimLine Patch Cable, TPE Jacket, Blue, 5.0 m

In a busy office where every millisecond counts, this slim blue cable keeps a workstation linked to a 10‑Gigabit switch without adding bulk to the cable tray. Its reduced‑diameter design slips through tight spaces behind desks and inside server racks, while the TPE jacket stays flexible and halogen‑free for safer indoor use.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A (Class EA), 500 MHz bandwidth
• Shielding: S/FTP (PIMF) – braided and foil per pair
• Connectors: RJ45 (8P8C), gold‑plated (50µ) contacts
• Length: 5.0 m
• Jacket: TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), halogen‑free (LSZH)
• Conductor: stranded copper, AWG 28/7
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbps (10GBASE‑T)
• Wiring: TIA/EIA 568B
• Compliance: ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173, TIA/EIA‑568‑B.2‑10
• Operating temperature: -20 °C to 60 °C

Why choose it

The SlimLine profile is about 30 % thinner than a standard Cat.6A cable, so it bends more easily and consumes less space in high‑density patching fields. Despite the slim form, full S/FTP shielding and gold‑plated plugs preserve signal integrity for 10‑Gigabit Ethernet. The TPE jacket is not only halogen‑free but also resistant to oils and abrasion, making it suitable for long‑term installations.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting high‑performance workstations to 10G switches
• Data centre top‑of‑rack cabling where space is limited
• PoE applications up to 10 Gbps (IEEE 802.3bt compatible)
• Structured cabling in offices, schools, and hospitals
• Home networks with NAS devices and 10G adapters

Good to know

The cable is supplied in a 5‑metre length with a blue jacket for easy identification. It is backward compatible with Cat.5e and Cat.6 networks. The stranded conductors allow repeated flexing without breakage, and the TPE material remains flexible even at low temperatures. This product is part of the LogiLink SlimLine series, which combines high performance with a reduced footprint.
