Network Cable Equip Cat.6A S/FTP Patch Cable RJ-45 5.0 m Grey

The Equip Cat.6A S/FTP Patch Cable (5.0 m) is a shielded Ethernet patch cord designed for high-speed network connections. Constructed from quality materials and tested to industry standards, this Cat.6A cable supports up to 10 Gbit/s data rates and is built to provide improved signal-to-noise performance in demanding environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors and S/FTP shielding reduce interference and ensure reliable connectivity for home and office networks.

Advantages

The S/FTP design combines overall foil shielding with individually shielded pairs to minimise crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. Cat.6A specification allows higher bandwidth and stable 10GBase-T performance. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. The 5 m length and durable grey jacket make the cable suitable for typical desktop, rack and patch-panel installations.

Suitable for

• 10GBase-T connections in data centers and server rooms
• High-speed office networks and uplinks
• Home networks requiring stable Gigabit and 10 Gbit/s links
• Patch panels and switch-to-switch or switch-to-server patching

Key specifications

• Length: 5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Standard: Cat.6A (10GBase-T)
• Shielding: S/FTP (Overall foil + individually shielded pairs)
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Grey
• Weight: 0.163 kg

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (switch, router, server) and the other RJ-45 plug to the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the locking tab clicks. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable; maintain the recommended bend radius for reliable signal transmission. For permanent installations, route the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

For optimal 10GBase-T performance, use this Equip Cat.6A S/FTP patch cable in environments with compatible Cat.6A-capable network equipment and avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines. Regularly inspect connectors for damage and replace the cable if shielding or connector integrity is compromised.
