Network Cable Equip Cat.6A U/FTP Flat Patch Cable RJ-45 5m Yellow

The equip® Cat.6A U/FTP Flat Patch Cable (5 m, yellow) is a high-performance network cable designed for 10GBase-T applications. It features U/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and RJ-45 connectors with gold plating for reliable contact and signal transmission. The flat form factor saves space and simplifies routing in tight areas, suitable for home and office network installations.

Advantages

The Cat.6A U/FTP construction provides enhanced protection against crosstalk and external interference while supporting data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s. Its flat profile makes cable management easier under carpets, along skirting boards or in crowded wiring ducts, and the yellow jacket improves visibility for identification. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Suitable for

• 10GBase-T network links in offices and data closets
• Home network connections between routers, switches and PCs
• Installations in constrained spaces (under carpets, along skirting boards)
• Patch panels and short-distance horizontal runs

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network device (router, switch, PC) and the other end to the corresponding port of the other device. Route the flat cable along walls, skirting boards or under carpets as needed to minimise obstruction. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force when installing to preserve shielding and connector integrity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs within recommended lengths for 10GBase-T and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines. Inspect connectors before use and ensure ports are free of dust. If used in permanent installations, secure the cable gently with low-pressure clips to prevent deformation of the flat profile.
