Network cable Flexline FL31-29075 — Cat6a U/FTP (STP), 10 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45, black

Flexline FL31-29075 is a 10 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP) Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for 10GBase-T networks. The cable supports data rates up to 10 000 Mbit/s and features gold-plated contacts for consistent signal transfer. With foil-shielded pairs and an overall shield, this Cat6a cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, making it suitable for high-speed LAN links, server connections and structured cabling in offices and homes.

Advantages

The U/FTP (STP) construction provides pair-level foil shielding plus an overall shield to limit external interference and maintain signal integrity at higher frequencies required by 10GBase-T. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs improve corrosion resistance and ensure stable contact over repeated insertions. The 10 m length offers flexibility in routing between patch panels, switches and endpoint devices without excessive slack. The black jacket provides a neutral appearance for professional and residential installations.

Suitable for

• 10GBase-T Ethernet links in office and data center environments
• High-speed connections between servers, switches and NAS devices
• Structured cabling runs for workstations and conferencing equipment
• Home networking setups requiring shielded Cat6a performance

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of a switch, router or server and the other RJ-45 plug to the target device or wall outlet. Route the cable avoiding tight bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for Cat6a cables. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and latched to establish a secure mechanical and electrical connection. For permanent installations, use appropriate cable management such as cable ties and trays to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use this shielded Cat6a cable in environments where reduced interference and high bandwidth are required. When connecting devices in mixed-shielded and unshielded installations, verify proper grounding of the shielding to preserve its effectiveness. For guaranteed 10G performance, test the installed link with appropriate network testers and keep cable runs within recommended maximum lengths for 10GBase-T.
