Network Cable VALUE S/FTP Patch Cord Cat.6a RJ-45 1.0 m Grey

Network Cable VALUE S/FTP Patch Cord Cat.6a RJ-45 1.0 m Grey is a shielded patch cable designed for data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s and a bandwidth of 500 MHz. The prepared S/FTP (PiMF) cable uses eight conductors with foil-wrapped pairs and an overall braided shield to reduce electromagnetic interference. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors wired 1:1 according to the EIA/TIA 568 standard. The moulded kink protection increases durability while the flexible jacket supports routing in confined spaces. Impedance: 100 Ohm. Cable length: 1 m.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction (pairs in foil with full braided shielding) provides improved protection against crosstalk and external interference compared to unshielded cables. RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure straightforward plug-and-play connectivity for network devices. The moulded strain relief enhances connector longevity, and the flexible design makes the cable suitable for installations that require tight bending. Cat.6a specification supports reliable 10 Gbit/s links where required.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels and network devices in LAN environments
• Short patching runs in server rooms, comms cabinets and desktop workstations
• Shielded Cat.6a structured cabling segments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6a (S/FTP)
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Bandwidth: 500 MHz
• Impedance: 100 Ohm
• Construction: 8 conductors, pairs shielded with aluminium foil, full braided shielding
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, contact wiring 1:1 (EIA/TIA 568)

How to use

Plug the RJ-45 connector into the network port of each device until the latch clicks. Route the cable avoiding sharp metal edges and excessive tension; use the moulded kink protection to reduce stress at the connector. For structured cabling, connect the patch cord between keystone jacks, patch panels or directly between active devices according to your network layout. Verify link status on connected devices to confirm signal integrity.

Recommendations

For a fully shielded Cat.6a installation, pair this patch cord with VALUE Cat.6a S/FTP solid cable, shielded keystone jacks and shielded patch panels to maintain consistent shielding. Recommended complementary items: VALUE Cat.6a S/FTP Cable (solid wire, 100 m), shielded keystone (Cat.6a), flush mount wall jack, surface wall frame and 19" keystone patch panel to ensure proper shield continuity.
