Networking cable Flexline FL31-29015 Cat6a U/FTP (STP) Black 0.5 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold contacts, 10 Gbps

Flexline FL31-29015 is a 0.5 m Cat6a patch cable with U/FTP (STP) shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Engineered for short, high-speed connections, this black cable supports data rates up to 10 Gbps and is intended for linking switches, routers, patch panels and other network devices in offices, data centers and home networks. Gold-plated contacts improve signal transfer and resist corrosion for longer reliable service.

Advantages

The U/FTP (STP) shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk for more stable transmission in environments with dense cabling or nearby electrical equipment. Cat6a specification provides headroom for 10 Gbps Ethernet applications over short distances, while the compact 0.5 m length keeps cable runs tidy and minimizes excess slack. Gold contacts ensure consistent connectivity and lower contact resistance.

Suitable for

• Short connections between switches and patch panels in racks
• Linking routers and network devices in offices and server rooms
• High-speed desktop or workstation uplinks
• Compact setups in home networking where minimal cable length is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall unshielded with individually shielded pairs / foil-shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10 Gbps
• Length: 0.5 m
• Color: Black

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the LAN port of your switch, router or network interface and the other end to the corresponding port on the destination device. Ensure connectors latch securely to prevent accidental disconnection. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and kinks in the cable and keep it separated from sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m Cat6a U/FTP cable for short, high-performance connections inside racks, between adjacent devices, or in compact desktop setups. Do not use for long-distance backbone runs; choose longer or higher-specification cabling for runs that exceed recommended limits for Cat6a performance.
