Networking cable Flexline FL31-29055 Cat6a U/FTP (STP) Black, 5 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold contacts

Flexline FL31-29055 Cat6a U/FTP (STP) networking cable, 5 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts is designed for high-speed Ethernet connections in home, office and server environments. This shielded Cat6a cable supports data rates up to 10 000 Mbit/s and provides improved protection against electromagnetic interference thanks to its U/FTP (STP) construction. The black jacket and standard RJ-45 connectors make it compatible with common network devices and patch panels.

Advantages

The U/FTP (STP) shielding reduces crosstalk and external interference for more stable 10GbE and Gigabit connections. Gold-plated contacts enhance conductivity and resist corrosion for reliable signal transmission over time. At 5 m length the cable offers flexibility for typical desk, rack or wall-mounted installations while maintaining Category 6a performance characteristics.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, servers and network interfaces
• Gigabit Ethernet connections in offices, home networks and media centers
• Patch panel to switch or wall outlet to switch connections in structured cabling
• Environments where shielding is needed to reduce electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall braid with individually shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Length: 5 m
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10 000 Mbit/s
• Color: black

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the Ethernet port of your device and the other RJ-45 plug to the port on the switch, router or patch panel. Ensure plugs are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use the 5 m length to route the cable without tight bends or kinks; maintain bend radius recommended for Cat6a cables and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimize interference.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use compatible Cat6a-rated network hardware and maintain proper cable management in racks and enclosures. When installing in environments with significant electromagnetic noise, verify grounding of shielded connectors and related components to ensure the U/FTP shielding functions effectively.
