Networking cable Flexline FL31-29155 Cat6a U/FTP (STP) 1.5 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold contacts

Flexline FL31-29155 Cat6a U/FTP (STP) 1.5 m networking cable with RJ-45 to RJ-45 connectors is designed for high-speed wired Ethernet links. The cable follows Cat6a shielding (U/FTP) to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, and its gold-plated contact surfaces maintain reliable electrical contact and corrosion resistance. With a 1.5 m length it is suited for short runs between devices, patch panels and switches in office and home network setups, supporting data rates up to 10 000 Mbit/s for demanding applications.

Advantages

The U/FTP (STP) construction provides improved protection against external interference compared with unshielded cables, helping to preserve signal integrity at higher data rates. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve long-term contact reliability and reduce oxidation at connector interfaces. The 1.5 m length balances flexibility and neat cable management for close device connections, while Cat6a specification enables 10 Gbps performance where compatible hardware and infrastructure are used.

Suitable for

• Short Ethernet connections between computers, NAS devices and switches
• Patch panel to switch or switch to wall outlet links in office racks
• Home networking for streaming, gaming and file transfers
• Environments where reduced EMI and crosstalk are needed

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall unshielded with individually foil‑shielded pairs — STP)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact finish: gold-plated contacts
• Length: 1.5 m
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10 000 Mbit/s

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet ports of the devices to be connected until the latch clicks into place. Ensure connected devices (network cards, switches, patch panels) support Cat6a performance for full 10 Gbit/s capability; otherwise the connection will operate at the highest mutually supported speed. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid running it parallel and close to power cables to minimize potential interference. For rack or patch panel installations, leave a small service loop to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

To maintain optimal performance, use this Cat6a U/FTP cable in shielded or properly grounded installations where EMI may affect signal quality. Verify connector seating and periodic inspection for physical damage; replace the cable if the jacket or connectors are cracked or excessively worn.
