Networking Cable Renkforce RF-4149837 0.5m Cat6a U/FTP

The Renkforce RF-4149837 0.5m Cat6a U/FTP networking cable is a short patch cable designed for reliable wired connections in home and office networks. It features Cat6a performance with U/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends, and is finished in grey. The cable is slim and flexible, allowing installation under carpets, behind skirting boards or along floor edges while maintaining a low bend radius. The molded plug design includes strain relief and a latch guard for protected connector release and improved durability.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable supports high-speed LAN data transfer up to 10 000 Mbps, delivering stable throughput for HD streaming, gaming, NAS access and other bandwidth-intensive tasks. The U/FTP shielding (foil around each pair plus an overall shield) reduces interference from nearby electrical cables and equipment, helping to maintain signal integrity in noisy environments. The LSZH-compatible jacket reduces the risk of toxic gas release in the event of a fire, and the copper conductor offers lower resistance and improved mechanical flexibility compared with coated or aluminum alternatives.

Suitable for

• Connecting router, switch or patch panel within a local network
• Linking NAS, game console, smart TV or VoIP phone to a wired LAN
• Routing cable under carpet or along skirting boards where a low-profile cable is required
• Short patch connections in small offices, server cabinets or AV installations

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (supports up to 10 000 Mbps over appropriate infrastructure)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Shielding: U/FTP (foil shield on each pair plus overall shielding)
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends with molded strain relief and latch guard
• Conductor material: copper core
• Jacket type: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) / robust protective jacket
• Cable profile: slim, low bend radius, suitable for discreet routing (approx. 3 mm thick as described by manufacturer)

How to use

Plug RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices, for example between a router and a switch, from a router to a Powerline adapter, or directly from a device to a patch panel. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks; the molded latch guard and strain relief protect the plug during insertion and removal. Route the cable along skirting boards, under carpets or behind furniture as needed, observing the cable's bend radius to avoid tight kinks that could affect performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a cable for short runs up to the length specified and avoid sharp bends or crushing forces. Keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources where possible, and verify compatibility with your network equipment to achieve the intended 10 000 Mbps performance.
