Networking Cable Renkforce RF-4149846 Cat6a U/FTP 5m Grey

The Renkforce RF-4149846 Cat6a U/FTP 5 m grey networking cable is a flat, low-profile patch cable with RJ45 connectors at both ends. At approximately 3 mm thickness and a very low bend radius, it can be routed under carpets, laminate, or behind skirting boards. The cable features U/FTP shielding, a copper conductor, a robust PVC jacket and LSZH option characteristics to reduce toxic emissions in the event of fire.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable supports data rates up to 10,000 Mbps for high-speed LAN connections and offers improved noise suppression thanks to foil-shielded twisted pairs (U/FTP). The molded plugs include a latch guard and strain relief to protect the connector and allow safe release. The thicker copper core (lower AWG) provides lower resistance and better mechanical resilience compared with cables using inferior conductors. Molded length markings on the plugs help keep installations organized. The cable meets RoHS and REACH requirements.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and patch panels
• Wired connections for AVM FRITZ!Box, Powerline adapters, NAS, game consoles and smart TVs
• VoIP phones and small office LANs
• Installations under carpets, behind skirting boards or in narrow cable ducts

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6a (10 Gbps)
• Shielding: U/FTP (foil per pair plus overall protection)
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ45 — both ends
• Colour: Grey
• Cable profile: flat, approx. 3 mm thickness, low bend radius
• Conductor: copper core
• Jacket: PVC (LSZH properties noted in description)
• Compliance: RoHS, REACH

How to use

Route the flat cable along the desired path and insert RJ45 plugs into the network devices until the latch clicks. Use the molded strain relief to unplug by pulling the cable rather than stressing the connector. The low-profile design allows placement under floor coverings or behind skirting boards; avoid sharp folds and excessive tensile force when installing to maintain cable integrity and performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines and avoid tight bends below the specified bend radius. Use the 5 m length for short runs inside rooms or between adjacent racks; for longer distances, choose an appropriately longer Cat6a cable. If installation is in poorly ventilated public spaces, prefer LSZH jackets where local safety rules require reduced smoke/halogen emissions.
