Patch Cable InLine Cat.6A S/FTP Slim TPE (LSZH) PoE, yellow, 3 m

The InLine Cat.6A S/FTP Slim TPE (LSZH) PoE patch cable, 3 m, yellow, is a slim, screened network cable designed for high-density installations. Constructed with AWG28 pure copper conductors and S/FTP shielding (foil around each pair plus overall braid), it supports full Cat6A performance up to 500 MHz and 10 Gbit/s for reliable connections up to 30 m. The flexible TPE sheath is low-smoke and halogen-free (LSZH), making the cable suitable for environments that require reduced toxic emissions and enhanced fire safety. Its slim profile reduces space usage compared with conventional AWG26/32 patch leads while supporting PoE up to 87 W (4PPoE) for powered devices.

Advantages

The slim design requires approximately 40% less space than conventional patch cables, enabling higher port density in network cabinets and improved airflow. High-quality copper conductors and S/FTP shielding minimize signal loss and electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable 10 Gbit/s performance within the supported distance. The cable supports Power over Ethernet up to 87 watts, allowing operation of devices such as IP cameras and access points without separate power supplies. The TPE LSZH jacket combines flexibility with flame-retardant, halogen-free properties for safer use in confined or public spaces. Material savings reduce weight and environmental impact during transport and production.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and switches in data cabinets and server rooms where port density matters
• Connections between network devices and workstations requiring 10 Gbit/s or high-frequency transmission
• PoE installations powering IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones and other PoE devices
• Environments where low-smoke, halogen-free cabling is required for safety compliance

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 plugs at each end to the corresponding network ports on switches, patch panels or devices following the T568B wiring standard if required. Route the slim cable through cable management channels or between closely spaced ports to increase port density while maintaining minimal bend radius. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and secured to provide reliable electrical contact. For PoE devices, verify that the switch or midspan injector provides the required power class and that total power budget supports connected devices.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and whether 3 m is sufficient for your installation
• Indoor use: this cable is intended for in-cabinet and internal patching, not for direct burial or prolonged outdoor exposure
• PoE power needs: confirm device power requirements and switch/midspan capacity for up to 87 W support
• Compatibility with existing cabling and connector wiring standard (T568B/T568A)

Recommendations

Use this slim Cat6A S/FTP patch cable in dense patch panels and rack-mounted environments to save space and improve airflow; avoid sharp bends and protect from mechanical damage. For runs beyond 30 m or outdoor installations, select appropriate horizontal cabling or fiber optic solutions.
