Patch cable InLine Cat.6A S/FTP, TPE (LSZH) flexible, PoE capable, green, 1 m

The InLine Cat.6A S/FTP patch cable in green is a slim, flexible 1 m network cable designed for reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections and Power over Ethernet powering. It combines a screened foil and braided shielding (S/FTP) with AWG28 copper conductors and a TPE outer jacket (LSZH) to deliver Cat.6A transmission up to 500 MHz while maintaining a reduced bend radius and space-saving profile. The cable is intended for patch panels, switches and workstation connections where electromagnetic interference protection and high port density are required.

Advantages

The cable offers full Cat.6A performance with data rates up to 10 Gbit/s and supports PoE up to 87 watts (4PPoE). Its slim design requires approximately 40% less space than conventional AWG26 patch cables, increasing port density in racks and improving airflow for cooling. The S/FTP shielding and high-quality copper conductors reduce signal loss and protect against EMI. The TPE (LSZH) sheath is flame-retardant and halogen-free, providing safer use in confined or safety-critical environments while remaining flexible for tight installation paths. Material savings of about 25% reduce transportation volume and can lower environmental impact.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and high-density network cabinets where space saving is required
• Switch-to-workstation and switch-to-switch short link connections up to 1 m
• PoE-powered devices such as IP cameras, access points and VoIP phones
• Environments where EMI protection and reliable 10 Gbit/s performance are needed

When it may not be suitable

This 1 m patch cable is designed for short interconnects and is not suitable for long horizontal runs or backbone cabling beyond the Cat.6A guaranteed distances (performance validated up to 30 m for full Cat.6A characteristics). It is also not a replacement for permanently installed in-wall or outdoor-rated cables; the TPE (LSZH) jacket is intended for internal installations and rack use.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 m
• Cable category: Cat.6A, S/FTP (pair and overall shielding)
• Conductor material and type: pure copper, AWG28
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Frequency: up to 500 MHz
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, straight
• Outer jacket: TPE (LSZH) — low smoke, zero halogen
• Operating temperature range: -20 °C to +75 °C
• Outlet diameter: 4.5 mm
• PoE support: up to 87 W (4PPoE)
• Colour: green

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network switch or patch panel port and the other RJ-45 plug to the target device or workstation. Ensure proper seating of plugs and avoid sharp bends near the connectors to maintain performance. For PoE applications, verify that the switch or midspan injector supports 4PPoE and the device is rated for the delivered power. Use this cable for short patching runs inside racks, cabinets and between network equipment where a compact, shielded connection is required.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and whether a 1 m patch lead fits your cabling topology
• Whether the installation requires in-wall, outdoor or direct burial rated cable (this cable is for internal patching)
• Compatibility of PoE power budget and device requirements (supports up to 87 W, 4PPoE)
• Need for shielded cabling in your environment to mitigate EMI

Recommendations

For best performance, route the cable with gentle curves, avoid tight bends and excessive compression, and keep it separate from high-power electrical cabling. Use the slim Cat.6A S/FTP cable in high-density racks to increase port density and improve airflow while maintaining 10 Gbit/s links and PoE capability.
