Patch Cable InLine Cat.6A S/FTP TPE (LSZH) PoE, flexible, yellow, 15 m

The InLine Cat.6A S/FTP TPE (LSZH) PoE patch cable in yellow, 15 m, is a slim, shielded network cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in offices, data centers and server rooms. Its S/FTP construction (foil on pairs and braided overall shield) combined with high-quality copper conductors and AWG28 wiring delivers Cat.6A performance up to 500 MHz while keeping a reduced diameter for higher port density. The flexible TPE (LSZH) jacket is halogen-free and flame-retardant, and the cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 87 W (4PPoE).

Advantages

The slim design requires approximately 40% less space than conventional AWG26 patch cables, enabling denser cabling in network cabinets and improved airflow. Full Cat.6A transmission quality is preserved over practical installation lengths, while the S/FTP shielding protects against electromagnetic interference. TPE (LSZH) material provides flexibility for tight routing and reduced smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire. The cable also reduces material usage by about 25%, which lowers transport weight and supports more economical handling.

Suitable for

• High-density rack and patch panel installations where space saving is required
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within offices and data centers up to recommended distances
• PoE applications such as IP cameras, wireless access points and VoIP phones using up to 87 W (4PPoE)
• Workspace and horizontal cabling between switches and endpoints

When it may not be suitable

This slim Cat.6A cable is not intended for outdoor burial or direct exposure to weather; it is designed for indoor installations. For environments requiring additional mechanical protection or conduit-rated cables, a more rugged or armored cable type should be chosen. While optimized for up to 30 m with full performance, extremely long runs beyond standard horizontal cabling distances may require active network equipment or different cable planning.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 15 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 (straight male)
• Cabling technology: 10GBase-T (Cat.6A, S/FTP)
• Shielding: Pair foil + braided overall shield (S/FTP)
• Conductor: pure copper, AWG28
• Transmission bandwidth: up to 500 MHz, suitable for 10 Gbit/s
• PoE support: up to 87 W (4PPoE)
• Jacket material: TPE (LSZH) — halogen-free, flame-retardant
• Operating temperature range: -20 to +75 °C
• Outer diameter (approx.): 4.5 mm

How to use

Install the cable by plugging RJ-45 connectors into compatible ports on switches, patch panels or devices following the T568B wiring orientation. Route the cable through racks, cable managers or trays, using the slim profile to maximize port density and improve airflow. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and avoid sharp bends below the manufacturer's recommended bend radius; secure runs to prevent strain on connectors. The cable supports plug-and-play PoE devices without additional power adaptors when connected to a PoE-capable switch or injector.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended installation length and whether runs will stay within recommended performance distances
• Indoor use only — not suitable for direct outdoor exposure or burial
• Requirement for PoE power budgets (supports up to 87 W 4PPoE)
• Compatibility with existing patch panels and RJ-45 ports
• Need for additional mechanical protection in high-traffic or harsh environments

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this InLine Cat.6A S/FTP cable in indoor, rack-based or workspace installations with proper cable management. Keep cable lengths within recommended ranges, avoid tight bends and secure connections to preserve Cat.6A performance and reliable PoE delivery.
