Renkforce RF-7116932 Cat6a U/FTP Slim Network Patch Cable, 5m, Grey

This ultra-thin Cat6a network patch cable delivers 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance over a 5-metre run, making it ideal for high-density installations where space is at a premium. Its slim design and grey PVC jacket blend unobtrusively into any environment, while the U/FTP shielding ensures reliable, interference-free data transmission up to 500 MHz.

Advantages

The cable's ultra-thin profile reduces clutter and improves airflow in server racks and patch panels. U/FTP shielding (foiled twisted pairs) provides excellent protection against alien crosstalk, ensuring stable 10GBASE-T connectivity. The robust RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts guarantee a secure, corrosion-resistant connection. This cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE and PoE+), allowing you to power devices like IP cameras and wireless access points without a separate power supply.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, laptops, and network-attached storage to 10G switches
• High-density patch panel and server rack cabling
• Powering PoE devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and access points
• Home and office networks requiring high-speed, reliable Ethernet links
