Renkforce RF-7116972 CAT 6a S/FTP Patch Cable, RJ45, 0.25 m, Grey (RAL 7035)

This CAT 6a patch cable delivers 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance in a compact 0.25 m length, ideal for high-density patching and short device connections. Its S/FTP shielding with individually foiled pairs and overall braid ensures superior immunity to EMI and crosstalk, maintaining signal integrity even in noisy environments.

Advantages

The gold-plated RJ45 connectors resist corrosion and ensure reliable contact over thousands of mating cycles. Stranded 26 AWG copper conductors provide flexibility for tight bends without performance loss, while the grey PVC jacket offers durability and easy identification in structured cabling.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers, switches, and patch panels in data centres
• High-speed workstation links requiring 10GBASE-T
• Short runs in network cabinets and wall outlets
• PoE applications up to 100W (PoE++) when used with compatible equipment

Key specifications

• Category: CAT 6a (500 MHz bandwidth)
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF) – pairs in foil, overall braid
• Length: 0.25 m
• Connectors: RJ45 male to RJ45 male, gold-plated contacts
• Conductor: Stranded copper, 26 AWG

Recommendations

For best performance, pair with CAT 6a shielded patch panels and keystone jacks. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius (typically 4x cable diameter) to preserve shielding effectiveness.
