InLine patchkabel, Cat.6A, S/FTP, TPE fleksibel, sort, 5 m

The InLine Patch cable Cat.6A S/FTP TPE flexible black 5m is a shielded Ethernet cable intended for high-speed network connections. With Cat.6A performance it supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is constructed with S/FTP shielding to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. The 5 m length and flexible TPE jacket facilitate routing in patch panels, racks and office or home installations while RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure broad compatibility with switches, routers, network cards and patch panels.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding combines an overall braid with individually foiled pairs to provide effective protection against near-end crosstalk and outside noise sources. The Cat.6A rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at typical horizontal distances, and the TPE outer jacket offers enhanced flexibility compared with stiffer PVC alternatives, making the cable easier to bend and manage in tight spaces. Standard RJ-45 terminations provide plug-and-play connectivity with common networking equipment.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, servers and workstations
• Patch panel to switch connections in data cabinets and server rooms
• High-demand home networks for streaming, gaming and NAS access
• Office network installations requiring reduced interference and tidy cable routing

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually foiled pairs)
• Material: flexible TPE outer jacket
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Length: 5 m
• Maximum data rate: 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbps)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end of the cable to the network device (switch, router, network adapter) and the other end to the target device or patch panel. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and direct mechanical stress; the flexible TPE jacket allows tighter routing but maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radii for best performance. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and verify link status on connected equipment. For installations in racks or alongside power cabling, keep shielded cable runs separated from sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible.

Recommendations

For stable 10 Gbps performance, use this Cat.6A S/FTP cable for horizontal runs up to the recommended distances and avoid excessive bending or crushing. When deploying multiple shielded cables, ensure proper grounding of network equipment and patch panels to maximise shielding effectiveness.
