InLine Cat.6A S/FTP TPE Flexible Patch Cable, Grey, 30m

The InLine Patch cable Cat.6A S/FTP TPE flexible grey 30m is a 30-meter network patch cable engineered for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling and patching scenarios. Constructed with S/FTP shielding and terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, this cable is designed to maintain signal integrity in environments with potential electromagnetic interference. The TPE outer jacket provides a balance of flexibility and durability, suitable for routing through cable trays, under desks, and in office or home network installations.

Advantages

This Cat.6A S/FTP cable offers improved protection against crosstalk and external interference thanks to its screened foiled twisted pair design, supporting higher bandwidths and more reliable connections compared with lower-category cables. The RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with standard networking equipment, while the flexible TPE jacket reduces stress on connectors and simplifies cable management. With a 30 m length and neutral grey colour, the cable is convenient for medium to long runs without additional couplers.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections between switches, patch panels and wall outlets
• Home and office LAN setups requiring Cat6A performance
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where S/FTP shielding is beneficial
• Cable routing through tight spaces where flexible jackets improve handling

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6A
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 30 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 on both ends
• Outer jacket material: TPE (flexible thermoplastic elastomer)
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to a network switch, router or patch panel and the other end to a workstation, access point or another network device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted into the ports until they click to establish a secure connection. For permanent installations, avoid sharp bends and maintain appropriate bend radius to preserve cable performance. When routing the cable near power lines or heavy electrical equipment, use the shielding and separation best practices to minimise interference.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight loops and excessive pulling force during installation. Maintain a minimum bend radius of four times the cable diameter, keep the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic noise where possible, and test the link after installation with appropriate network cable testers to verify continuity and performance consistent with Cat6A standards.
