InLine Patch Cable, Cat.6A, S/FTP, TPE flexible, black, 0.5m

This InLine Patch cable Cat.6A S/FTP TPE flexible black 0.5m is a short patch lead designed for high-performance Ethernet connections. It complies with Cat.6A standards and supports 10GBase-T cabling technology, enabling data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s. The cable uses S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors with gold plating to maintain signal integrity and reduce interference. The outer jacket is made of flexible TPE material in black, providing durability and ease of routing in confined or frequently changed setups.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding provides improved protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk compared with unshielded alternatives, supporting stable high-speed transmission. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable contact and corrosion resistance for consistent performance. The TPE flexible jacket offers good mechanical resilience and makes the 0.5 m cable simple to bend and position behind equipment or in patch panels. Short length reduces clutter and signal degradation in short-distance interconnections.

Suitable for

• Connecting network devices in racks, patch panels and small office setups
• Short-distance connections between switches, routers and servers
• Environments requiring shielded cabling to minimise interference
• Temporary or permanent installations where a compact, flexible patch lead is needed

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Cabling technology: 10GBase-T (Cat.6A)
• Shielding: S/FTP
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold plating
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Outer material: flexible TPE
• Colour: black

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports of your devices until the connector latch clicks into place. Use the 0.5 m cable for short links where minimal slack is desirable; avoid sharp bends or kinks to preserve the shielding and conductor integrity. When disconnecting, press the latch on the connector to release it and pull the plug straight out to prevent damage to the plug or port.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat.6A S/FTP patch cable in shielded or grounded network environments to take full advantage of the shielding. Keep bend radius gentle and avoid routing the cable parallel to high-power electrical lines. Verify connectors are fully seated and inspect periodically for wear if used in high-traffic areas.
