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

This InLine Patch Cable Cat.6A S/FTP TPE Flexible Black 30m is a 30-metre network patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. The cable uses Cat6A specification with S/FTP shielding to reduce alien crosstalk and external interference, while flexible TPE jacket material improves handling and routing in racks, cable trays and office environments. Both ends feature gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for reliable contact and consistent data transmission. The black finish offers a discreet appearance suitable for professional installations and visible cable runs.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction combines an overall foil shield with individually braided shielding for each twisted pair, delivering improved protection against electromagnetic interference and better performance at higher frequencies. Flexible TPE jacket material provides bend resistance and easier installation in confined spaces compared with stiffer jackets. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs reduce oxidation and provide stable contact resistance. The 30 m length covers longer runs without additional couplers, reducing potential signal loss points.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbone and server connections
• Structured cabling in offices, data centres and server rooms
• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels over medium-length runs
• High-density rack installations where flexible cable routing is required

Key specifications

How to use

Route the cable along the intended path, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension. Terminate each end into RJ-45 ports on network devices such as switches, routers or patch panels until the connector latches engage. For best performance, maintain proper separation from power lines and high-interference equipment, and avoid tight bundling that can increase heat and crosstalk. If the run requires passing through tight cable glands or conduit, ensure the bend radius remains within recommended limits for Cat6A cables.

Recommendations

For optimal long-term performance, secure the cable with appropriate cable management accessories, avoid repeating sharp bends, and inspect connectors for debris before insertion. Use this Cat6A S/FTP cable for critical links where reduced electromagnetic interference and higher bandwidth capability are required.
