Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP6A-1 Patchcord S/FTP Cat6a 1m Gray

The C-TECH CB-PP6A-1 Patchcord S/FTP Cat6a 1m Gray is a shielded network cable engineered to meet Cat6a performance requirements. Designed for short-distance connections, this 1-meter patchcord uses S/FTP shielding to reduce crosstalk and external interference, and a standardized RJ45 termination for compatibility with switches, patch panels, routers and network outlets. The gray outer jacket provides a neutral aesthetic suitable for residential and professional installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded twisted pairs to provide enhanced protection against electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference. As a Cat6a cable, it supports higher bandwidth and improved signal integrity compared with lower-category patchcords. The 1 m length limits signal attenuation in short-link scenarios and simplifies cable management behind desks and in patch bays. Durable jacket material and molded connectors reduce mechanical wear and help maintain reliable connections over time.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers within racks or workstations
• Short horizontal runs between patch panels and network equipment
• Home networks, small office setups and multimedia streaming
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a performance class
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil shield + individually foil‑shielded pairs)
• Length: 1 meter
• Conductor: twisted pair copper conductors
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated on both ends
• Jacket color: gray
• Typical use: patchcord for short link connections

How to use

Plug each RJ45 connector into the corresponding network ports on devices such as switches, patch panels, routers or network wall sockets. Ensure connectors are fully seated to engage the locking clip and confirm link/activity LEDs on connected equipment indicate proper connection. For best performance, avoid tight bends at the cable ends and maintain recommended bend radius for twisted‑pair cables. Use cable management accessories to route the patchcord without excessive tension or crushing.

Usage recommendations

For optimal signal quality, keep the patchcord away from high-voltage power lines and large sources of electromagnetic noise. Use this 1 m Cat6a S/FTP patchcord for short interconnects; for longer runs consider using in-wall or bulk cable rated for permanent link installations. Regularly inspect connectors for damage and replace the patchcord if shielding or jacket integrity is compromised.
