Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP6A-5 Patchcord Cat6a RJ45 5m Gray

The C-TECH CB-PP6A-5 Patchcord Cat6a RJ45 5m Gray is a shielded S/FTP network cable engineered for high-speed wired connections. With Cat6a performance and a 5-meter length, this patch cord supports up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper in suitable environments and provides consistent signal integrity for local area networks, workstations, switches and patch panels. The gray jacket and compact RJ45 connectors allow discreet and reliable integration into home or office network installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, improving connection stability. Cat6a specification ensures higher bandwidth and better headroom compared to lower categories, while the molded RJ45 connectors deliver secure mating and strain relief. The 5 m length offers flexibility for desk-to-switch runs without excessive cable slack, and the standardized connector termination simplifies installation and replacement.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktops, laptops or VoIP phones to switches or patch panels
• Small office and home office (SOHO) wired network setups
• Linking network devices where 1 Gbit/s to 10 Gbit/s performance is required
• Temporary cabling for meetings, events or relocations

• Connector type: RJ45 male to RJ45 male, molded boots
• Length: 5 meters
• Color: Gray
• Performance: Suitable for Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet within standards
• Jacket: flexible PVC for indoor installations

How to use

Route the C-TECH Cat6a patchcord between network equipment ports such as switches, routers, patch panels or endpoint devices, ensuring connectors are fully inserted until they click. Avoid tight bends and compression near the connector area to maintain shielding and cable integrity. For best performance, keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines. If routing through cable management channels, respect minimum bend radius and secure the cable with appropriate fasteners without crushing the jacket.

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbit/s performance, use the patch cord within typical horizontal channel lengths and pair it with compatible Cat6a-rated equipment and properly terminated infrastructure. Inspect connectors for damage before use and replace the patchcord if the jacket or shielding shows visible wear.
