Patch cord DATACOM S/FTP CAT6A 5m gray

DATACOM S/FTP CAT6A patch cord, 5 m, grey. This shielded cable is intended for fast Ethernet connections and network patching between devices such as PCs, wall outlets, patch panels and active network equipment. It supports 10GBase-T and lower protocols with a bandwidth of up to 500 MHz and a data rate of 10 Gbit/s.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction provides overall braid shielding plus individually foil-shielded pairs to minimise electromagnetic interference. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire, while 27 AWG conductors balance flexibility and signal integrity. The 5 m length offers straightforward reach for typical desktop and rack connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs to data outlets
• Patch panel to switch or other active network equipment
• High-bandwidth applications requiring 10GBase-T
• Office and home network cabling where reduced EMI is needed

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network device (PC, switch, patch panel or wall outlet) and the other into the corresponding port on the connected device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and routed without sharp bends to maintain signal performance. For rack installations, secure excess cable length to avoid strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines or strong EMI sources; maintain gentle bends (radius greater than the cable diameter) and replace the cable if connector damage or severe outer-jacket wear is observed.
