Slim patch cord Ethernet cable Eigenbrand CAT 6A F-FTP, 5 m, blue, RJ-45, 10 Gbps

Slim patch cord Ethernet cable Eigenbrand CAT 6A F-FTP, 5 m, blue, RJ-45, 10 Gbps is a shielded slim Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed LAN environments. The cable follows Cat6A performance with F/FTP (foil overall + foil per pair) shielding and is fitted with RJ-45 plugs on both ends with bronze/gold-plated contacts. With a 5 m length and a slim, flexible jacket, the cable is suitable where space-saving routing and reliable 10 000 Mbit/s connections are required for data centers, office networks and home installations.

Advantages

The slim and flexible design allows easy installation in confined spaces and high-density patch panels while maintaining Cat6A performance up to 500 MHz and transmission speeds up to 10 Gbit/s. F/FTP shielding reduces near-end crosstalk and external interference, and the molded anti-kink sleeve with strain relief and locking lever protection increases connector durability. The blue LSZH jacket offers low smoke zero halogen properties and standardized wiring compatibility for structured cabling.

Suitable for

• High-density wiring in data centers and server rooms
• Office structured cabling and patch panels where space is limited
• Home offices and workstations requiring 10 Gbit/s connectivity
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices in network deployments

How to use

Route the Eigenbrand CAT 6A slim patch cord between RJ-45 ports on network devices, patch panels or switches, avoiding sharp bends and mechanical strain. Ensure the locking clip fully engages in the socket and that the molded strain relief is seated to prevent kinking. For best performance, keep the cable separate from strong electromagnetic sources and maintain bend radius recommendations during installation.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable in structured cabling environments that require Cat6A performance and space-saving routing. When installing in high-density racks, lay cables neatly in trunking or cable managers to preserve the slim cable’s bending radius and shielding integrity. The cable is suitable for PoE/PoE+ applications but verify power and thermal constraints of connected devices in dense bundles.
