InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.6A halogen free 500MHz blue 15m

The InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.6A halogen free 500MHz blue 15m is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network links over a 15 metre run. Built to Cat.6A specifications with S/FTP (shielded foil around pairs plus overall braid) and pair-in-metal-foil (PiMF) construction, this cable supports frequencies up to 500 MHz and provides improved protection against electromagnetic interference. Both ends terminate in standard RJ-45 plugs and the halogen-free jacket reduces toxic gas release in case of fire.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP PiMF design offers enhanced immunity to crosstalk and external noise, which helps maintain stable data transmission at high rates. Rated for 500 MHz, it meets the bandwidth requirements of 10 Gigabit Ethernet over appropriate distances. The halogen-free outer sheath increases safety in environments where reduced smoke and corrosive gases are desired. The 15 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-desktop or patch-panel-to-switch connections while the blue color aids visual identification in structured cabling systems.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within single equipment rooms or data closets
• Patch-panel to switch connections in office and server rack environments
• High-interference areas where shielding reduces signal degradation
• Structured cabling installations requiring color-coded patching

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6A
• Shielding: S/FTP with PiMF (individually shielded pairs plus overall braid)
• Bandwidth: up to 500 MHz
• Length: 15 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Jacket material: halogen-free
• Color: blue

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device or patch panel port and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port on a switch, router or endpoint. Ensure connectors are fully seated and that cable bends respect the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to preserve performance. Use cable management and labeling to prevent strain on the connectors and to keep runs organized in racks or underfloor pathways.

Usage recommendations

For optimum performance at high data rates, avoid running the cable parallel and close to mains power cables or sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Use shielded connectors and grounded patch panels where possible to maintain the shield continuity of the S/FTP cable. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and replace any cable that shows kinks or crushed sections.
