Networking Cable Flexline FL31-59010 RJ-45 Cat6a 0.5m Grey

The Flexline FL31-59010 RJ-45 Cat6a 0.5m Grey networking cable is a short patch cable designed for reliable, high-speed wired connections. Built to the Cat6a specification, it supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and uses RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The U/FTP (STP) shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, while gold-plated contacts improve contact quality and resist corrosion. The cable's 0.5 m length and neutral grey color make it suitable for compact setups, patch panels, switches, routers and workstation connections.

Advantages

The U/FTP shielding provides enhanced protection against external interference, ensuring stable data transmission in environments with multiple cables or nearby electrical equipment. Gold-plated contacts increase longevity and maintain low contact resistance. Compliance with Cat6a performance parameters allows the cable to handle high bandwidth and support applications that require 10 Gbps-class throughput. The short 0.5 m length reduces signal loss and clutter in patching scenarios.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in server racks
• Linking network equipment in data cabinets and comms closets
• Short point-to-point connections between desktop devices and wall outlets
• High-speed LAN connections for workstations, NAS or small network appliances

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6a
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Shielding: U/FTP (shielded twisted pair with overall foil)
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 0.5 m
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the cable for short patching runs between equipment such as switches, patch panels, routers and desktop devices. Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connector; maintain a gentle bend radius to preserve internal pair geometry and shielding. For fixed installations, route the cable alongside other network cables or through cable management trays to minimize mechanical stress.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs as short as necessary and avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-power electrical lines. When used in high-density rack environments, label both ends to simplify maintenance. Replace the cable if connectors become loose or if visible damage occurs to the jacket or shielding.
