Network Cable Synergy 21 S217901 RJ45 CAT6A 500MHz 1m Grey

The Synergy 21 S217901 RJ45 CAT6A 500MHz patch cable in grey is a 1 metre network cable designed for high-speed data transmission in home and office environments. Featuring CAT6A performance and a 500 MHz bandwidth, the cable supports multi-gigabit links up to 10 Gbps. Its slimline round jacket and flexible construction simplify routing in patch panels, cable management trays and between devices while the S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference for stable signal integrity.

Advantages

The cable delivers CAT6A-rated performance with support for 10 Gbps networking and a 500 MHz frequency range, offering future-proof capacity for bandwidth-intensive applications. The slim round design improves flexibility and ease of installation in confined spaces. S/FTP shielding around each pair and overall foil shielding limits crosstalk and external interference, helping maintain consistent data throughput. A standard RJ45 connector provides compatibility with common switches, routers and network ports.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in small offices and home networks
• Connections between switches, patch panels and wall outlets
• High-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, AV distribution and data backups
• Environments requiring reduced EMI and stable signal performance

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6A (Class EA)
• Bandwidth: 500 MHz
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10 Gbps
• Length: 1 metre
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foil twisted pairs with overall shield)
• Conductor type: stranded copper for flexibility
• Connector: RJ45 on both ends
• Jacket: slim round grey outer sheath

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to a compatible network device such as a switch, router or network interface and the other end to the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a reliable physical connection. Route the cable without sharp bends or excessive tension to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. For permanent installations, verify link speed in your network equipment and test the connection using network diagnostics or a cable tester if required.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within its intended length and avoid routing it alongside high-voltage power lines. In environments with significant electromagnetic interference, ensure both ends are properly connected to shielded equipment or grounding points where applicable. Store and handle the cable to prevent kinks and damage to the jacket or connectors.
