Network Cable Synergy 21 S217905 RJ45 CAT6A 500MHz 1m Grey

The Synergy 21 S217905 RJ45 CAT6A 500MHz 1m Grey patch cable is built for high-speed wired networks where consistent throughput and reduced interference are required. This slimline round cable combines CAT6A specification and 500 MHz bandwidth to support multi-gigabit Ethernet connections up to 10 Gbps over a short reach. The 1 meter length and grey jacket make it suitable for tidy, low-profile cabling in racks, desktop setups, and confined spaces.

Advantages

The cable features S/FTP shielding to minimize alien crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity in crowded cable environments. Its slim, flexible round design simplifies routing through cable management systems and behind equipment, while factory-terminated RJ45 connectors ensure reliable plug-and-play connectivity. The CAT6A specification and 500 MHz rating provide headroom for bandwidth-intensive applications and future-proof local network segments.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within data centres, server racks, or network closets
• Workspace connections between switches, patch panels and wall outlets
• Home lab or small office networks requiring low-interference cabling
• Environments with multiple adjacent cables where shielding reduces crosstalk

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6A
• Bandwidth: 500 MHz
• Maximum supported speed: up to 10 Gbps (over appropriate channel length)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 1 m
• Connector type: RJ45, 8P8C
• Jacket colour: Grey
• Conductor: stranded copper (flexible patch cable)
• Outer design: slim, round profile

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plug into the network device or patch panel port until it clicks to establish a secure connection. Use the 1 m length to create short links between adjacent devices, switches and patch panels, avoiding excessive bending radii near the connector. When routing the cable, follow existing cable management paths and secure with suitable cable ties or Velcro straps to prevent strain on the connectors. For best performance, maintain separation from high-voltage power lines and avoid tight kinks that could compromise the shielding or conductor integrity.

Usage recommendations

For guaranteed 10 Gbps performance, use this CAT6A cable within recommended channel lengths and combine it with CAT6A-compliant patch panels and switches. When deploying multiple shielded cables, ensure proper grounding of equipment and patch panels to take full advantage of the S/FTP shielding.
