Network Cable Synergy 21 S217976 RJ45 CAT6A 500MHz 1m Red

The Synergy 21 S217976 RJ45 CAT6A 500MHz 1m Red patch cable is designed for high-speed wired networks where space and signal integrity matter. This slimline, round Ethernet cable supports frequencies up to 500 MHz and uses RJ45 connectors to provide a straightforward connection between switches, routers, patch panels and endpoints. The S/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, helping maintain consistent throughput in dense or electrically noisy environments. Its 1 meter length and red jacket make it suitable for short runs and easy visual identification in structured cabling setups.

Advantages

The CAT6A specification combined with 500 MHz performance delivers improved headroom for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and reduces alien crosstalk compared with lower category cables. The S/FTP shielding (overall foil plus individually shielded pairs) provides enhanced protection against external interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk. A slimline round design enhances flexibility and routing in tight spaces while maintaining mechanical stability. The red outer jacket aids cable management by allowing quick visual differentiation in patch panels or server cabinets.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections over short distances in server rooms and data centers
• Patching between network switches, routers and wall outlets in office environments
• High-density cabinets and racks where flexible, space-saving cabling is required
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6A (augmented Category 6) supporting up to 500 MHz bandwidth
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 1 meter
• Outer jacket color: red
• Cable geometry: slimline round design for improved flexibility
• Intended use: patch cable for Ethernet networks

How to use

Insert RJ45 connectors into the corresponding ports of your network devices, ensuring a secure click indicates proper seating. Use the 1 m length for short connections between patch panels, switches, routers, or wall sockets; avoid excessive bending beyond the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius to preserve signal integrity. Ensure both ends are mated with compatible RJ45 ports and labelled if required for identification. For installations in shielded environments, make sure equipment chassis and patch panels provide appropriate grounding to realize the benefits of S/FTP shielding.

Usage recommendations

Use this CAT6A S/FTP cable for short, high-performance links where interference mitigation is important. Avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines for extended distances and maintain gentle bends during routing. For rack deployments, use color coding to simplify identification and document each patch for maintenance.
