Network patch cable Synergy21 S218106 RJ45 CAT6A 500MHz S/FTP slimline round grey

Shielded Synergy21 S218106 RJ45 CAT6A patch cable designed for high‑speed Ethernet and structured cabling installations. The cable supports frequencies up to 500 MHz and uses S/FTP construction — each twisted pair is wrapped in foil with an overall braided shield — to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. Its slimline round grey jacket minimizes bulk in dense cable runs while maintaining the mechanical flexibility required for data centers, office networks and patch panels.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding provides improved protection against alien crosstalk and external noise compared with unshielded alternatives, enhancing signal integrity for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high‑bandwidth applications. The CAT6A rating and 500 MHz bandwidth ensure reliable performance for demanding data rates. The slimline round profile reduces space consumption in cable management systems and helps maintain airflow in rack environments. The grey jacket offers a neutral colour for easy visual organisation in multi‑cable installations.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks and high‑speed LAN links
• Data centres, server rooms and rack patching
• Structured cabling in offices and commercial buildings
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference (industrial or near power equipment)
• High‑density cable management and patch panels where space saving is important

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6A
• Connector type: RJ45
• Shielding: S/FTP (foil per pair + overall braid)
• Bandwidth: up to 500 MHz
• Design: slimline round jacket, grey colour
• Typical use: Ethernet, data and voice transmission

How to use

Plug the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding ports on network devices, switches or patch panels ensuring secure seating. Route the slimline cable through trays or cable organisers following standard cable management practices to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension. For shielded cabling, ensure proper grounding at patch panels or termination points according to installation standards to maintain shielding effectiveness. Test the installed link with appropriate network testers to verify continuity, pair mapping and performance up to CAT6A/500 MHz.

Usage recommendations

Use this S/FTP CAT6A cable in installations where reduced interference and high bandwidth are required. Maintain bend radius guidelines, avoid running the cable parallel to high‑voltage power lines, and terminate shields correctly to ground for optimal performance.
