Network patch cable Synergy21 RJ45 CAT6A S/FTP slimline round 500 MHz 500 m black (S218115)

The Synergy21 RJ45 CAT6A S/FTP slimline round cable on a 500 m reel is designed for structured cabling where consistent 10G performance and reduced cable diameter are required. This black, shielded patch cable supports frequencies up to 500 MHz and combines foil and braided overall shielding with individually shielded pairs to reduce alien crosstalk and preserve signal integrity in dense installations. The slimline round geometry simplifies cable management in conduits, patch panels and cable trays while maintaining the electrical characteristics expected of CAT6A installations.

Advantages

Shielded S/FTP construction provides improved protection against electromagnetic interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk compared with unshielded alternatives. The slimline round design reduces physical bulk and allows greater cable density in racks and cable ducts without sacrificing performance up to 500 MHz. A 500 m reel format is convenient for on-site termination, infrastructure runs and large installations, minimizing joints and ensuring continuous length for long-distance horizontal or backbone runs.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in office and data center horizontal and backbone runs
• High-density rack and cabinet cable management where reduced diameter is beneficial
• Structured cabling projects requiring shielded cabling to mitigate EMI and maintain signal quality
• Premises wiring installations that demand continuous reels for large runs and fewer splices

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6A
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil with individually shielded twisted pairs)
• Conductor type: stranded or solid copper conductor suitable for patching and permanent link applications
• Frequency rating: up to 500 MHz
• Design: slimline round jacket for reduced outer diameter
• Length: 500 m reel
• Color: black
• Intended performance: supports 10G Ethernet and structured cabling standards for CAT6A

How to use

Install the cable from the reel, unrolling the required length and avoiding twisting or sharp bends that could deform the slimline round profile. Terminate with RJ45 connectors or field termination jacks that are compatible with CAT6A S/FTP cable and follow recommended pair untwisting limits when punching or crimping. Route the cable through conduits, cable trays or behind patch panels, securing at regular intervals to prevent strain. When making long horizontal or backbone runs, maintain proper separation from power cabling and follow local installation codes for grounding and bonding of shielded cabling.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible shielded connectors and ensure the cable shield is properly grounded at patch panels or outlet enclosures to realize the full benefit of S/FTP protection. For high-density installations, plan routing to exploit the slimline round profile while observing minimum bend radius and maximum pulling tension to prevent mechanical damage.
