Network patch cable Synergy21 RJ45 CAT6A S/FTP slimline round 500 MHz 500 m white (S218121)

Synergy21 RJ45 CAT6A S/FTP slimline round cable on a 500 m reel is designed for high-speed Ethernet installations requiring up to 500 MHz bandwidth. This cable uses individually shielded pairs with an overall shield to reduce alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, while the slimline round jacket offers a smaller diameter for easier routing in trays, conduits and crowded cabinets. The product is suitable for structured cabling in offices, data centers and other environments where reliable 10 Gigabit performance and space-saving cable runs are important.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding topology minimizes pair-to-pair crosstalk and provides enhanced protection against external electromagnetic disturbances, improving signal integrity for high-bandwidth transmissions. The CAT6A specification supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at distances up to 100 m and the 500 MHz rating ensures headroom for demanding applications. The slimline round design reduces cable cross-section compared with standard CAT6A cables, facilitating higher cable density in racks and cable management systems and simplifying installation in tight paths.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in enterprise LANs and data centers
• Structured cabling backbones and horizontal runs
• High-density rack and patch panel installations
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference
• Installations where compact cable diameter and easy routing matter

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6A
• Shielding: S/FTP (individually shielded pairs with overall shield)
• Bandwidth: up to 500 MHz
• Conductor type: copper (solid conductors for permanent link use)
• Geometry: slimline round jacket for reduced diameter
• Reel length: 500 m
• Typical application: 10 Gigabit Ethernet, PoE capable depending on connected hardware

How to use

Install the cable from the 500 m reel following standard structured cabling practices: route the cable through trays, conduits or cable ducts while avoiding sharp bends and excessive pulling tension. Terminate the cable using Cat6A-compatible RJ45 connectors or keystone jacks and follow manufacturer guidelines for shield termination to maintain the effectiveness of the S/FTP design. Test each permanent link with an appropriate cable tester to verify performance up to 500 MHz and ensure compliance with required channel specifications.

Usage recommendations

For best results, maintain bend radii according to industry recommendations, properly ground or bond cable shields at the patch panel or termination point, and separate power and high-interference sources when planning cable routes. Use this slimline CAT6A cable in scenarios where high data rates and space-efficient cable management are priorities.
