Patch cable Synergy21 CAT6A S/FTP slimline round 500 MHz, RJ45, 500 m, white (S218126)

Synergy21 CAT6A S/FTP slimline round patch cable delivers a balanced combination of bandwidth, shielding and space-saving design for structured cabling and high-speed Ethernet links. With a 500 MHz frequency range and support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, this slim round cable uses foil-over-twin (S/FTP) shielding to reduce alien and near-end crosstalk while maintaining stable signal performance. The white jacket and compact diameter make it suitable for visible installations and dense cable routes in cabinets and conduits.

Advantages

The screened foil-over-twine shielding (S/FTP) provides robust protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity in crowded cable environments. The slimline round construction reduces bulk, allowing more cables to be routed in the same space and simplifying cable management. With RJ45 terminations and a 500 MHz specification, the cable supports 10GBASE-T performance and reliable data throughput for demanding network applications.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centers and server rooms
• Structured building cabling where reduced cable diameter is required
• Office LANs, wall outlets and patch panels with visible white cabling
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference requiring screened cabling

How to use

Unwind the required length from the drum and route the cable through ducts, trays or conduits to the network equipment. Avoid tight bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to preserve performance. Terminate the cable with RJ45 plugs or connect to compatible keystone jacks and patch panels already prepared for shielded cabling; ensure correct grounding of the cable shield at patch panels or chassis to maintain the S/FTP effectiveness. Test each run with appropriate CAT6A certification testers to verify insertion loss, NEXT, and return loss meet installation requirements.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable bundles organized and avoid running parallel to high-voltage lines. Ensure shield continuity by connecting shields to earth at a single point in the rack or distribution frame. Use appropriate cable management accessories to maintain bend radius and minimize mechanical stress. Verify installation with a CAT6A-certified tester after termination.
