Networking Cable Tecline S/FTP Cat6 0.25m

The Tecline S/FTP Cat6 0.25m networking cable is a short patch cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections where space is limited. With S/FTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair) construction and RJ-45 connectors on each end, this 0.25 metre grey cable supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds and reduces electromagnetic interference for stable data transmission in home, office, or rack-mounted equipment setups.

Advantages

Shielded S/FTP construction provides improved protection against crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables. The compact 0.25 m length minimises excess cabling and clutter, making it suitable for connections between closely positioned devices. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure consistent contact resistance and corrosion resistance for long-term signal integrity. The grey outer jacket offers discreet visual integration with common networking equipment and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, patch panels, and routers in dense rack or cabinet environments
• Short links between network interface cards and nearby access points or devices
• Home or small office setups where a short, shielded patch cable is required
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference from power supplies or other equipment

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individual foil around pairs)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Color: Grey
• Suitable bandwidth: up to 250 MHz (Cat6 specification)

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices until the locking tab clicks into place. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and maintain the short run without undue tension on the cable. Use the cable for patching within racks, between adjacent devices, or for short desktop connections where a compact, shielded link is preferred. When disconnecting, press the connector tab and pull straight to avoid damaging the plug.

Usage recommendations

For best shielding performance, ensure both connected devices or patch panels provide proper grounding for shielded cables. Avoid routing the cable alongside high-voltage power lines; keep the run as short and direct as possible to maintain signal quality.
