Networking Cable Tecline Cat6 S/FTP 5m

The Tecline Cat6 S/FTP 5m networking cable is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for reliable high-speed data transfer over short to medium distances. With S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends, this 5-meter grey cable is intended to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity in home and office environments. It supports applications that require consistent bandwidth and low packet loss, including wired internet connections, network equipment linking, and data transfer between devices.

Advantages

S/FTP construction provides individual foil shielding for each twisted pair plus an overall braided shield, which improves protection against crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded variants. The Cat6 specification enables higher throughput and better performance for gigabit and multi-gigabit networks when paired with compatible hardware. The 5 m length offers flexibility for typical desk-to-router or device-to-switch connections while keeping cable runs tidy and manageable.

Suitable for

• Connecting a PC, laptop or workstation to a router or switch
• Wiring networked printers, NAS devices or media players
• Short to medium-length Ethernet runs in homes and small offices
• High-bandwidth applications such as HD streaming, online gaming, and large file transfers

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid plus individual pair foil)
• Length: 5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 male on both ends
• Color: Grey
• Conductor type: Solid or stranded copper conductors (as standard for Cat6 installations)
• Data rates: Suitable for gigabit Ethernet and upward when used with compatible equipment

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices until they click into place. Ensure connectors are fully seated on both ends before testing the connection. For best performance avoid tightly coiling the cable, kinking, or running it parallel and close to power lines or sources of strong electromagnetic interference. If routing through walls or conduits, confirm the cable type and shielding match installation requirements and local building codes.

Usage recommendations

Use the Tecline Cat6 S/FTP 5m cable for direct device-to-device or device-to-network connections where improved shielding is beneficial. Pair with Cat6 or higher-rated network hardware and quality patch panels to maintain the cable's performance. Periodically inspect connectors for damage and replace the cable if the shielding or jacket shows wear.
