Networking Cable Tecline 5m Cat6 S/FTP Red

The Tecline 5m Cat6 S/FTP Red networking cable is a 5‑meter Category 6 Ethernet cable designed for stable, high‑speed wired connections. It uses S/FTP shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and is terminated with RJ‑45 connectors on both ends for plug‑and‑play compatibility with switches, routers, network cards and other Ethernet devices. The red jacket provides clear visual identification in crowded cable environments while preserving flexibility for routing and installation.

Advantages

S/FTP construction combines an overall foil screen with individually shielded pairs to improve signal integrity in environments with multiple nearby cables or electronic equipment. The Cat6 specification supports higher data rates and improved performance compared with lower category cables, enabling reliable transmission for common wired networking tasks. Factory‑terminated RJ‑45 plugs ensure consistent contact quality and simplify setup without the need for on‑site crimping or termination.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, servers or network printers to a router or switch
• Wired connections for home or small office networks requiring reduced interference
• Short runs between patch panels, network switches and wall outlets in structured cabling
• Temporary setups at events or workspaces where colour‑coded identification is useful

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding type: S/FTP (overall foil + individually foil‑shielded pairs)
• Length: 5 m
• Connector type: RJ‑45 on both ends
• Conductor: twisted pair copper cores
• Jacket colour: red
• Recommended frequency range: up to 250 MHz
• Suitable for 1 Gbps Ethernet and general Cat6 applications

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 end to the Ethernet port of your device and the other end to the port on your router, switch or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. For best performance, place the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as large transformers or unshielded power cables.

Usage recommendations

For structured installations, label both ends and maintain bend radii recommended for twisted‑pair cables. Use the red colour to distinguish this run from others in racks or cable trays. Regularly inspect connectors for damage and replace the cable if shielding or the jacket is compromised to maintain network reliability.
