Networking Cable Tecline 5m Cat6 S/FTP Violet

The Tecline 5m Cat6 S/FTP networking cable in violet provides a shielded Ethernet connection for up to 5 meters between devices. Constructed to Cat6 specifications with S/FTP shielding, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk compared with unshielded alternatives. Both ends are fitted with standard RJ‑45 plugs for compatibility with routers, switches, network cards and other Ethernet-capable equipment. The violet jacket offers a distinctive appearance for easier cable identification in multi-cable installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding (overall braid plus individually shielded pairs) provides improved protection against external noise sources and minimizes pair-to-pair crosstalk, supporting more reliable data transmission in environments with potential interference. The cable conforms to Cat6 performance parameters to support higher data rates and bandwidth compared with older categories. Pre-terminated RJ‑45 connectors ensure plug-and-play installation without the need for on-site crimping. A 5 meter length covers typical distances between desks, network equipment and wall sockets while the colored jacket simplifies cable management.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, printers or VoIP phones to a router or switch within small offices or home networks
• Wiring between network switches and patch panels where short runs require shielded cabling
• Temporary workstations, meeting rooms or AV setups requiring visible and easily traceable cabling

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually shielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Conductor: twisted pair copper conductors
• Color: violet jacket

How to use

Plug one RJ‑45 connector into the Ethernet port of your router, switch or wall jack and the other connector into the network device you want to connect. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a reliable electrical and mechanical connection. For shielded installations, connect the cable to equipment or patch panels that provide a grounding path to make use of the S/FTP shielding. Avoid tight bending radii and sharp kinks when routing the cable to maintain signal integrity over the run.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use the cable for runs within the specified 5 m length and pair it with compatible Cat6 or higher-rated components. When installing in environments with significant electrical noise or where grounded shielded systems are used, ensure proper grounding at patch panels or device chassis to benefit from the S/FTP shielding. Store spare lengths in gentle coils and avoid compressing the cable under heavy objects.
