Networking Cable Tecline 0.5m Cat6a S/FTP

The Tecline 0.5m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable is a short, high-performance patch cable designed for reliable wired connections between network devices. With a length of 0.5 meters and RJ-45 connectors on both ends, this Cat6a cable supports high-speed data transmission and includes S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The cable is finished in blue for clear identification within structured cabling setups.

Advantages

The S/FTP (shielded foil over twisted pairs with overall braid) construction provides improved protection against external interference compared with unshielded alternatives, helping to maintain signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. Cat6a performance enables support for higher bandwidths and better near-end crosstalk (NEXT) performance than lower category cables. The short 0.5 m length minimizes latency and signal loss in patching scenarios while keeping cable clutter low. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with common networking equipment.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels, or network interface cards in racks and wall-mounted cabinets
• Short patching between ports in data centers, server rooms, and telecommunication closets
• Linking desktop PCs, VoIP phones, and networked printers where a short cable run is required
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference that benefit from shielded cable construction

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding type: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil-shielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Color: Blue
• Typical applications: 10/100/1000/10G Ethernet (within category performance limits)

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding network ports until the latch clicks. Use the cable to patch between network devices such as switches and servers or to connect end-user devices to wall ports. Ensure the cable is not bent sharply or routed near sources of strong electromagnetic noise beyond the shielding capacity. For rack installations, route the cable through designated cable management channels to avoid strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and kinks; maintain the cable within recommended bend radius and avoid placing heavy objects on it. When used in environments with significant electromagnetic interference, confirm proper grounding of connected equipment and use shielded connectors and panels if available. Choose the 0.5 m length for short-distance patching to reduce excess cable and potential signal reflections.
