Networking Cable Tecline 0.5m Cat6a S/FTP Green

The Tecline 0.5m Cat6a S/FTP Green is a short, high-performance Ethernet cable designed for reliable network connections where space is limited. It meets Cat6a standards and features S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring stable data transmission at higher speeds. The cable is fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and comes in a distinctive green jacket for easy identification in patch panels and crowded cable runs.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combines an overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs to provide improved protection against external noise and adjacent-pair interference. The Cat6a specification supports higher frequencies and improved bandwidth compared with lower categories, making this cable suitable for Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet in short runs. The 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter, minimizes signal loss in short-distance links, and simplifies neat routing behind network equipment. The green color helps quickly locate and trace connections during installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Short interconnects between patch panels, switches and servers in racks
• Connecting network equipment in dense wiring closets or office desks
• High-speed links for Gigabit and 10GBase-T over short distances
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (augmented)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid plus individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Length: 0.5 m
• Conductor: twisted pair copper (solid or stranded depending on manufacturer variant)
• Color: green jacket for easy identification
• Suitable frequency range: up to 500 MHz (Cat6a standard)

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your switch, patch panel, router or network device and insert the other end into the corresponding port. Ensure connectors are fully seated to secure the link and avoid excessive bending near the connectors to maintain signal integrity. For rack installations, route the cable along cable management paths to keep airflow unobstructed and to prevent strain on connectors. Verify link status on devices after connection to confirm proper operation.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short-distance, high-speed links where shielding matters. Avoid running the cable parallel to large power lines for extended distances and maintain the cable bend radius recommended by networking equipment manufacturers. When mixing cable types in a network, keep shielded and unshielded cables properly segregated and, if required, use compatible grounded connectors or shields to preserve the effectiveness of the S/FTP design.
