Networking Cable Tecline 0.5m Cat6a S/FTP Black

The Tecline 0.5m Cat6a S/FTP Black is a short, high-performance Ethernet patch cable designed for demanding network environments. With Category 6a specification and S/FTP shielding, it supports high-speed data transmission and minimizes electromagnetic interference. Fitted with standard RJ-45 connectors and a compact 0.5 meter length, this black cable is intended for tidy, reliable connections between network devices in racks, wall plates, patch panels or directly between equipment.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded twisted pairs to reduce crosstalk and external noise, improving signal integrity at higher frequencies. The Cat6a specification allows for 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance over short distances, while the short 0.5 m length helps reduce cable clutter and latency in dense installations. Standard RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with common network ports and devices.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting network equipment within server racks and patch panels
• Short runs between switches, routers and networked appliances
• Home or office workstations where minimal cable length is required
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielding is beneficial

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Color: Black
• Suitable for: up to 10 Gbps over appropriate distances

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices, such as switches, routers, servers or network cards. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the locking clip engages. Use the 0.5 m length for short, direct connections to minimize excess cabling; avoid sharp bends and kinks that may stress the cable or affect performance. When routing inside racks or behind devices, position the cable so shielding and connector strain relief are not under sustained pressure.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short interconnects in shielded or high-density installations. Maintain bend radius recommendations, avoid running parallel and close to unshielded power cables, and verify connectors are clean and seated. Replace the cable if the outer jacket, shielding or connector shows visible damage.
