Networking Cable Tecline 72220R Red 20m Cat6a S/FTP

The Tecline 72220R Red 20m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable is a 20-metre network patch cable designed for high-speed wired connections. Constructed to Cat6a specification with S/FTP shielding and terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, this cable is intended to deliver consistent data transmission and reduced electromagnetic interference. Its red jacket provides visual identification for cable runs in structured environments such as offices, server rooms, and multimedia setups.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs to minimize crosstalk and external noise, supporting stable performance at higher frequencies. As a Cat6a cable it is suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over distances up to its rated length and offers improved headroom for future network upgrades. The 20 m length balances reach and manageability, and the colored outer sheath aids in quick identification and organization of cabling pathways.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in office and data center patches within 20 m runs
• High-bandwidth video streaming and AV installations
• Connections between switches, routers, patch panels, and network devices
• Home networking where interference reduction and cable identification are needed

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding type: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 20 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Color: Red outer jacket
• Suitable for: up to 10 Gbps Ethernet at supported distances

How to use

Route the cable between network devices ensuring bends are gentle and the minimum bend radius recommended for Ethernet cabling is respected. Insert each RJ-45 plug firmly into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks. For permanent or semi-permanent installations, secure the cable with suitable cable management accessories to prevent strain on the connectors and to maintain consistent performance. Avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for connections within its 20 m length and pair it with shielded RJ-45 ports or properly grounded equipment when possible. Test links after installation with appropriate network testers to verify signal integrity and continuity.
