Networking Cable Tecline S/FTP Cat6A 5m

The Tecline S/FTP Cat6A 5m networking cable is a 5-meter, blue Ethernet lead designed for high-speed wired connections. Engineered to support data transfer rates up to 10,000 Mbit/s, the cable uses S/FTP (shielded foil with overall braided shield) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Both ends are fitted with standard RJ-45 connectors for compatibility with switches, routers, patch panels and network devices that accept Cat6A performance.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding provides improved protection against external noise compared with unshielded cables, which helps maintain reliable 10G performance over the full 5 m length. Cat6A specification ensures consistent signal integrity for demanding network tasks, while factory-terminated RJ-45 plugs simplify installation. The cable's blue outer jacket makes it easy to identify in structured cabling setups and the 5 m length balances reach and minimal signal loss for typical desktop-to-wall or rack-to-equipment connections.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in home or office networks
• Linking switches, routers and patch panels in data cabinets
• High-bandwidth applications such as video streaming and large file transfers
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielding is preferred
• Temporary or permanent workstation cabling where a 5 m length is appropriate

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A (Class EA)
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall braid plus individual pair foil
• Rated data speed: up to 10,000 Mbit/s (10 Gbps)
• Length: 5 meters
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends (factory-terminated)
• Colour: blue outer jacket
• Typical use frequency: up to 500 MHz (Cat6A performance)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the Ethernet port of your network device and the other to a switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. For routing through cable management or conduits, avoid sharp bends and maintain the cable bend radius recommended for Cat6A to preserve performance. When connecting to shielded ports, ensure proper grounding of the system to benefit from the S/FTP shielding.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs free of parallel power lines and avoid tight bundling with unshielded cables. Use the 5 m length for workstation or rack connections where minimal slack is preferred. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and replace the cable if the shielding or jacket is compromised.
