Networking Cable Tecline S/FTP Cat6A 1m

The Tecline S/FTP Cat6A 1m networking cable is a shielded Ethernet lead designed for high-speed wired connections. This one-metre blue cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and uses Cat6A specifications along with S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and preserve signal integrity. Both ends are fitted with standard RJ-45 connectors for compatibility with switches, routers, patch panels and network devices.

Advantages

S/FTP construction combines an overall braid with individually foiled pairs to provide strong protection against crosstalk and external EMI, making the cable suitable for densely cabled racks and environments with electronic noise. The Cat6A category supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances and offers improved headroom for bandwidth-intensive applications compared with lower-category cables. A one-metre length helps minimise excess cable clutter and signal attenuation in desktop and rack-mounted installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers in home or office networks
• Server racks and patch panels where shielded cabling is required
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over short runs
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference (near power supplies or large electronic equipment)

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid plus individually foiled pairs)
• Maximum supported data rate: 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Length: 1 metre
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Color: Blue

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other into the corresponding port on your switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until you hear or feel the locking tab engage. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and kinks in the cable and keep the run as short as practical to minimise attenuation. When routing in racks, maintain separation from power cabling where possible to further reduce interference.

Usage recommendations

Use this 1 m S/FTP Cat6A cable for short, high-speed links where shielding is beneficial. For longer runs or permanently installed structured cabling, consider professionally terminated shielded cabling designed for installation standards and grounding practices.
