Networking Cable Tecline S/FTP Cat6A 5m

The Tecline S/FTP Cat6A 5m networking cable is a 5-metre ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed wired networks. It supports data transfer rates up to 10,000 Mbit/s and uses S/FTP (shielded foil around individual pairs plus overall braid) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, the cable is suitable for backbone links, workstation connections, and other installations requiring a stable Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connection. The cable is finished in black for inconspicuous integration into rack and office environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding design provides enhanced protection against external interference and minimizes pair-to-pair crosstalk, improving signal integrity at higher frequencies. Cat6A specification enables reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance over the 5 m length while maintaining backward compatibility with lower-category network equipment. Factory-terminated RJ-45 connectors ensure straightforward plug-and-play installation without additional tooling. The cable's construction offers consistent impedance and low attenuation for stable data transmission in demanding applications.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• High-speed connections between switches and servers in data closets and small racks
• Direct workstation connections for professional desktops and multimedia workstations
• Connecting networked AV equipment and streaming devices requiring low-latency links
• Temporary or permanent patching in structured cabling within offices and server rooms

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A (augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: S/FTP — foil shield per pair plus overall braided shield
• Length: 5 metres
• Maximum data rate: up to 10,000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Colour: black
• Conductor arrangement: twisted pairs

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network device (switch, router, network card) and the other to the target device to establish a wired Ethernet link. Ensure both connected devices support the intended data rates and that ports are configured for the required network parameters. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and run it away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate clips or cable management elements without over-compressing the shielded jacket or connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal 10 Gigabit performance, use this Cat6A S/FTP cable for runs up to the specified length and pair it with compatible shielded network hardware and properly grounded racks or outlets. Avoid excessive bending radii around tight corners and keep the cable separated from high-voltage power lines to maintain signal integrity.
