Networking cable Telegärtner Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) RJ-45–RJ-45 0.5 m Blue

Telegärtner Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The 0.5 m Blue patch cable supports data rates up to 10 Gbit/s and features S/FTP shielding for improved electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). It is intended for short patching runs such as rack-to-switch connections and other high-speed Ethernet links in office or data center environments.

Advantages

The cable follows the EIA/TIA 568B pin assignment and provides full 360-degree plug shielding on shielded cable variants, which reduces interference. It is flexible, strain-relieved and fitted with a moulded strain relief boot to protect the connector and cable transition. The cable meets Cat6a performance requirements for 10 Gbit/s applications.

Suitable for

• Short patch cords between equipment in racks and patch panels
• Connections between switches and servers in data cabinets
• High-speed Ethernet links up to 10 Gbit/s

When it may not be suitable

This 0.5 m cable is designed for short runs and patching; it is not suitable where longer cable runs are required. For unshielded network environments that do not require EMC protection, a simpler UTP cable may be sufficient and more cost-effective.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 (straight and angled options)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Maximum data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Pin assignment: EIA/TIA 568B
• Shielding: S/FTP with 360° plug shielding (for shielded variants)
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Plug the RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding ports on your network devices, ensuring correct orientation for the angled or straight connector as required. Use the cable for short patching tasks such as connecting switches, servers, patch panels or other network equipment inside racks and cabinets. Avoid sharp bends at the connector and do not stretch the cable; use the moulded strain relief boot as intended to reduce mechanical stress.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length — this item is 0.5 m long and best for short connections
• Shielding needs — S/FTP provides EMC protection; check if your installation requires shielded cabling
• Connector orientation — straight and angled RJ-45 options are available; choose the type that fits your rack layout

Usage recommendations

Use this Telegärtner Cat6a S/FTP patch cable for short, high-speed Ethernet connections in shielded or EMC-sensitive environments. For maximum performance, avoid excessive bending near the connectors and ensure proper grounding of shielded network components if required.
