Telegärtner RJ45 Patch Cable CAT6a SF/UTP 0.5 m Green with Strain Relief (100008108)

Telegärtner RJ45 Patch Cable CAT6a SF/UTP 0.5 m Green with Strain Relief is a short Ethernet patch lead intended for connecting network equipment in structured cabling environments. The 0.5 m cable uses CAT6a pair-level foil shielding within an otherwise unshielded assembly (SF/UTP) and is fitted with RJ-45 straight male connectors on both ends plus a molded strain relief boot. It is designed for high-speed Ethernet links where a compact patch cord is required, and the green jacket provides visual identification in patch fields.

Advantages

The cable supports 10 Gigabit-capable data transmission over CAT6a performance class wiring through pair-level foil shielding that reduces crosstalk. The RJ-45 plugs follow standard form factors for reliable mating with switches, patch panels and network ports, while the integrated strain relief reduces bending stress at the connector. The short 0.5 m length minimises cable clutter in racks and at workstations and helps maintain clean, predictable signal paths.

Suitable for

• Patching switches to patch panels in data centres and telecom rooms
• Short interconnections between network devices in equipment cabinets
• Workstation or desktop connections where minimal cable length is required
• Environments requiring visual colour coding of network segments

When it may not be suitable

This 0.5 m patch cable is not intended where longer reach is required; select a longer length from the manufacturer’s range for runs beyond this distance. It is an SF/UTP (pair-foil) construction and not a fully braided shielded cable; in installations demanding full overall shielding for specific electromagnetic compatibility requirements, choose a fully shielded cable type.

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6a (pair-level foil shielding, SF/UTP)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ‑45 straight male — both ends
• Data rate capability: suitable for up to 10 Gbit/s links over appropriate channel configurations
• Colour: Green jacket
• Strain relief: moulded boot to reduce bend stress at connector

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 plug to the network port of a switch, patch panel or device and the other plug to the corresponding port to establish the link. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. For best performance, avoid sharp bends near the connector and keep the cord free from heavy compression or tension; the integrated strain relief helps protect the termination point. Use colour-coded cables in patch fields to maintain organised cable management.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length for the planned connection (0.5 m is best for short patching)
• Shielding needs of the installation (pair-foil SF/UTP vs. full overall shielding)
• Compatibility of RJ‑45 ports on your equipment and space constraints in racks or panels

Usage recommendations

Use this 0.5 m CAT6a SF/UTP patch cable for short, high-speed links where reduced cable slack and colour-coded identification are important. Avoid routing it through areas with strong mechanical stress or where overall braided shielding is mandatory.
