Network patch cable Telegärtner L00005A0188 Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP) 10 m RJ‑45–RJ‑45 green

Telegärtner L00005A0188 is a 10 m Cat6a network patch cable with S/FTP (S‑STP) shielding and RJ‑45 connectors on both ends. It is designed for high‑performance Ethernet links and supports Cat6a bandwidth to carry 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short to medium runs. The green jacket simplifies identification in structured cabling environments such as server rooms and LAN installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S‑STP) shielding provides improved protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk compared with unshielded cables, helping to maintain signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. Cat6a performance ensures support for 10 Gbps Ethernet where required, while the RJ‑45 terminations offer broad compatibility with networking equipment. The 10 m length covers typical patching and horizontal cabling needs without excess slack.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in LANs and data centres
• Patching between switches, patch panels and wall outlets
• Server room and rack-to-rack cabling
• Environments requiring shielded cable to reduce interference

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not necessary for basic home networks that only require lower bandwidth (for example 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps) where unshielded Cat5e/Cat6 cables would suffice. It may also be excessive for very long backbone runs beyond the performance limits of copper cabling, where fibre solutions are preferred.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (individual foil around pairs with overall braided shield)
• Length: 10 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Green

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 plug to your network device (switch, patch panel or wall jack) and the other plug to the corresponding port. Ensure both ends are fully inserted until the connector latches engage. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; use cable management accessories to secure and label the cable as needed for identification.

What to consider before purchase

• Required network speed (confirm need for Cat6a and 10 Gbps capability)
• Desired cable length and routing path to avoid excess slack or tension
• Whether shielded cable is needed for your environment
• Colour coding preferences for cable identification

Usage recommendations

For best performance, keep cable runs within recommended lengths for copper Ethernet, avoid tight bends and kinks, and terminate only on compatible RJ‑45 ports. Use shielded connectors and grounded patch panels in installations that require the cable's shielding to be effective.
