Telegärtner CAT6a networking cable L00006A0040 — 50 m, S/FTP (S‑STP), RJ‑45 to RJ‑45, Green

Telegärtner CAT6a networking cable L00006A0040 is a 50 m green patch cable designed to support high-speed Ethernet connections up to Cat6a performance. The cable uses S/FTP (S‑STP) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and is terminated with RJ‑45 connectors on both ends for quick connection to switches, servers and patch panels. Its construction is aimed at structured cabling, data center links and LAN backbone runs where consistent data throughput and improved noise immunity are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding provides enhanced protection against external noise and pair-to-pair interference, making the cable suitable for environments with high electromagnetic activity. The 50 m length covers medium to long patching needs without additional joins, and the RJ‑45 terminations ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet ports. The green jacket makes cable identification easier in multi-cable installations and structured cabling systems.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• LAN backbone runs and horizontal cabling in office and data center environments
• Server room and switch interconnections requiring Cat6a performance
• Structured cabling installations where shielded cable is preferred for EMI protection
• Patching between patch panels and active network equipment over a 50 m distance

When it may not be suitable

This cable is designed for fixed Ethernet links and structured cabling; it may be excessive for basic home networks that do not demand Cat6a bandwidth or shielded performance. In scenarios where extreme flexibility, very short patch lengths, or plenum-rated cables are required, other cable types or ratings may be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Length: 50 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil‑shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45
• Colour: Green
• Intended performance: up to Cat6a Ethernet (10 GBASE‑T where supported by network devices)

How to use

Route the cable along cable management paths, avoiding tight bends and sharp edges to maintain signal integrity. Plug the RJ‑45 connectors into corresponding Ethernet ports on switches, patch panels or devices. For best performance, keep the cable separate from power lines and large sources of electromagnetic interference; use cable ties or channels to secure the run. Test the link with appropriate network testers to verify continuity and Cat6a performance after installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that network equipment supports Cat6a or higher speeds you intend to use (e.g., 10 GBASE‑T)
• Check required cable length and plan routing to avoid unnecessary excess or joins
• Confirm whether shielded cable is required by your installation and grounding scheme
• Ensure green jacket colour fits your site labelling or identification scheme

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for backbone and server-room patching where reduced EMI and reliable high-speed links are priorities; ensure proper grounding for shielded cabling and test links after installation to confirm Cat6a performance.
