VALUE S/FTP Patch Cord Cat.6a, grey 15 m, shielded network cable with RJ45 connectors

The VALUE S/FTP Patch Cord Cat.6a, grey 15 m is a shielded network cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in local area networks. It provides a stable connection for networking devices such as computers, routers, and switches, supporting demanding data transfer needs over a 15-meter length in a neutral grey colour.

Advantages

This network cable utilizes a prepared shielded Twisted Pair construction with PiMF and complete braided shielding, combined with aluminium foil, to minimize electromagnetic interference. It is capable of supporting data transfer rates of up to 10 Gbit/s and a bandwidth of 500 MHz, making it suitable for high-performance networking environments. The cable is flexible and designed for narrow bending, while the moulded kink protection ensures enhanced durability during daily use and installation.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches, and routers in local area networks
• High-speed data transfer applications requiring up to 10 Gbit/s performance
• Networking setups over a 15-meter distance
• Structured shielded Cat.6a cabling environments

When it may not be suitable, this cable might be longer than required for standard desktop connections within the same rack or immediate workspace. Additionally, unshielded or lower category environments that do not utilize Cat.6a standards will not fully benefit from the advanced shielding and high bandwidth specifications of this cable.

Key specifications

• Cable type: S/FTP Cat.6a patch cord
• Length: 15 meters
• Colour: Grey
• Data transfer rate: Up to 10 Gbit/s
• Bandwidth: 500 MHz
• Impedance: 100 Ohm
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Wiring: 8 lines, 1:1 contact settings according to EIA/TIA 568 standard
• Shielding: Pairs shielded with aluminium foil and complete braided shielding

To use this patch cord, connect one RJ-45 connector to the network port of your device, such as a computer or router, and insert the other RJ-45 connector into a compatible network socket, switch, or patch panel. Ensure the connectors click securely into place to maintain a stable physical and electrical connection. Route the flexible cable carefully around corners using its narrow bending capability, avoiding excessive pulling or sharp pinches to preserve the internal shielding and conductors.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that a 15-meter length is appropriate for your specific distance requirements
• Check that your network equipment features compatible RJ-45 ports supporting Cat.6a standards
• Consider whether shielded S/FTP cabling is necessary for your environment to manage electromagnetic interference

Usage recommendations: Inspect the cable connectors and outer jacket periodically for any signs of physical wear. Avoid placing heavy furniture or sharp objects directly on the cable to maintain optimal signal integrity and longevity.
