VALUE S/FTP Patch Cord Category 6a Shielded RJ45 Ethernet Network Cable 20m Grey

The VALUE S/FTP Patch Cord Category 6a Shielded RJ45 Ethernet Network Cable 20m Grey is a reliable networking solution designed for high-speed data transmission in home and office local area networks. Measuring 20 meters in length, this grey patch cable supports data transfer rates of up to 10 Gbit/s and a bandwidth of 500 MHz, making it well-suited for demanding network environments. It features pre-installed RJ45 connectors on both ends and utilizes a shielded twisted pair construction to minimize signal interference and ensure stable connectivity.

Advantages

This network cable offers robust shielding through aluminium foil paired with a complete braided shielding layer, effectively reducing electromagnetic interference for a stable network connection. The flexible cable design allows for easy routing, even in narrow bending spaces. Additionally, it features moulded kink protection that enhances durability and prevents damage near the connectors during installation and daily use. The impedance of 100 Ohm and standard 1:1 contact settings ensure seamless compatibility with existing network infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches, routers, and patch panels in local area networks
• Establishing structured Cat.6a shielded cabling systems in offices or homes
• Long-distance wired network connections requiring up to 20 meters of reach
• High-bandwidth applications demanding stable 10 Gbit/s data transfer rates

When it may not be suitable

This 20-meter cable may be excessively long for short-range connections between devices located close to each other, which can lead to unnecessary cable clutter. Additionally, it is designed for indoor networking environments and is not built for outdoor installations exposed to direct weather elements.

• Color: Grey
• Category: Cat.6a S/FTP
• Bandwidth: 500 MHz
• Data transfer rate: Up to 10 Gbit/s
• Connectors: RJ45 on both ends
• Impedance: 100 Ohm
• Construction: 8 lines, pairs shielded with aluminium foil, complete braided shielding

How to use

To use the VALUE S/FTP Patch Cord, insert the RJ45 connector on one end of the cable into an available network port on your router, switch, or wall jack. Connect the opposing RJ45 connector to the network port of your target device, such as a computer, network printer, or gaming console. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted until a secure click is heard. Route the 20-meter cable carefully along walls, baseboards, or through cable management channels, avoiding sharp bends that exceed the flexibility limits of the cable.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 20-meter length is appropriate for the distance between your networked devices
• Confirm that your existing network hardware supports Category 6a specifications
• Check whether your setup requires a shielded S/FTP cable to prevent local electromagnetic interference

Usage recommendations: To maintain optimal network performance, avoid tightly coiling excess cable length and protect the moulded kink protection from excessive strain during routing.
