S/FTP Patch Cord VALUE Cat.6a grey 20 m

The VALUE S/FTP Patch Cord Cat.6a in grey, 20 m, is a prepared shielded twisted-pair (PiMF) patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for wired networking and data transfer at up to 10 Gbit/s and a bandwidth of 500 MHz. The cable has an overall braid shield and foil-shielded pairs, a characteristic impedance of 100 Ohm, and contact wiring 1:1 according to the EIA/TIA 568 standard. The moulded kink protection and flexible jacket make it suitable for installations with narrow bending radii.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference and provides reliable signal integrity for Cat.6a networks. With RJ-45 connectors on both ends and robust moulded strain relief, the 20 m patch cord offers durable connections and straightforward installation. Its 100 Ohm impedance and standardized 1:1 contact mapping ensure compatibility with structured cabling components and equipment that support 10 Gbit/s.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office or data center environments
• High-speed Ethernet links up to 10 Gbit/s
• Shielded Cat.6a structured cabling systems
• Runs requiring flexible cable with narrow bend capability

Key specifications

• Product: S/FTP Patch Cord VALUE Cat.6a
• Length: 20 m
• Colour: grey
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Bandwidth: 500 MHz
• Impedance: 100 Ohm
• Construction: 8 conductors, pairs shielded with aluminium foil, complete braided shielding (S/FTP, PiMF)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, contact setting 1:1 (EIA/TIA 568)

How to use

Plug the RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding ports on network devices such as switches, routers or patch panels. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and strain relief rests against the device panel to minimise mechanical stress. Route the cable avoiding tight bends and sharp edges; observe recommended bend radii to maintain performance. For integration into a structured shielded Cat.6a installation, terminate and connect shielding according to your system grounding practice.

Usage recommendations

For a complete structured shielded Cat.6a cabling system, use compatible components such as VALUE Cat.6a S/FTP solid cable, shielded keystone jacks and patch panels to preserve shielding continuity and achieve optimal 10 Gbit/s performance.
