InLine verkkokaapeli S/FTP PiMF Cat.6A halogeeniton 500MHz oranssi 5m

This InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.6A halogen free 500MHz in orange and 5 m length is a shielded network patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. It supports frequencies up to 500 MHz, uses gold-plated RJ-45 connectors on both ends and features S/FTP (shielded foil around each pair with overall braid) and Pair in Metal Foil (PiMF) construction to reduce crosstalk and external interference. The halogen-free jacket limits toxic gas emission in the event of fire and the bright orange colour increases visibility in patch panels and cabling runs.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP PiMF shielding provides improved protection against electromagnetic interference and near-end crosstalk compared with unshielded alternatives, helping to maintain signal integrity at higher frequencies. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors offer reliable contact and corrosion resistance for consistent network performance. A halogen-free outer jacket reduces the risk of harmful fumes during combustion, making the cable appropriate for installations where fire safety standards require low smoke and halogen-free materials. The 5 m length offers flexibility for connecting equipment within racks, workstations or network closets while the orange colour simplifies identification in mixed-cable environments.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet links (10 Gigabit Ethernet where applicable within Cat.6A performance)
• Data centers and server racks requiring shielded cabling
• Office workstations and network closets with visible cable routing
• Environments where halogen-free materials are preferred for fire safety

How to use

Connect one gold-plated RJ-45 connector to the network device (switch, router or network interface) and the other connector to the target equipment or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and reduce exposure to strong electromagnetic sources; maintain proper bend radius and avoid kinking. For installations in shielded environments, ensure the cable’s shielding is properly terminated through compatible shielded connectors or panels to maintain overall effectiveness.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, avoid bending the cable beyond the manufacturer’s recommended radius, keep the cable away from high-power electrical lines where possible, and use appropriate strain relief at connection points. When used in shielded installations, verify that grounding and connector compatibility are correctly implemented to preserve the S/FTP shielding benefits.
