Netwerkkabel Telegärtner CAT6a 20m rood S/FTP

The Telegärtner CAT6a 20m Red S/FTP networking cable is a 20-metre Ethernet cable designed for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling and point-to-point links. Constructed to the Cat6a standard with S/FTP (shielded foil around pairs with overall braid) shielding and RJ-45 connectors at both ends, the cable supports stable connections and reduced electromagnetic interference. Its red jacket provides clear visual identification in racks, patch panels, or floor runs.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielded design minimises crosstalk and external interference, preserving signal integrity for gigabit and 10 gigabit applications. The 20 m length allows flexible placement between network devices without intermediate patching. Factory-terminated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent contact and simple plug-and-play installation into switches, routers, and patch panels. The coloured jacket aids in cable management and quick visual tracing within complex installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, servers, and workstations in office and data center environments
• Patch panel to active equipment runs in structured cabling systems
• High-bandwidth applications such as AV streaming, virtualization, and large file transfers
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference from nearby electrical equipment

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a (suitable for up to 10 Gbps over appropriate distances)
• Length: 20 metres
• Shielding: S/FTP (individual pair foil + overall braid)
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends, factory-terminated
• Jacket colour: Red
• Conductor type: stranded or solid copper conductors appropriate for patch cabling (factory-terminated)

How to use

Route the cable between network devices, ensuring the length is sufficient and avoiding tight bends or kinks. Insert the RJ-45 connectors firmly into the corresponding network ports on switches, routers, patch panels, or devices until they click. For best performance, keep the cable run separate from high-voltage power lines and maintain recommended bend radius to avoid degradation. If routing through racks or cable trays, secure the cable with appropriate ties or organisers without crushing the jacket or shielding.

Recommendations

Use the red-coloured cable for clear identification of specific links such as uplinks, voice networks, or critical services. For permanent horizontal cabling longer than recommended patch lengths, verify that the installed environment and terminations meet Cat6a performance requirements. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force when installing to preserve shielding effectiveness and connector integrity.
