S/FTP Cat.6A Patch Cord 20 m, Gray, RJ45, LW, PC005-C6A-2000

LW S/FTP Cat.6A patch cord 20 m, PC005-C6A-2000 is a shielded Ethernet network cable with RJ45 connectors designed for stable data transmission in local area networks, server rooms, telecommunications cabinets, office infrastructure, and other structured cabling systems. Cat.6A is intended for high-speed Ethernet connections, including up to 10 Gbit/s when used with compatible equipment and a properly designed cabling channel.

The 20-meter length makes this patch cord suitable for connecting devices over longer distances where short patch leads are not sufficient. The S/FTP shielding helps reduce the influence of electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, which is especially useful in environments with a high concentration of active network and electrical equipment.

What Is a Cat.6A Patch Cord Used For?

This Ethernet patch cable can be used to connect computers, servers, switches, routers, patch panels, network storage devices, IP cameras, wireless access points, and other equipment equipped with RJ45 Ethernet ports.

Cat.6A cabling is a practical choice for new network installations and upgrades where high bandwidth, stable connectivity, and additional performance reserve for future network development are important.

What Does S/FTP Mean?

S/FTP refers to a shielded twisted-pair cable construction that includes overall shielding together with additional shielding around the individual twisted pairs. This design helps reduce external electromagnetic interference and crosstalk between cable pairs.

An S/FTP patch cord is particularly useful in server rooms, data centers, telecommunications racks, offices with dense cabling, and other environments where electromagnetic interference may affect network performance.

Advantages of the Cat.6A 20 m Patch Cord

• High-speed network support — Cat.6A is suitable for Ethernet connections up to 10 Gbit/s.
• S/FTP shielding — helps reduce electromagnetic interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk.
• 20 m length — suitable for connecting devices located farther apart.
• Ready-to-use RJ45 connectors — no additional crimping is required.
• Wide compatibility — suitable for computers, servers, switches, routers, patch panels, and other Ethernet equipment.
• Gray color — convenient for cable identification and structured network organization.

Where Can the S/FTP Cat.6A Patch Cord Be Used?

The LW PC005-C6A-2000 patch cord is suitable for:

• local area networks;
• server rooms and data centers;
• 19-inch network cabinets and racks;
• office Ethernet networks;
• structured cabling systems;
• IP video surveillance systems;
• Wi-Fi access point connections;
• NAS and server connections;
• high-speed home Ethernet networks.

Cat.6A and 10 Gigabit Ethernet

Cat.6A cabling is designed for high-performance network installations and can support 10 Gigabit Ethernet. However, actual network speed depends on the complete cabling channel, including active network equipment, patch panels, outlets, horizontal cabling, connectors, and installation quality.

For maximum performance, it is recommended to use compatible components of the appropriate category throughout the network channel and to maintain proper shielding continuity where required by the cabling design.

How to Choose a Cat.6A Patch Cord

When selecting an Ethernet patch cable, consider the required length, cable category, shielding type, connector type, and installation environment. A 20 m cable is useful when devices are located in different areas of a room, between racks, or at a considerable distance from a network outlet or switch.

If the cable will be used in an environment with significant electromagnetic interference, an S/FTP shielded patch cord can be a more suitable solution than an unshielded Ethernet cable.

Connection Recommendations

• avoid excessive bending or mechanical tension on the cable;
• do not damage the outer jacket during installation;
• avoid routing the patch cord directly alongside power cables unless permitted by the cabling design;
• use compatible shielded components in a fully shielded cabling system;
• make sure the RJ45 connectors are securely inserted into the equipment ports.

Frequently Asked Questions About the S/FTP Cat.6A 20 m Patch Cord

What network speed does this patch cord support?
Cat.6A is designed for high-speed Ethernet and can be used for connections up to 10 Gbit/s when the active equipment and all components of the cabling channel support the required standard.

What does S/FTP mean?
S/FTP is a shielded twisted-pair cable design with shielding for the twisted pairs and an overall screen. It helps reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk.

Can this Cat.6A cable be used for Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes. Cat.6A is backward compatible with standard RJ45 Ethernet networks operating at lower speeds, including 1 Gigabit Ethernet.

Can it be used to connect a server or network switch?
Yes. The patch cord is suitable for connecting servers, switches, routers, patch panels, NAS devices, and other network equipment with RJ45 ports.

Is a 20 m patch cord suitable for a home network?
Yes. A 20 m cable can be useful when network devices are located in different rooms or far from the router, switch, or Ethernet outlet.

Do I need a shielded patch panel?
For a fully shielded structured cabling system, compatible shielded components and proper grounding or bonding should be used according to the project requirements.

Can Cat.6A be used with Cat.5e or Cat.6 equipment?
Yes, RJ45 connectivity is generally compatible. However, overall network performance will be limited by the lowest-category or lowest-performance component in the channel.

What should I check before ordering?
Check the required cable length, network category, shielding type, RJ45 compatibility, and the requirements of your structured cabling system.
