Ethernet patch cable Dexlan 858747 Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) RJ-45 to RJ-45 5 m White

Dexlan 858747 Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) Ethernet patch cable, 5 m, White, is a shielded network cable built to support high-speed wired connections in office, data centre and home environments. The cable follows the Cat6a specification and uses S/FTP (overall braid plus individually foil-shielded pairs) construction with RJ-45 connectors on both ends to deliver reliable signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference for short-run 10 Gigabit Ethernet links.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding design provides enhanced protection against external electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, improving performance in electrically noisy environments. Cat6a performance characteristics support higher bandwidth and lower crosstalk compared with lower-category cables, enabling stable 10 Gbps operation over typical short distances. The 5 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-switch, patch panel or desktop connections while remaining manageable and easy to route. Factory-terminated RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet ports and simplify installation.

Key specifications

How to use

Verify that both network ports are compatible with RJ-45 connectors and rated for the intended speed. Route the cable between devices avoiding tight bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible. Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding port until the latch clicks. For rack installations, allow some slack to prevent stress on connectors and use cable management accessories to secure the run. Test the link with appropriate network or cable testers to confirm connectivity and performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable length within recommended short-run distances for 10 Gbps operation, maintain gentle bend radii, and avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines. Use the shielded connectors and grounded equipment to ensure the effectiveness of the S/FTP shielding in electrically noisy environments.
