Network cable GEMBIRD PP6A-LSZHCU-2M Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP) 2 m RJ-45 Grey

GEMBIRD PP6A-LSZHCU-2M Cat6 S/FTP (S‑STP) network cable is a 2 m grey patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and gold‑plated contacts. Designed for wired Ethernet installations, this cable provides full Cat6 performance for gigabit networks and includes foil‑shielded pairs plus an overall braided screen to reduce crosstalk and protect against electromagnetic interference. Its compact 2 m length is suitable for short connections between devices in home and office environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S‑STP) construction combines individual foil shielding for each twisted pair with an overall braided shield, offering improved EMI rejection and reduced near‑end crosstalk compared with unshielded alternatives. Gold‑plated contacts ensure stable signal transfer and corrosion resistance at connector interfaces. The cable’s Cat6 specification supports high data rates and reliable performance for gigabit Ethernet applications while the grey jacket provides a neutral appearance for professional installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to local devices
• Patch panel to wall socket or short patch runs in racks
• Desktop PC to network outlet or small office workstations
• Environments requiring reduced interference and improved signal integrity

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 cable suitable for gigabit Ethernet
• Shielding: S/FTP (individual foil on pairs + overall braided shield)
• Connectors: RJ‑45 on both ends with gold‑plated contacts
• Length: 2 m
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Plug each RJ‑45 connector firmly into the network device ports until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the 2 m cable for short point‑to‑point links such as router to switch, switch to patch panel or computer to wall outlet. Route the cable away from high‑power electrical cables and strong EMI sources when possible to maintain signal integrity. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force on the cable or connectors to prevent damage.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat6 S/FTP cable within structured cabling runs or as short patch leads in shielded environments. Verify that connected equipment supports gigabit speeds and, in installations using multiple shielded cables, ensure proper grounding of shielding at one end or according to your site’s grounding practices.
