Network patch cable helos S/FTP Cat6, 5.0 m length

helos Patchkabel S/FTP Cat6, 5.0 m length is a shielded Ethernet patch cable engineered for structured cabling environments where Cat6 performance and reduced electromagnetic interference are required. The cable uses overall screen shielding combined with individually foil-shielded twisted pairs (S/FTP) to limit crosstalk and external noise, ensuring consistent signal quality for data rates supported by Category 6 specifications. With a 5.0 m length and standard RJ45 terminations, this patch cable is suitable for linking switches, routers, patch panels and network devices in home, office and small data-center setups.

Advantages

The S/FTP design provides both overall shielding and pair-level foil shields to minimize interference from adjacent cables and external sources. Cat6 construction supports higher bandwidth and improved near-end crosstalk performance compared with lower category cables. A 5.0 m length offers flexibility for typical rack, desk and wall-mounted connections while maintaining signal integrity. The standardized RJ45 connectors allow plug-and-play installation with common network equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office and home networks
• Short to medium horizontal runs between network devices and wall outlets
• Environments where reduced EMI and improved crosstalk performance are needed
• Audio/visual setups requiring reliable Ethernet links for streaming and control

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (meets Category 6 performance characteristics)
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall screen with individually foil-shielded pairs
• Length: 5.0 m
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated on both ends
• Conductor type: twisted pair copper conductors
• Typical use: Ethernet data transmission for 10/100/1000 Mbps networks (Cat6)

How to use

Route the 5.0 m helos S/FTP Cat6 patch cable between network devices ensuring connectors are fully inserted into RJ45 ports until they click. Avoid tight bends and sharp kinks to maintain cable performance; maintain a minimum bend radius consistent with Cat6 cabling best practices. For installations near strong electrical sources, position the cable to maximize distance from power lines and motors to reduce potential interference. If used in patch panels or racks, secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For best results, pair the helos S/FTP Cat6 patch cable with shielded network equipment or properly grounded panels to take full advantage of the shielding. Test links after installation with a suitable network tester to verify continuity and performance characteristics consistent with Cat6 cabling.
