Networking cable DELOCK 80240 Cat6a U/FTP (STP) RJ-45–RJ-45, 1 m, black

DELOCK 80240 is a 1 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP) network cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed Ethernet links up to 10 Gbps. The cable features individually foil-shielded twisted pairs and an overall braid shield to reduce electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable data transmission between switches, routers, patch panels and workstations. A robust outer jacket combined with an inner metal sheath increases protection against moisture, dust and mechanical damage while maintaining high flexibility for neat routing in racks and installations.

Advantages

The cable supports Cat6a performance for 10 Gigabit networks and provides improved shielding by using U/FTP construction and an inner metal jacket, which together reduce crosstalk and external EMI. Its RJ-45 plugs on both ends ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet ports. The robust outer jacket and inner metal sheath offer enhanced mechanical protection without sacrificing bendability, allowing easier installation in confined spaces and cable channels.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Shielding: U/FTP — individually foil-shielded pairs with overall shield and inner metal jacket
• Connector: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 1 m
• Outer colour: black
• Conductor arrangement: twisted pairs
• Flexibility: designed for flexible routing despite inner metal sheath

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the Ethernet port of a network device (for example a NIC, switch, router or patch panel) and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a reliable physical and data connection. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and extreme compression of the cable; maintain recommended bend radii and route the cable away from high-power electrical lines to minimize interference.

Recommendations

Use the DELOCK 80240 cable for horizontal patching in racks, short links between devices in server rooms or office workstations where 10 Gbps performance and additional shielding are required. When installing in permanent or exposed runs, evaluate environmental conditions and secure the cable to avoid mechanical stress and repeated bending.
