Networking cable DELOCK 80254 Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) RJ-45 to RJ-45 0.5 m Black

DELOCK 80254 is a 0.5 m Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable is designed for high-speed Ethernet links and provides improved protection against alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference thanks to its individually foil-shielded pairs and overall braid. Included coloured secure clips allow quick visual identification and attachment to the bend protection boot, and the RJ-45 plug features a locking mechanism that secures the connection in jacks, panels or patch panels; a key is supplied to unlock the plug.

Advantages

The Cat6a specification supports higher data rates and reduced crosstalk compared with lower category cables while the S/FTP (S-STP) shielding enhances noise immunity in environments with electrical interference. The short 0.5 m length minimises signal loss and clutter in rack or desktop patching applications. Coloured secure clips simplify cable management, and the lockable RJ-45 plug prevents accidental or unauthorised disconnection in shared or public installations.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches, routers and wall outlets in home and small office networks
• Short horizontal or rack patch connections in server cabinets and network enclosures
• Environments requiring additional protection against electromagnetic interference
• Installations where physical locking of the RJ-45 connection is desired

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 0.5 m
• Colour: Black
• Included accessories: Coloured secure clips and locking key

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 plug into the corresponding RJ-45 jacks on network devices until the plug latches. For secured installations, place the supplied coloured clip onto the bend protection boot for identification and, if required, engage the locking mechanism by inserting the plug fully and turning the lock as instructed; use the provided key to unlock when disconnection is needed. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and strain on the connectors to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m Cat6a cable for short patch runs where high-speed performance and improved shielding are required. Keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines and sources of strong electromagnetic interference when possible. Use the coloured clips for consistent labelling and keep the locking key in a secure place to control authorised access to the network connection.
