Networking cable DELOCK 80258 Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) RJ-45 to RJ-45 5 m Black

DELOCK 80258 is a 5 m Cat6a networking cable with S/FTP (S‑STP) shielding and RJ‑45 connectors on both ends. Designed for high‑speed LAN links, this shielded cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance and is suitable for installation in server racks, switches and workstations where reduced electromagnetic interference is required. The product includes coloured secure clips for visual identification and a locking feature with a key to prevent unauthorised removal from jacks or panels.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S‑STP) shielding provides enhanced protection against external electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, helping to maintain signal integrity in dense network environments. The Cat6a specification enables reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission over the specified length. Integrated RJ‑45 plugs on both ends ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet ports. Coloured secure clips simplify cable identification, and the keyed locking mechanism secures the plug in jacks and panels where physical retention is necessary.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centres and office networks
• Connections between switches, routers and servers in rack environments
• Workstation and desktop network links requiring shielded cabling
• Structured cabling runs where interference suppression is important

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (S‑STP)
• Connector type: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45
• Length: 5 m
• Colour: Black
• Includes coloured secure clips and a locking key for RJ‑45 plug retention

How to use

Plug the RJ‑45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports of your devices until the plug clicks into place. Attach a coloured secure clip to the boot of the RJ‑45 plug for identification if required. To lock the plug into a jack or panel, engage the built‑in locking mechanism and secure it using the supplied key; use the key to release the lock when necessary. Ensure connectors are fully seated and that cable routing avoids sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference for optimal performance.

Recommendations

For best results with Cat6a S/FTP cabling, maintain proper bend radius, avoid running the cable in parallel with unshielded power lines, and install connectors and panels that support shielded terminations. Use the coloured clips to label ports in rack installations and keep the locking key in a secure, documented location to control physical access to network ports.
