Networking Cable Dexlan 858703 2m Cat6a S/FTP Grey

The Dexlan 858703 2m Cat6a S/FTP Grey networking cable is a 2-meter Ethernet patch cable built to Cat6a specification with S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors at both ends. It is intended for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling, home networks, offices and equipment interconnects where improved protection from electromagnetic interference is required. The grey jacket offers a neutral appearance that integrates into most installations.

Advantages

The cable's Cat6a performance supports higher bandwidth and reduced crosstalk compared with lower-category cables, enabling reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections over short runs. S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded twisted pairs to reduce external electromagnetic interference and limit near-end crosstalk. Factory-terminated RJ-45 plugs provide ready-to-use connectivity and consistent electrical performance. The 2 meter length balances reach and cable management for desk-to-switch or patch panel connections.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (for example a computer, switch or router) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the patch panel or network equipment. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks and route the cable to avoid sharp bends; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for twisted-pair cables and avoid running the cable parallel to power lines where possible. For optimal performance, use within structured cabling channels and verify link speed and signal integrity after installation with appropriate network test equipment if required.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short-run 10 Gbps links within racks, between desk and switch, or for connections where shielding is needed to mitigate interference. Avoid excessive bending or stretching, and maintain proper cable management to preserve performance over time.
