Networking Cable Helos 118109 Orange 30m Cat6a S/FTP

The Helos 118109 Orange 30m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable is a 30‑metre, shielded Ethernet cable designed for stable high‑speed data transmission. Meeting Cat6a specifications and using S/FTP shielding, the cable supports 10GBase‑T applications and reduces electromagnetic interference. Both ends are terminated with RJ‑45 connectors and the bright orange jacket provides easy identification in cable runs.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs to minimise crosstalk and external interference, improving signal integrity over longer distances. Its Cat6a specification enables support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet at suitable distances, while the 30 m length covers medium to longer runs without additional patching. Durable outer jacket and factory‑terminated RJ‑45 plugs ensure straightforward installation and consistent contact quality.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in offices, server rooms, and media production environments
• High‑bandwidth applications such as video streaming, VoIP and large file transfers
• Structured cabling where shielded cables are required to limit EMI
• Temporary or permanent network runs where a visible cable colour aids identification

Key specifications

• Length: 30 m
• Category: Cat6a
• Shielding type: S/FTP (overall foil + individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45, factory‑terminated
• Supported PHY: 10GBase‑T
• Colour: Orange

How to use

Route the cable between network points avoiding sharp bends and areas with strong electromagnetic sources where possible. Plug the RJ‑45 connectors into the Ethernet ports of switches, routers or computers until they click into place. For structured cabling installations, allow some service slack and secure the cable with appropriate cable management accessories. Test the link with a network tester or compatible equipment to verify connectivity and performance at the required data rate.

Recommendations

For best performance, maintain bend radii above manufacturer recommendations and keep the cable separated from power lines and unshielded electrical equipment. Use shielded connectors and grounded panels when integrating into a shielded structured cabling system to preserve the S/FTP shielding effectiveness.
