Networking Cable Helos 263782 Yellow 7.5m Cat6a S/FTP

The Helos 263782 networking cable is a 7.5 m Cat6a S/FTP patch cable designed for high-speed wired connections. It uses RJ‑45 connectors with gold plating to improve contact reliability and resist corrosion. S/FTP shielding (shielded foil around each pair plus an overall braided shield) reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting stable data transmission in home, office, and small data centre environments. The cable's yellow jacket helps easy visual identification and tidy cable management in multi-cable installations.

Advantages

This Cat6a S/FTP cable provides improved protection against external interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk compared with unshielded cables, making it suitable for environments with nearby power lines or dense cabling. Gold‑plated RJ‑45 connectors offer consistent connectivity and low contact resistance. The 7.5 m length gives flexibility for connecting devices across rooms or racks without excessive slack. The bright yellow jacket simplifies identification during installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections over short to medium distances
• Wired connections between switches, patch panels and desktop devices
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference
• Structured cabling installations that require color-coded identification

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil shielding on each twisted pair)
• Length: 7.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Color: Yellow
• Typical use: Ethernet patch cable for 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps networks at recommended distances

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 end of the Helos 7.5 m Cat6a cable to the network port of your switch, router, or patch panel and the other end to a computer, server, or networked device. Ensure both connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, tight clamps, or prolonged compression that could damage the shield or conductors. For installations in racks or conduits, maintain proper bend radius and separate power and data cables where possible to minimize interference.

Recommendations

Use this S/FTP Cat6a cable for short- to medium-length links requiring reliable high-speed performance. Avoid exposing the cable to excessive mechanical stress, moisture, or temperatures outside normal indoor operating ranges. For permanent or plenum installations, verify cable compliance with local fire and building codes before deployment.
