Networking Cable Helos 263786 25m Cat6a S/FTP Yellow

The Helos 263786 25m Cat6a S/FTP Yellow networking cable is a 25-meter Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for Cat6a performance, this cable supports high-speed data transmission and is suitable for installations where longer reach and reliable signal integrity are required. The yellow jacket improves visibility and cable management in complex wiring environments, while the S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) construction reduces electromagnetic interference for more stable network connections.

Advantages

This Cat6a S/FTP cable provides improved crosstalk and EMI protection compared with unshielded alternatives, supporting higher frequencies and more consistent throughput. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs enhance contact reliability and reduce corrosion over time. The 25 m length allows flexible placement of devices without intermediate patch panels, and the distinctive yellow colour simplifies identification and routing in multi-cable setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, switches and routers over longer distances within homes or offices
• Structured cabling where enhanced shielding is needed to minimise interference
• Audio‑visual installations and networked media devices requiring stable high bandwidth
• Temporary or permanent installations where cable visibility is desirable

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (supports higher frequencies and throughput than Cat5e/Cat6)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foiled twisted pairs)
• Length: 25 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contacts: Gold-plated
• Colour: Yellow
• Intended use: Ethernet data networking

How to use

Route the Helos Cat6a cable between network devices ensuring no excessive bending or kinking; maintain bend radius consistent with manufacturer guidance to preserve signal integrity. Insert the RJ-45 plugs firmly into the corresponding ports on switches, routers or networked equipment until the latch clicks. For permanent wall or cabinet installations, secure the cable with appropriate cable ties or clips and avoid running alongside high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable in shielded network environments or where EMI is present. Verify connector seating and test link performance with a network tester after installation. When combining with patch panels or keystone jacks, ensure those components support Cat6a and shielding continuity.
