Networking Cable Helos 263818 White 7.5m Cat6a S/FTP

The Helos 263818 White 7.5m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable is designed for reliable wired network connections where consistent signal quality and reduced interference are required. This Cat6a cable supports high-speed data transmission over a 7.5 meter length and comes with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors on both ends for stable contact and lower contact resistance. The S/FTP shielding construction combines an overall shield with individually foil-shielded pairs to reduce electromagnetic and crosstalk interference in office, home, or AV installations while the white jacket offers a neutral appearance for visible cable runs.

Advantages

The S/FTP design provides enhanced protection against external electromagnetic interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk compared with unshielded cables, improving stability for demanding network applications. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact reliability and help minimise signal loss at connection points. The 7.5 m length balances reach and manageability for connecting equipment within a room or between nearby racks, and the white outer jacket allows for inconspicuous installation along walls or ceilings.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting desktop PCs, switches and routers within an office or home environment
• Wiring for VoIP phones and video conferencing endpoints
• High-bandwidth applications such as HD/4K video streaming and file transfer
• AV installations and small server rack connections where shielding reduces interference

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield plus individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 7.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Connector plating: gold-plated contact surfaces
• Colour: White

How to use

Plug one gold-plated RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device (PC, switch, router or VoIP phone) and insert the other RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port on the network endpoint. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, tight kinks and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For installations through conduits or behind panels, allow some slack to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable in shielded or low-interference environments and pair it with compatible Cat6a-rated network equipment. Avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines for extended distances; if crossing is necessary, do so at right angles. Periodically inspect connectors for dirt or damage and replace the cable if physical wear compromises the shielding or connector integrity.
