Networking Cable Helos CAT6 S/FTP (PIMF) 0.5m Red

The Helos CAT6 S/FTP (PIMF) 0.5m Red networking cable is a short patch cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections in cramped or visible installations. Constructed to support 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks, this 0.5 m cable features RJ-45 connectors on both ends and SF/UTP (PIMF) shielding to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. The red jacket provides clear visual identification for cable management and quick troubleshooting in home or office network racks and desks.

Advantages

High-quality S/FTP (PIMF) shielding improves signal integrity and reduces susceptibility to interference from nearby power cables or electronic devices. The CAT6 specification provides support for gigabit Ethernet speeds, ensuring compatibility with modern switches and routers. A compact 0.5 m length minimizes cable slack and clutter, while molded RJ-45 connectors offer secure, plug-and-play connectivity. The red colour makes the cable easy to trace among multiple connections.

Suitable for

• Short-distance device connections between PCs, switches, routers and patch panels
• Visible installations where color-coded cabling is required
• Tidy desk setups, network racks and patch bays with limited space

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X) (CAT6)
• Shielding: S/FTP (PIMF) — overall braid with individually shielded pairs
• Colour: Red

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device (PC, switch, router or patch panel) and the other connector into the corresponding port of the network equipment. Ensure connectors seat fully until you hear or feel the latch engage. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends near the connector ends and keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference where possible.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m CAT6 S/FTP cable for short, visible connections where color identification and minimized cable slack are important. For longer runs, select a longer cable rated for CAT6 or higher and maintain proper bend radius and shielding continuity to preserve signal quality.
