Networking Cable Helos CAT6 S/FTP (PIMF) 1.5m

The Helos CAT6 S/FTP (PIMF) 1.5m networking cable is a shielded Ethernet lead designed for reliable wired connections in home and office networks. It features S/FTP (also described as SF/UTP or PIMF) shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends to support gigabit Ethernet over a short run. The blue jacket provides a clear visual identifier for cabling runs while the overall design focuses on reduced electromagnetic interference and consistent data throughput.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil screen with individually shielded pairs to protect signals from external noise and crosstalk. With support for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) cabling technology and standard RJ-45 terminations, it enables stable high-speed data transfer for devices that require reliable wired connectivity. The 1.5 m length offers a compact solution for connecting equipment located close to each other while maintaining full Cat6 performance characteristics.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops or network switches within short distances
• Home networks where interference reduction is beneficial (near power supplies or appliances)
• Office workstations, small meeting rooms, and patching between nearby network ports

When it may not be suitable

This 1.5 m cable is not intended for long-distance runs; for connections across rooms or between floors a longer cable or structured cabling solution is required. It also does not replace fiber-optic cabling where very long distances or electromagnetic isolation are necessary.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Supported speeds: 10/100/1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other into a router, switch, or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place for a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; keep the cable unstrained at connector ends by providing gentle slack. For best performance verify your devices support gigabit Ethernet and that network ports are configured correctly.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length between devices — 1.5 m is suitable for nearby connections
• Compatibility with device Ethernet ports (standard RJ-45)
• Whether Cat6 shielding level (S/FTP) is necessary for your environment

Recommendations

Use this Helos CAT6 S/FTP cable for short, high-performance wired links where reduced interference is desirable. Avoid running it parallel to mains power cables and replace if connectors or jacket show damage.
