Networking Cable Helos CAT6 S/FTP (PIMF) 20m Red

The Helos CAT6 S/FTP (PIMF) networking cable provides reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over a 20 m length. Designed for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks, the cable uses S/FTP (shielded foil with individually shielded pairs) construction to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. Both ends are terminated with RJ-45 connectors for direct connection to switches, routers, patch panels and network devices. The red jacket makes the cable easy to identify in bundled installations and adds a visible color code for cable management.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP (PIMF) shielding improves signal integrity in environments with electrical noise and dense cable runs. Its CAT6 specification supports Gigabit speeds and reliable performance for typical office and home networking needs. A 20 m length allows flexible placement of devices without the need for intermediate patching. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with common networking equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, printers and NAS devices to a network switch
• Patching between wall outlets and network equipment in offices or data closets
• Home network wiring where visible color-coding is useful
• Temporary or permanent installations requiring reduced interference

Key specifications

• Cable type: CAT6 S/FTP (PIMF) – individually shielded pairs with overall shield
• Length: 20 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Supported standards: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Jacket colour: Red

How to use

Route the cable between network devices, avoiding tight bends and sharp edges to maintain performance. Plug RJ-45 connectors firmly into the Ethernet ports of your router, switch or device until the latch clicks. For wall or rack installations, use cable management accessories and secure both ends to prevent strain on the connectors. Do not exceed recommended bend radius and keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines to minimize interference.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable for Gigabit Ethernet links up to 20 m without additional patching. In high-interference environments, ensure shield continuity by connecting shields to grounded equipment or shielded patch panels. Label both ends if used in multi-cable bundles and avoid running parallel to mains power for extended distances.
