Networking Cable Helos CAT6 S/FTP (PIMF) 2m Red

The Helos CAT6 S/FTP (PIMF) 2m Red networking cable is a 2 meter patch cable designed for reliable gigabit Ethernet connections. The cable uses S/FTP (shielded foil with individually screened pairs, PIMF) construction to reduce external interference and crosstalk, and is fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends for straightforward plug-and-play installation. Its red jacket makes it easy to identify in patch panels, server racks, or office cabling runs.

Advantages

The S/FTP (PIMF) shielding improves signal integrity in environments with nearby electrical noise or dense cable bundles, supporting stable 10/100/1000Base-T(X) performance. At 2 m length, the cable balances flexibility and reach for desk-to-switch or short rack connections. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure broad compatibility with network switches, routers, patch panels and NICs while the coloured outer jacket aids visual organisation during installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, printers and other devices to a nearby switch or patch panel
• Short rack or cabinet patching in network closets and data cabinets
• Environments where reduced EMI and improved pair-to-pair isolation are desirable
• Structured cabling runs requiring visible colour coding for identification

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 m
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Shielding: S/FTP (foil overall with individually shielded pairs, PIMF)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Red

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of your device and the other RJ-45 plug to a switch, router, or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully seated and that the cable is not sharply bent at the connector ends. For best performance avoid running the cable parallel to mains power cables for long distances and keep it within the recommended 100 m channel length for Ethernet links when used as part of longer runs.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short-distance gigabit connections where shielding helps maintain signal quality. Label both ends if integrating into a larger cabling scheme, and verify link speed and duplex through connected devices after installation.
