Networking Cable Helos CAT6a S/FTP (PIMF) 0.25m

The Helos CAT6a S/FTP (PIMF) networking cable 0.25m is a short patch cable designed for high-speed network links and equipment interconnections. It uses S/FTP (also referred to as PIMF) shielding with individually foil-shielded pairs and an overall braid to reduce electromagnetic interference, and supports 10GBase-T performance for up to 10000 Mbit/s data transfer. Fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and finished in grey, the cable is suitable for compact installations where a reliable, low-latency connection is required.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP (PIMF) construction minimises crosstalk and external interference, which helps maintain signal integrity in dense cabling environments. Its short 0.25 m length reduces excess slack and clutter in patch panels, racks, and desktop setups. The RJ-45 connectors ensure broad compatibility with network switches, routers, NICs and other Ethernet-equipped equipment. The grey outer jacket offers a neutral appearance that integrates with most office and data center layouts.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switch ports and servers or patch panels
• Desk-side connections for workstations and VoIP phones
• High-speed links requiring 10GBase-T performance over short distances
• Environments where reduced cable bulk and neat routing are preferred

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.25 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil individually for each pair, PIMF)
• Transmission standard: 10GBase-T
• Maximum data rate: 10000 Mbit/s
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of the device and the other into the corresponding port on the switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Because the cable is only 0.25 m long, plan routing to avoid tension or sharp bends and leave a small service loop near equipment if frequent reconnection is expected. For installations in racks or patch panels, route the cable alongside other short patch leads to maintain tidy cable management.

Recommendations

Use this short CAT6a S/FTP cable for close-proximity high-speed connections where minimal slack and good shielding are required. Avoid tight bends or kinking the cable; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius for optimal performance. In electrically noisy environments, verify proper grounding of connected equipment to maximise shielding effectiveness.
