Networking Cable Helos CAT6a S/FTP (PIMF) 15m

The Helos CAT6a S/FTP (PIMF) 15m is a grey networking cable designed for wired Ethernet installations requiring up to 10 Gbit/s performance. The cable uses SF/UTP-style shielding (S/FTP with pairwise foil, PIMF) to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, and is terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends for plug-and-play compatibility with switches, routers, patch panels and network devices. With a 15-meter length, it provides a flexible reach for office desks, server racks and home network setups.

Advantages

The cable supports 10GBase-T transmission, enabling data transfer rates up to 10,000 Mbit/s over copper wiring. Its S/FTP (PIMF) construction isolates each twisted pair with foil while the overall cable is wrapped with an additional shield, improving signal integrity in environments with nearby electrical equipment or dense cable runs. Factory-terminated RJ-45 connectors ensure straightforward installation without the need for crimping tools. The grey jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for professional installations.

Suitable for

• 10GBase-T network connections between switches, servers and desktops
• Patch panels and structured cabling in offices or data closets
• Home network setups requiring higher bandwidth for media streaming and gaming
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cable is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable length: 15 m
• Cabling technology: 10GBase-T
• Maximum data rate: up to 10,000 Mbit/s
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield + pairwise foil, PIMF)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 (both ends terminated)
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network device (switch, router or NIC) and the other end to the corresponding port on the second device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the locking tab engages. For optimal 10G performance, use compatible 10GBase-T hardware and keep cable runs within recommended length limits. Avoid tight bends and compressions that can deform the cable or compromise shielding. Route the cable away from high-voltage power lines and sources of strong electromagnetic interference when possible.

Recommendations

To maintain performance, test the link after installation using appropriate network testing equipment and ensure grounding practices are followed for shielded cabling. When running multiple shielded cables together, preserve bend radius and avoid kinking to prevent degradation of pair geometry.
