Networking Cable Helos S/FTP (PIMF) CAT 6a 7.5m

The Helos S/FTP (PIMF) CAT 6a networking cable is a 7.5 meter patch lead designed for high-performance wired networks. Rated for 10GBase-T operation, this cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and uses RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Its S/FTP (shielded foil with individually shielded pairs / PIMF) construction reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, making it suitable for stable connections in offices, data closets and structured cabling installations. The cable is finished in yellow for clear visual identification.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding provides improved protection against external electromagnetic interference and minimizes pair-to-pair crosstalk, supporting reliable high-speed data transmission. The CAT 6a specification ensures full 10GBase-T compatibility up to typical short-to-medium distances, while factory-terminated RJ-45 connectors allow immediate plug-and-play installation. The 7.5 m length offers flexibility for connecting devices across racks, desks and network equipment without additional couplers.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office and server-room environments
• High-speed desktop or workstation connections requiring 10 Gbit/s capability
• Structured cabling where reduced interference and clear cable identification are needed
• Temporary or permanent patching between network equipment at distances up to 7.5 m

Key specifications

• Cabling standard: CAT 6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid and foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Supported data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Length: 7.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Application: 10GBase-T compatible
• Colour: Yellow

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into the corresponding port on a switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, tight loops and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; maintain gentle bend radii consistent with structured cabling practice. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate cable management accessories without compressing the jacket or shielding.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this CAT 6a S/FTP cable in environments where interference may be present or where 10GBase-T speeds are required. Avoid running parallel to mains power lines and keep a short separation from large power transformers or noisy equipment. Inspect connectors for debris before insertion and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show physical damage.
