Networking cable LOGON APR6A005I Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP) RJ‑45 to RJ‑45 0.5 m Ivory

LOGON APR6A005I Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP) RJ‑45 to RJ‑45 0.5 m Ivory is a short patch cable designed for high‑performance Ethernet connections. With Cat6a specification and S/FTP shielding, this 0.5‑metre cable provides reliable data transfer rates for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances while minimising crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. The cable features straight RJ‑45 male connectors on both ends and a compact length suited for neat rack and desktop patching where space is limited.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S‑STP) construction combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs to reduce external interference and pair‑to‑pair crosstalk, improving signal integrity in congested cabling environments. The Cat6a rating supports higher bandwidth and better alien crosstalk performance compared to lower category cables, ensuring compatibility with modern networking equipment. Its 0.5 m length minimises excess cable in patching scenarios, keeping racks and workstations tidy and reducing signal degradation risks associated with long, loosely managed leads.

Suitable for

• Short patching between switches, patch panels and routers in server rooms and telecom cabinets
• Desktop connections between network ports and nearby devices such as PCs, IP phones or access points
• High‑density rack installations where short interconnects are needed to maintain cable management
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Connector ends: RJ‑45 straight male to RJ‑45 straight male
• Length: 0.5 m
• Color: Ivory
• Designed for: up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 end to the network port of a switch, patch panel or router and the other RJ‑45 end to the corresponding device port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use the 0.5 m cable for short interconnects to avoid clutter and maintain signal performance; avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and keep it clear of heavy power cables to reduce potential interference.

Recommendations

For best results, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable in shielded or grounded installations when possible, and follow standard cable management practices: avoid excessive bends, do not stretch the cable, and keep connections clean and dry. Verify that connected equipment supports Cat6a performance for optimal throughput.
