Networking cable LOGON APR6A050R Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) RJ-45 to RJ-45 5 m Red

LOGON APR6A050R Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP) RJ‑45 to RJ‑45 5 m Red is a shielded network patch cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections in structured cabling environments. Compliant with Cat6a specifications, this 5-metre cable supports high-speed data transmission for 10 Gigabit and Gigabit Ethernet links. The S/FTP (screened foil over individually foil‑shielded pairs) construction reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, while durable RJ‑45 connectors on both ends provide a standard interface for switches, routers, network cards and patch panels.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP design improves signal integrity in environments with elevated electromagnetic interference, such as data centres, server rooms and industrial workplaces. Cat6a performance enables stable 10 Gbps throughput over shorter channel lengths and reliable Gigabit operation across typical office distances. The 5 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-desk and equipment-to-patch-panel connections, and the red jacket provides straightforward visual identification in cable runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in wired networks
• Workstation and desktop Ethernet connections requiring shielded cabling
• Small server racks and network equipment interconnects within 5 m
• Environments with potential EMI where improved shielding is needed

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid/foil with individually foil‑shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45, straight male
• Length: 5 metres
• Jacket colour: Red
• Outer jacket: low smoke, halogen‑free (LSOH) construction

How to use

Plug one RJ‑45 connector into the network port of the switch, router or patch panel and insert the other end into the device or workstation NIC. Ensure connectors are fully seated and that any chassis or rack grounding practices for shielded cabling are followed to preserve shielding effectiveness. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force when routing the cable; maintain gentle bend radii and secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within standard Cat6a channel limits and maintain proper grounding for shielded installations. Keep the cable away from high‑power electrical lines and sources of strong EMI when possible. Use the red jacket to mark specific circuits or segments in patch panels and cable management systems.
