Networking cable LOGON APR6A200R Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP) Red 20 m RJ‑45–RJ‑45

LOGON APR6A200R Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP) Red 20 m RJ‑45–RJ‑45 is a 20-metre patch cable designed to deliver Cat6a performance for high-speed Ethernet connections. The cable features individually foil-shielded pairs and an overall braided shield to minimise crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, while RJ‑45 connectors on both ends provide standard, compatible terminations for network switches, patch panels and endpoints. The red outer sheath makes the cable easy to identify in cabling racks and workspaces.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S‑STP) construction offers improved protection against alien crosstalk and external EMI compared with unshielded cables, supporting stable 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over short to medium distances. The 20 m length accommodates typical office or data centre runs without the need for intermediate patch points. Standard RJ‑45 connectors ensure plug-and-play compatibility with common network equipment, and the coloured sheath simplifies cable management and fault finding.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed LAN connections in offices and server rooms
• Patch panel to switch connections and horizontal workstation cabling
• Environments where EMI reduction and reduced crosstalk are required
• Colour-coded cable management and quick identification in racks and cabinets

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (individually foil-shielded pairs with overall braided shield)
• Connector type: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45, straight male on both ends
• Length: 20 metres
• Outer sheath colour: red
• Jacket material: low smoke, zero halogen (LSOH) construction

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 end to the network port of a switch, router or patch panel and the other end to the device or wall outlet. Avoid sharp bends and kinks in the cable; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for Ethernet cabling to preserve signal integrity. Ensure shielded terminations and grounded equipment where required to obtain full EMI protection from the S/FTP construction.

Recommendations

For best performance in shielded installations, connect cable shields to properly grounded patch panels or chassis and avoid running the cable in close parallel to high-power electrical lines. Use the red colour to mark critical links or specific network segments for faster maintenance and troubleshooting.
