Networking cable LOGON APR6A200Y Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP) Yellow 20 m RJ-45–RJ-45

LOGON APR6A200Y Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP) Yellow 20 m RJ-45–RJ-45 is a 20-metre Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in structured networks. The cable supports Cat6a performance and 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications while combining an overall braided shield with individual foil shields around each twisted pair to reduce electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference. Bright yellow outer jacket improves visibility and identification in patch panels and cable runs.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S‑STP) construction provides enhanced protection against crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded cables, enabling more reliable throughput in environments with multiple cables or nearby electrical equipment. At 20 metres length and with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, this cable is suitable for direct device-to-switch or patch panel connections without additional adapters. The cable uses 26 AWG conductors and low-smoke, halogen-free (LSOH) jacket material for safer deployment in indoor installations.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, servers, and network devices
• Office and data centre patching where shielded cabling is required
• Structured cabling installations needing colour-coded identification
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference from nearby equipment

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individual foil per pair)
• Length: 20 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, straight plug
• Conductor size: 26 AWG, 4 twisted pairs
• Jacket: Low-smoke, halogen-free (LSOH)
• Colour: Yellow
• Suitable for: up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network port of a switch, router or network interface and the other end to the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the locking tab engages and verify link lights on connected equipment. Route the cable to avoid excessive bending, crushing or tight cable ties; maintain separation from high-voltage power lines to preserve shielding effectiveness. For permanent installations, terminate and secure the cable at patch panels or keystone jacks following standard cabling practices.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable when shielded cabling is required to mitigate interference or when colour-coding simplifies maintenance. Do not exceed recommended bend radius (typically four times the cable diameter) and avoid repeated flexing near the connector ends to maintain performance and connector integrity.
