Networking cable LOGON Cat6 SSTP/PIMF 20 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45, Red

LOGON Cat6 SSTP/PIMF networking cable, 20 m, terminated with shielded RJ-45 plugs on both ends, provides a robust physical connection for wired Ethernet networks. Constructed to Cat6 specification with pair-in-metal-foil (PIMF) and overall braided shield (SSTP), this cable is intended for environments where improved electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection and reliable high-speed data transmission are required. The red jacket makes cable identification and tracing in patch panels and cable runs straightforward.

Advantages

The SSTP/PIMF construction combines foil around each twisted pair with a full braid over the assembly, reducing crosstalk and external interference for more stable signals. The cable is specified to 250 MHz and uses 4 x 2 AWG 26/7 twisted pairs with a nominal impedance of 100 Ohm, supporting typical Gigabit Ethernet and other Cat6 applications. Shielded RJ-45 connectors and boots with kink protection and strain relief improve mechanical durability and reduce the risk of connector damage during installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office and server room environments
• Patching and linking network devices in structured cabling installations
• Home networks where improved EMI protection is desirable
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic noise where shielded cabling is preferred

How to use

Use this LOGON Cat6 SSTP/PIMF patch cable to connect network equipment by inserting the shielded RJ-45 plugs into the corresponding shielded ports on switches, routers, or patch panels. Ensure that both ends are fully seated and that connector latches engage. For best shielding performance, connect to devices or panels that provide a proper earth/ground connection for the cable shield. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends; the integrated boot and strain relief reduce stress at the connector but do not replace careful cable management.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, maintain bend radius greater than four times the cable diameter, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines, and terminate into shielded RJ-45 ports or grounded patch panels to preserve the effectiveness of the SSTP/PIMF shielding. Verify Cat6 channel compliance when used in certified channel links.
