Networking Cable Renkforce RF-4149858 0.25m Cat6a S/FTP Grey

The Renkforce RF-4149858 0.25m Cat6a S/FTP Grey is a short, high-performance Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable wired network connections. This 0.25 metre Cat6a cable uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, and is terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends for broad compatibility with switches, routers, network adapters and other Ethernet-equipped devices. The cable's compact length is ideal for tidy installations where devices are close together, and the grey jacket provides a neutral, unobtrusive appearance.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction combines an overall foil shield with individually braided shields around each pair, which improves protection against crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded cables. As a Cat6a-rated cable, it supports higher bandwidths and reduced alien crosstalk, making it suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet at short distances. RJ-45 connectors ensure plug-and-play compatibility with standard Ethernet ports and the short length minimizes signal attenuation and cable clutter in rack or desktop environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, patch panels and routers in rack cabinets or small network closets
• Linking desktop PCs, NAS devices and media players positioned close to network outlets
• Patch connections in data centres or telecom closets where short, shielded links are required
• High-speed home networks and office workstations requiring reduced interference

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individual braided shields per pair)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Color: Grey
• Supported applications: Up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet at appropriate distances

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of the device until the latch clicks, then connect the other end to a compatible network port on a switch, router or access point. For best signal integrity, avoid sharp bends and excessive twisting of the cable and keep it clear of strong electromagnetic sources such as large transformers or unshielded power cables. The short 0.25 m length is intended for direct, tidy connections between adjacent devices or patch panel ports.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable in environments where reduced interference and short, high-bandwidth links are needed. For permanent installations in high-interference areas, ensure proper grounding of shielded network equipment and maintain recommended bend radii to preserve cable performance.
