Networking Cable VALUE 0.5m Red RJ-45 Cat6a S/FTP

VALUE 0.5m Red RJ-45 Cat6a S/FTP is a shielded patch cable for networking connections between devices. The prepared PiMF (pairs in metal foil) twisted-pair construction with additional braided overall shielding provides an impedance of 100 Ohm and supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s with a bandwidth of 500 MHz. The cable is 0.5 m long, finished with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a moulded kink protection for improved durability and flexible routing.

Advantages

The S/FTP design with foil‑shielded pairs and a complete braided shield reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring stable high-speed transmission up to Cat6a performance. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs enhance contact reliability, while the moulded kink protection and flexible sheath make the cable suitable for narrow bends and tight installations. The product is available in a red colour for easy visual identification in dense cable environments.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet connections up to 10 Gbit/s (10GBase-T)
• Short patch runs between switches, routers and servers (0.5 m length)
• Environments requiring reduced EMI and crosstalk (shielded applications)

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Standard: Cat6a, 10GBase-T
• Topology / construction: 8 conductors, PiMF pairs, S/FTP (foil‑shielded pairs + braided overall shield)
• Impedance: 100 Ohm
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts, contact setting 1:1 (EIA/TIA 568)
• Bandwidth: 500 MHz
• Colour: Red

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of your device and the other plug to the corresponding port on the switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click. Use the cable for short patching runs where a 0.5 m length is sufficient; avoid excessive pulling or twisting during installation. The shielded design requires correct routing and grounding in shielded installations when connecting to shielded ports or chassis.

Recommendations

For optimal performance at 10 Gbit/s, use the cable for short connections between shielded ports and maintain proper grounding of the network equipment’s shielding. Avoid sharp bends beyond the cable’s bend radius and secure cables to prevent strain on the moulded connectors.
