Patch cable helos 75512-SL U/FTP CAT6A Slim, 2.0 m

Patch cable helos 75512-SL U/FTP CAT6A Slim, 2.0 m is a slim-profile Ethernet patch lead designed for high-speed data transmission in dense cabling environments. The cable uses individually screened twisted pairs (U/FTP) to minimise electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. With a 2.0 m length and reduced diameter, this slim CAT6A cable is intended for short connections between patch panels, switches, and workstations where space-saving routing and organised cable management are important.

Advantages

The U/FTP construction provides improved protection against crosstalk and external EMI compared with unscreened cables, supporting reliable high-speed links. The slim outer jacket reduces bulk in patch fields and allows more cables to be routed through trays and ducts without sacrificing performance. The cable is suitable for use in structured cabling systems and server room patching where consistent 10 Gbps performance and low insertion loss are required.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, patch panels and servers
• Office workstations and desktop networking requiring compact routing
• Server rooms and data centre patch fields with high cable density
• Structured cabling installations where EMI protection is desired

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6A
• Screening: U/FTP (individually shielded twisted pairs with overall unshielded jacket)
• Length: 2.0 m
• Performance: suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Form factor: slim profile for reduced diameter and space-saving routing
• Typical use: patch lead for short-distance connections in patch panels and racks

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network device (switch, router or server) and the other end to the corresponding patch panel port or workstation socket. Ensure connectors are fully seated to maintain optimal contact and signal performance. Route the cable through cable management trays or ties, avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible. For best results, use this cable for short to medium patching distances within the same rack or between adjacent racks.

Recommendations

Use the slim CAT6A patch cable in high-density patch fields to maximise available space while retaining 10 Gbps performance. Avoid tight radius bends and keep the cable separated from large power cables to reduce potential EMI impact. For permanent horizontal runs or outdoor use, select a purpose-designed permanent link cable instead of a slim patch lead.
