PATCHBOX C60STPXC6AX31Y networking cable Yellow 2.5 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP)

PATCHBOX® Cat6a U/FTP (STP) patch cable, 2.5 m, with RJ‑45 connectors on both ends and gold‑plated contacts. The cable is shielded (U/FTP) and fitted with a yellow jacket, designed for reliable 10 Gb/s Ethernet connections where reduced electromagnetic interference and stable performance are required in data centers, office networks and professional installations.

Advantages

The U/FTP (STP) construction provides improved protection against external electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables. Cat6a performance supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and is PoE capable, while gold‑plated RJ‑45 contacts ensure low contact resistance and reliable signal transfer. The 2.5 m length offers a balance between flexibility and neat cable routing in racks and patch panels.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections
• Data centers and server racks
• Office network patching and horizontal cabling
• Installations requiring reduced EMI or shielded cabling

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 plug to the network device or patch panel port and the other RJ‑45 plug to the corresponding switch, router or outlet. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. For optimal performance in shielded installations, bond the cable shield to the patch panel or chassis ground according to your site's grounding practice. Avoid sharp bends and keep the cable within recommended bend radius to maintain transmission characteristics.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6a U/FTP cable in environments with potential electromagnetic interference or where 10 Gb/s performance is required. Combine with compatible PATCHBOX® cassettes and frames for modular cabinet management, and ensure proper grounding of shielded components for best results.
