Networking Cable S/CONN Green Cat6a S/FTP 0.5m

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN Green Cat6a S/FTP 0.5m is a short patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections that require reliable shielding and compact cable length. It uses Cat6a specification and S/FTP (shielded foiled twisted pair) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in dense or electrically noisy environments. The cable is fitted with standard RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to maintain consistent signal transfer and resist corrosion. Its 0.5 m length and green jacket make it convenient for neat, visible connections in both home and office network racks, patch panels, and desktop setups.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding provides improved protection against external interference compared with unshielded cables, helping to preserve signal integrity at higher frequencies. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts deliver reliable contact conductivity and reduced risk of oxidation over time. The short 0.5 m length minimizes excess cable clutter and signal attenuation for short-distance links. The cable's flexible jacket and standardized connectors support easy installation in patch panels, switches, and network devices.

Suitable for

• Short-distance patch connections between switches, patch panels and network outlets
• Desktop or rack-mounted equipment where space and cable management are important
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference, such as near power supplies or dense cabling
• Home and office wired Ethernet networks requiring Cat6a performance

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid plus foil-wrapped twisted pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Length: 0.5 m
• Color: green jacket
• Suitable frequency range: up to 500 MHz (Cat6a performance)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of your switch, patch panel, router or network device and insert the other plug into the corresponding port on the paired device. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. Route the 0.5 m cable to avoid sharp bends and avoid running it in parallel with high-voltage power lines over long distances. For optimal performance, use this cable for direct patching or short links within structured cabling systems.

Recommendations

For best results, use the cable in short-distance connections within racks or between adjacent devices. Avoid excessive bending near the connector boots and keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic noise. When installing in shielded environments, ensure connectors and device ports provide proper grounding to maintain the effectiveness of the S/FTP shielding.
