Patch cable Cat.6 SF/UTP 500MHz 0.25m gray - brackton

brackton Patch cable Cat.6 SF/UTP 500MHz, 0.25 m in gray is a short, shielded network patch cord engineered for Cat6 installations. The cable combines a foil shield around the overall pair bundle with unshielded twisted pairs, offering improved protection against electromagnetic interference while maintaining flexibility. With a 0.25 m length and RJ45 terminations, this patch cable is intended for short interconnects in racks, patch panels and switch-to-switch connections where space is limited and signal integrity matters.

Advantages

This Cat6 SF/UTP patch cable supports frequencies up to 500 MHz, helping to maintain high data throughput and reliable connections in dense cabling environments. The foiled overall shield reduces susceptibility to external EMI sources, improving performance in installations near power equipment or dense cable bundles. Its short 0.25 m form factor minimizes cable slack, improves airflow in racks and simplifies neat cable management behind switches and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Short interconnects between adjacent patch panel ports
• Switch-to-switch connections in racks and network cabinets
• Neat cabling in data centers, server rooms and network closets
• Environments requiring additional protection from external interference

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6 (Class E) performance level
• Shielding: SF/UTP – foiled overall shield with unshielded twisted pairs
• Frequency range: up to 500 MHz
• Length: 0.25 m (25 cm)
• Color: gray
• Connectors: RJ45 terminated on both ends
• Typical use: patch cord for horizontal and rack cabling

How to use

Plug the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding ports on switches, patch panels or network devices. Use the 0.25 m length for connections where ports are adjacent or when minimizing cable slack is a priority. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and that grounding or bonding practices required for shielded cabling are observed where applicable. Avoid kinking the cable and maintain gentle bends to preserve performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance with SF/UTP patch cords, follow proper grounding and bonding procedures for shielded networks, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep the cable run short to match its intended use. Use this 0.25 m cable for tidy interconnections in racks and patch panels rather than long horizontal runs.
