Patch cable brackton Cat.6 SF/UTP 500MHz 2 m blue

brackton Cat.6 SF/UTP 500MHz patch cable, 2 m, blue is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for structured cabling and high-speed network links. The SF/UTP construction uses an overall braided shield combined with individually paired foil to reduce electromagnetic interference, while the cable supports frequencies up to 500 MHz. Terminated with standard RJ45 connectors, this 2 metre patch lead is suitable for connecting switches, routers, patch panels and workstations in office or data centre environments.

Advantages

The shielded SF/UTP design improves noise immunity in environments with potential electromagnetic disturbance, helping maintain signal integrity for Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed protocols. With a 2 m length and compact blue jacket, the cable provides a tidy connection between network equipment without excess slack. Standard RJ45 terminations ensure compatibility with existing network ports and patching infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet links between switches, routers and servers
• Structured cabling and patch panels in offices and server rooms
• Environments with increased electromagnetic interference or adjacent power cabling
• Short runs between workstations and wall outlets

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6
• Shielding: SF/UTP (overall braided shield with individually shielded pairs)
• Bandwidth: up to 500 MHz
• Length: 2 m
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Colour: blue

How to use

Connect one RJ45 termination to the network port on your switch, router, patch panel or workstation and the other end to the corresponding device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong interference; maintain appropriate bend radius and avoid crushing. For permanent installations, use cable management accessories such as patch cords organisers or cable ties to keep runs neat and reduce strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this cable for horizontal patching and short interconnects within racks or between nearby devices. Avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines for extended distances; where crossing is necessary, do so at a 90° angle. Verify link speed and duplex settings on connected equipment to ensure Gigabit operation.
