Patch cable brackton Cat.6 SF/UTP 500MHz 15m grey

brackton Cat.6 SF/UTP 500MHz 15m grey is a shielded patch cable designed for structured cabling and Gigabit Ethernet links. The cable combines a foiled overall shield with unshielded twisted pairs to reduce external electromagnetic interference while maintaining flexibility for installation. With a 500 MHz rating and RJ45 terminations, this 15‑meter grey cable is intended for reliable connections between switches, patch panels, routers and workstations in office and data-centre environments.

Advantages

The SF/UTP construction provides improved protection against electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference compared with unshielded cables, helping to maintain signal integrity over longer horizontal runs. A 500 MHz frequency rating supports high-speed Ethernet standards and leaves margin for bandwidth-intensive applications. The cable's length and flexible sheath simplify routing in racks and conduits without the need for additional couplers, and standard RJ45 connectors ensure compatibility with network equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and patch panels in office and data-centre racks
• Horizontal cabling between wall outlets and network equipment
• Workstation and server connections requiring reduced interference
• Environments with nearby electrical equipment or cabling that can cause noise

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6
• Shielding: SF/UTP (foiled overall shield with UTP pairs)
• Frequency rating: 500 MHz
• Length: 15 m
• Color: Grey
• Connectors: RJ45 terminated
• Applications: Gigabit Ethernet, structured cabling

How to use

Ensure both network ports support the required Ethernet speed and are powered off or inactive before connecting. Plug one RJ45 connector into the network device (switch, router or patch panel) and the other into the endpoint (workstation, server or wall outlet). Route the cable along cable trays or cable management accessories to avoid tight bends and sources of strong electromagnetic fields. For best performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and maintain proper bend radius as specified for Cat.6 cables.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat.6 SF/UTP patch cable for horizontal and inter-rack connections where shielding improves signal reliability. Test connections after installation with appropriate cable testers to verify continuity and performance at the intended data rates.
