Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP6A-025 Patchcord S/FTP Cat6a 0.25m Gray

The C-TECH CB-PP6A-025 Patchcord S/FTP Cat6a 0.25m in gray is a short patch cable designed for reliable high-speed network connections. Built to Cat6a specifications with S/FTP shielding, this 0.25 meter cable provides reduced interference and consistent signal quality for links between devices where a compact, well-managed connection is required. The gray jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for home and office installations while the construction aims for durability and stable performance in typical networking environments.

Advantages

This Cat6a S/FTP patchcord minimizes crosstalk and electromagnetic interference through foil and braided shielding, supporting higher data rates and improved signal integrity compared with unshielded alternatives. Its short 0.25 m length reduces cable clutter and helps maintain tidy patch panels or desk-level connections. The cable's outer jacket and connector assembly are designed for routine handling and frequent replugging, providing a practical balance of flexibility and mechanical protection.

Suitable for

• Connecting network devices in server rooms, patch panels, and wall outlets where short links are needed
• Desktop or workstation connections to switches and routers in offices
• Home network setups requiring tidy cable management for modems, routers, or networked media devices
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is beneficial, such as near electrical equipment

Key specifications

• Standard: Category 6a (Cat6a)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individual foil shielding)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Color: Gray
• Connector type: 8P8C (RJ45) compatible
• Conductor arrangement: twisted pair

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices, ensuring secure seating at both ends. Use the 0.25 m patchcord for short-distance connections where minimal slack is desired; avoid excessive bending near the connector boots and keep the cable clear of sharp edges. For installations in shielded environments, ensure connectors and connected equipment provide proper grounding to benefit from the S/FTP shielding.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, route the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and maintain bend radii consistent with standard Ethernet cable handling. Use this short Cat6a cable for direct device-to-device links and in patch panels to reduce clutter; verify that connected hardware supports Cat6a speeds to fully utilize the cable's capabilities.
