Dexlan networking cable 858369 20m Cat6a S/FTP White

The Dexlan networking cable 858369 20m Cat6a S/FTP White is a 20-metre Ethernet cable built to Cat6a specification with S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) construction and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. It is intended for reliable high-speed wired connections in home, office, or data-center environments where Gigabit and 10 Gigabit performance is required over a longer run. The white jacket offers a neutral appearance suited to visible installations along walls, skirting boards, or office furniture.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting stable data transmission in environments with adjacent power lines or multiple network runs. Cat6a specification ensures support for up to 10 Gbps Ethernet over suitable infrastructure, and the 20 m length covers medium-distance connections without the need for additional patch panels. RJ-45 terminations on both ends provide compatibility with standard network ports and switching equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, and patch panels in offices or server rooms
• High-speed wired connections for desktops, NAS devices, and media players
• Structured cabling runs behind workstations or along walls for clean visible routing

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a (Augmented Category 6)
• Shielding type: S/FTP (overall braided shield with individually foiled pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 plug on both ends
• Length: 20 metres
• Color: White
• Supported bandwidth: up to 500 MHz (Cat6a typical performance)
• Data rates: supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet over supported distances
• Conductor: twisted pair copper

How to use

Route the cable between network devices keeping bends gentle and avoiding tight kinks. Plug the RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the corresponding port on the switch, router, or wall outlet. For optimal shielding performance, avoid running the cable in parallel and in close proximity to unshielded power cables; where possible, maintain separation or cross at right angles. Use the 20 m length to reach distant devices without intermediate extenders or repeaters when within specification limits.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, terminate both ends into properly grounded shielded connectors or shielded patch panels to preserve the S/FTP shielding effectiveness. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and avoid sharp bends or crushing forces during cable routing. If the installation requires external or outdoor exposure, choose a cable rated for that environment instead of indoor-rated jacket types.
