Networking Cable Dexlan 858644 2m Cat7 S/FTP Grey

The Dexlan 2m Cat7 S/FTP networking cable combines a compact 2-metre length with Category 7 performance and S/FTP shielding to deliver stable, high-speed connections. Fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, the grey cable is compatible with a wide range of network devices including routers, switches, modems and network interface cards. Supporting bandwidths up to 600 MHz, this cable is intended for environments where reduced electromagnetic interference and reliable data transfer are required.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding provides individual foil around each twisted pair plus an overall braided shield, which reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference for improved signal integrity. The Cat7 specification supports higher frequencies than earlier Ethernet categories, enabling consistent throughput for demanding applications. A standard RJ-45 termination ensures plug-and-play compatibility with common networking equipment, while the 2-metre length offers a practical balance between reach and cable management.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• High-speed internet connections between modem/router and a workstation or switch
• Local area network (LAN) links in home or small office setups
• Connecting networked devices such as NAS, gaming consoles, and smart TVs
• Short-run structured cabling where reduced interference and higher bandwidth are desired

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat7
• Shielding type: S/FTP (overall braided shield with individual foil for pairs)
• Length: 2 metres
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Color: Grey
• Supported bandwidth: up to 600 MHz

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port of your devices until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the 2m cable to connect a router to a switch, a switch to a workstation, or directly to networked devices for reliable wired communication. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension along the cable run; maintain gentle curves and secure the cable with appropriate clips or cable ties to prevent strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, route the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as transformers, unshielded power lines or large motors. Ensure that connected devices support the required network speeds and that terminations are fully seated. For installations requiring longer runs or in-wall routing, consider verifying local cabling regulations and choosing appropriate in-wall rated alternatives.
