Dexlan networking cable 858708 0.5 m Cat6a S/FTP Yellow

The Dexlan networking cable 858708 0.5 m Cat6a S/FTP Yellow is a short, shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed data connections in professional and home networks. Built to Cat6a specifications with S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors, this 0.5 m cable provides reliable performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth applications while minimizing electromagnetic interference. The yellow jacket makes it easy to identify and organize cables in racks and patch panels.

Advantages

The Cat6a construction supports frequencies up to 500 MHz and is suitable for 10GbE over short runs. S/FTP shielding (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs) reduces crosstalk and external EMI, improving signal integrity in environments with multiple cables or nearby electronic equipment. The molded RJ-45 connectors ensure secure, low-loss terminations and the compact 0.5 m length reduces excess cable and clutter in dense installations. The bright yellow jacket aids in visual cable management and quick identification.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting network equipment in server rooms and data cabinets where short patch connections are needed
• Linking switches, routers, and patch panels in structured cabling setups
• High-speed workstations or network appliances requiring 10 Gigabit Ethernet over a short distance
• Environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cables improve stability
• Color-coded cabling schemes for easy identification and maintenance

How to use

Use this Dexlan Cat6a S/FTP cable to make short patch connections between network ports on switches, patch panels, and devices. Insert the RJ-45 plug fully into the device port until the latch clicks to secure the connection. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius and keep the cable length appropriate for the required data rate. When routing near sources of interference, ensure connectors and shielding are properly seated to retain the cable’s EMI protection.

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10 Gigabit performance, use this short 0.5 m Cat6a S/FTP cable for intra-rack or short inter-equipment links. Maintain good cable management practices—label both ends, avoid kinking, and do not exceed the bend radius—to maximize signal integrity and service life.
