Dexlan Networking Cable 2m Cat6a S/FTP Yellow 858710

The Dexlan Networking Cable 2m Cat6a S/FTP Yellow 858710 is a 2-meter network patch cable built to the Cat6a performance standard with S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors. It supports high-speed data transmission for wired Ethernet connections and is suitable for installations where improved interference protection and gigabit-plus throughput are required. The cable’s yellow jacket provides clear visual identification within patch panels, racks, or mixed-cable environments.

Advantages

S/FTP construction combines an overall braid shield with foil-shielded twisted pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity in environments with multiple adjacent cables or electronic equipment. The Cat6a class supports frequencies up to 500 MHz, enabling stable performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short to medium distances. The factory-fitted RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure compatibility with common networking equipment and simplify deployment.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centers and server rooms
• Wired LAN links between switches, routers, and network interface cards
• Structured cabling in offices and telecommunications closets
• Environments with potential EMI where shielded cable is preferred

Key specifications

• Length: 2 meters
• Category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Frequency rating: up to 500 MHz
• Conductor type: twisted pair copper conductors
• Cable jacket color: yellow

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network port of a switch, router, patch panel or network device and the other connector to the corresponding port on the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. Route the cable to avoid excessive bending, sharp edges, or tight bundling that could damage the shielding or affect performance. For installation in racks or pathways, secure the cable using appropriate management accessories without crushing the cable.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within recommended length limits for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and avoid running parallel to mains power cables for extended distances. When deploying in high-density or high-EMI environments, verify that both ends of the link are properly grounded if required by your infrastructure. Color-coding with the yellow jacket can help maintain organized cabling and simplify future changes.
