Networking Cable Dexlan 858713 10m Cat6a S/FTP Yellow

The Dexlan 858713 10m Cat6a S/FTP Yellow networking cable is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission over 10 metres. Constructed to Cat6a standard with S/FTP (shielded foil around each pair plus overall braid) protection and fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, the cable is intended for installations that require reduced electromagnetic interference and reliable 10 Gigabit-capable performance. The yellow jacket provides easy identification in multi-cable environments and structured cabling systems.

Advantages

The cable's Cat6a specification supports higher bandwidth and improved pair separation compared with lower-category cables, enabling stable connections at higher data rates. S/FTP shielding minimizes crosstalk and external EMI, which is useful in environments with electrical noise or dense cabling. Factory-terminated RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with standard network equipment and make the cable ready for immediate use. The 10 metre length balances reach and signal quality for many office and home networking scenarios.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in office and data center patching
• High-bandwidth workstations, NAS devices, and networked storage
• Structured cabling where color-coding simplifies identification
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference requiring shielded cabling
• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels and wall outlets within 10 m runs

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (augmented Category 6) for up to 10 Gbps over specified distances
• Shielding: S/FTP — foil shield for each twisted pair plus an overall braided shield
• Length: 10 metres
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends, compatible with 8P8C network ports
• Jacket color: Yellow for visual identification
• Typical uses: Patch cord for horizontal and equipment cabling

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network port of your switch, router, patch panel or device and the other end to the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. For best performance, avoid tight bends and kinks; respect the minimum bend radius specified by the cable manufacturer and keep the cable length within recommended limits. If used in shielded installations, ensure both ends are connected to grounded shielded ports or connectors to maintain the effectiveness of the S/FTP shielding.

Usage recommendations

Route the cable away from strong power sources and fluorescent lighting to reduce potential interference. Use color-coded cables like this yellow Dexlan unit to simplify identification in patch panels. For permanent installations, verify connector grounding and follow local cabling standards for installation and testing to confirm performance.
