Networking Cable Dexlan 858722 0.5m Cat6a S/FTP Blue

The Dexlan 858722 0.5m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors is a short patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in local networks. Constructed to Cat6a standards and incorporating S/FTP shielding, it reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk while supporting higher bandwidths and stable connections over short distances. The cable's 0.5 meter length makes it suitable for connecting equipment in patch panels, network switches, routers, and desktop devices where a compact, reliable link is required.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combines an overall braided shield with individual foil shields around each twisted pair, improving resistance to external interference and minimizing pair-to-pair crosstalk. Compliance with Cat6a performance characteristics allows the cable to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short runs. The RJ-45 plugs provide universal compatibility with standard networking ports, and the short 0.5m length helps reduce cable clutter and signal degradation that can occur with longer patch leads.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches and servers in rack environments
• Connecting routers, desktop PCs, and network appliances on workstations
• High-density wiring closets where short, shielded links are required
• Applications requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and stable Gigabit/10GbE links

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a (augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall braided shield plus foil-shielded twisted pairs
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 0.5 m
• Color: Blue
• Suitable for frequencies up to 500 MHz (Cat6a standard performance)

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port until it clicks, ensuring secure contact. Use the 0.5m Cat6a S/FTP cable to create short, direct connections between compatible devices such as switches, patch panels, routers, and workstations. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable; maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. When routing near sources of strong interference, orient and secure the cable to minimize exposure to electrical noise.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short runs within racks or between adjacent devices; verify network equipment supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet if that bandwidth is required. When installing multiple shielded cables, ensure proper grounding of equipment and shields to achieve full EMI protection.
