Dexlan Networking Cable Red 5 m Cat6a S/FTP RJ-45

The Dexlan Networking Cable Red 5 m Cat6a S/FTP RJ-45 is a 5-meter Ethernet patch cable designed to support high-speed wired connections. Meeting the Cat6a standard and featuring S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) construction, this cable is intended to provide stable data transmission with reduced electromagnetic interference. The cable terminates in standard RJ-45 connectors and comes in a red jacket for easy identification in patch panels, racks, or desktop environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs to minimize crosstalk and external interference, which helps maintain signal integrity at higher frequencies. As a Cat6a cable, it supports higher bandwidths and data rates compared with lower-category cables, suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short to mid-range distances. The 5 m length offers flexibility for common desk-to-switch and patch panel connections while the red color simplifies cable management by providing clear visual identification.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections within offices, server rooms, and home networks
• Connections between switches, patch panels, and network devices in structured cabling
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and improved signal stability
• Color-coded cabling systems for easy identification and troubleshooting

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall foil shield with individually shielded twisted pairs
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Length: 5 meters
• Jacket color: Red
• Use case bandwidth: Suitable for up to 10 Gbps Ethernet over recommended distances for Cat6a

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device, such as a switch, router, or network interface card, and the other into the corresponding port on your computer, patch panel, or another network device. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it away from high-power electrical lines where possible to reduce potential interference. For structured installations, use appropriate cable management accessories to secure and separate different cable types.

Usage recommendations

Use the Dexlan Cat6a S/FTP cable where higher bandwidth and reduced interference are required. For optimal performance, avoid exceeding recommended bend radii, maintain proper connector seating, and separate the cable from strong sources of electromagnetic noise. Use color-coding to streamline maintenance and troubleshooting in multi-cable installations.
