Network cable EASYLAN Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP) Red 1 m — RJ‑45 to RJ‑45, 10 Gbps, gold contacts

EASYLAN Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP) Red 1 m is a shielded RJ‑45 to RJ‑45 network patch cable designed for short connections in offices, server rooms and data centres. With a 1 metre length and 10 Gbps (10000 Mbit/s) capability, the cable supports high‑speed LAN links between switches, servers and workstations. The construction uses pair‑individually foil‑shielded twisted pairs plus an overall braided shield and 360° shielded RJ‑45 plugs with gold‑plated contacts to reduce electromagnetic interference and preserve signal integrity.

Advantages

The combined S/FTP (S‑STP) shielding and fully shielded connectors provide robust protection against crosstalk and external noise, improving transmission stability for 10 Gbps applications. Gold‑plated contacts ensure reliable contact resistance and corrosion resistance over repeated insertions. The VarioBoot design of the plug offers adjustable outlet orientation (straight, 45° or 90°) to adapt cable routing in dense rack or office installations. The red jacket enables visual identification of specific links or VLAN segments.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches and servers in data centres
• High‑speed LAN connections in offices and meeting rooms
• Point‑to‑point links in network cabinets and racks
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) connections for PoE‑capable devices

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45, 360° shielded plugs
• Contacts: Gold‑plated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Length: 1 m
• Data rate: up to 10 000 Mbit/s (10 Gbps)
• Colour: Red
• Assignment: 1:1 wiring (straight through)
• PoE: suitable for Power over Ethernet applications

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 plug to the network port of a switch, router or server and the other plug to the target device or patch panel. Ensure both ends are fully inserted until the plug latch clicks. Choose the VarioBoot outlet orientation before final installation by removing and repositioning the grommet to obtain a straight, 45° or 90° exit as required by the rack or workspace layout. Maintain bend radii appropriate for Cat6a cables and avoid tight kinks to preserve performance.

Usage recommendations

Use this EASYLAN Cat6a S/FTP cable for short, high‑speed connections where shielding and visual identification are required. Avoid running the cable in close parallel with mains power lines and keep patch lengths within recommended limits for Cat6a to ensure stable 10 Gbps performance.
