Network patch cable EASYLAN Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) RJ45 — 2 m, black

EASYLAN Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) RJ45 patch cable, 2 m with a black LSOH jacket, designed for Ethernet connections up to 10 Gbps. The cable uses Cat6a/Class EA specification and S/FTP shielding to minimise crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, providing stable links between switches, routers, patch panels and workstations in office and data cabinet environments.

Advantages

The cable combines Cat6a performance with S/FTP (screened foil over individually screened pairs) construction for improved noise immunity and consistent high-speed data transfer. RJ45 male connectors on both ends ensure compatibility with standard network ports, while the LSOH outer jacket reduces harmful smoke and toxic gases in case of fire. At 2 metres, the length is convenient for short runs in racks and desktop setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in server rooms or data cabinets
• Wiring workstations and office PCs to network outlets
• High-speed Ethernet links up to 10 Gbps for local networks

When it may not be suitable

This 2 m patch cable is intended for short, fixed connections; it may not be suitable where longer cable runs are required between distant rooms or buildings. It is a copper Ethernet patch cable and therefore not intended as a replacement for fibre-optic links where optical transceivers or very long-distance, carrier-grade links are needed.

Key specifications

• Length: 2 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 male — both ends
• Cable category: Cat6a / Class EA
• Shielding: S/FTP (foil overall with individually shielded pairs)
• Supported speeds: up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 Gbps), backward compatible with Gigabit and Fast Ethernet
• Jacket: LSOH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Colour: Black

How to use

Plug each RJ45 male connector into the corresponding RJ45 network ports on devices such as switches, routers, patch panels or network interfaces on PCs. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. For best performance, avoid sharp bends, excessive twisting or kinking of the cable and keep it separated from strong sources of electromagnetic interference where possible.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and possible need for longer runs
• Whether Cat6a shielding (S/FTP) is necessary for the installation environment
• Compatibility with existing network hardware and port types
• Fire-safety requirements where LSOH jacket is preferred

Usage recommendations

For optimal 10 Gbps performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP patch cable for short connections within racks and between nearby equipment, maintain proper cable routing and avoid tight bends or parallel runs alongside high-power electrical cables.
