Network cable GEMBIRD Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) PP6A-LSZHCU-BK-2M, 2 m, RJ-45, black

GEMBIRD Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) PP6A-LSZHCU-BK-2M is a 2 m black patch cable with RJ-45 connectors engineered for Cat6a-class Ethernet links. The cable combines foil-wrapped twisted pairs and an overall braided shield to minimise electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, while gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic fumes in case of fire and the moulded strain reliefs with snagless boots protect connector ends and ease installation in racks, patch panels and network equipment.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S-STP) construction delivers superior protection against external interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk compared with unshielded cables, supporting high-speed data transfer consistent with Cat6a performance. Gold-plated contacts provide low contact resistance and long-term reliability. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket improves safety in enclosed spaces, and the moulded strain reliefs plus snagless boots reduce mechanical stress at connector interfaces and prevent accidental tab breakage during repeated patching.

Suitable for

• LAN patching between wall outlets, patch panels and switches
• Connections between servers and network switches
• High-speed Ethernet links up to Cat6a environments (10 Gbps over suitable infrastructure)
• Office and home networks where reduced electromagnetic interference is required

Key specifications

How to use

Insert RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding ports on network devices until the connector latch clicks into place. Use the cable to connect patch panels, switches, routers or network interface cards according to your network design. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid running it parallel and close to power cables to maintain signal integrity. For installations in cabinets or dense patching environments, the snagless boot eases insertion and prevents the locking tab from catching on adjacent cables.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short to medium-length patching within racks or between nearby network equipment. For full 10 Gbps performance, ensure the connected devices and infrastructure support Cat6a specifications and maintain proper installation practices—avoid excessive bending, kinking, and physical stress on the connectors.
