Networking cable Gembird Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) 1 m, RJ-45–RJ-45, green

Gembird Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP) networking cable, 1 m length with RJ‑45 connectors on both ends. This shielded Cat6a patch cord combines foil‑shielded twisted pairs and an overall braided shield to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity for high‑speed Ethernet links. The cable features gold‑plated contacts, molded strain reliefs and snagless boots for reliable connector performance. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket reduces hazardous fumes in case of fire, making it suitable for indoor environments where safety is a concern.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S‑STP) construction provides improved protection against crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables, helping to preserve bandwidth and reduce errors on 10 Gigabit and lower Ethernet links over short runs. Gold‑plated RJ‑45 contacts ensure consistent conductivity and corrosion resistance, while molded strain reliefs and snagless boots protect the connector and cable transition from mechanical stress. The LSZH jacket minimizes toxic smoke and corrosive gases, meeting safety requirements for many installations.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, routers and patch panels in offices and homes
• Connecting network interface cards (NICs) to local network equipment
• High‑density racks and cable management where snagless boots help prevent catches
• Indoor installations that require reduced smoke and halogen emissions

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP) shielded twisted pair
• Length: 1 m
• Connectors: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45 with gold‑plated contacts
• Conductor arrangement: foil‑shielded pairs with braided overall shield
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)

How to use

Plug one RJ‑45 connector into the network port of a switch, router or network interface card and insert the other RJ‑45 connector into the corresponding port of the destination device or patch panel. Ensure connectors click into place for a secure connection. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid running it parallel to high‑voltage power lines to minimize interference. For rack installations, use cable management panels or ties to maintain orderly runs and prevent strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this 1 m Cat6a S/FTP cable for short, high‑quality Ethernet links where shielding and low‑smoke jacket materials are required. Do not exceed recommended bending radii, and avoid repeated flexing at the connector strain relief to maintain performance and service life.
