Patch cable ICIDU Brackton SF/UTP CAT6a 0.25 m, green

The ICIDU Brackton SF/UTP CAT6a patch cable in green is a shielded foiled/unshielded twisted pair cable designed for short interconnections in structured networks. With a compact 0.25 m length it is intended for close-range connections between switches, patch panels, routers and network interfaces where space is limited. The cable supports data transmission up to 10 Gbps and frequencies up to 500 MHz, meeting the performance expectations of CAT6a installations in data center, office and residential environments.

Advantages

The SF/UTP design combines a foil shield around the pair group with unshielded individual pairs, improving protection against external electromagnetic interference while maintaining flexibility in tight routing. The CAT6a specification ensures higher bandwidth and signal integrity at up to 10 Gbps. The 0.25 m length reduces cable clutter in patch panels and rack-mounted equipment. A molded connector and compact jacket provide reliable mechanical connection and easy handling during installation and rearrangement.

Suitable for

• Short connections between switches and patch panels in racks
• Direct device-to-device links in network cabinets and server rooms
• Compact office desk setups and home network connections

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6a (augmented performance for 10 Gbps)
• Cabling type: SF/UTP (shielded foil around overall pairs, unshielded pairs)
• Nominal length: 0.25 m
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbps
• Frequency range: up to 500 MHz
• Connector type: RJ45 connectors (shielded where applicable)
• Color: green

How to use

Connect one RJ45 connector to the network device (switch, router or NIC) and the other connector to the patch panel, switch port or device interface. Ensure that connectors are fully inserted and latched to establish a reliable electrical contact. Because the cable is short, plan port placements to avoid strain on connectors; avoid sharp bends and keep the cable free from tight clamping points to preserve shielding and conductor performance.

Usage recommendations

Use this 0.25 m CAT6a SF/UTP patch cable for short, high‑speed links where cable management and reduced crosstalk are important. For longer runs, choose appropriately rated horizontal or backbone cabling to maintain 10 Gbps performance. When deploying in mixed-shielding environments, ensure proper grounding of shielded equipment to realize the shielding benefits.
