Network patch cable ICIDU CAT 6a Brackton SF/UTP 0.25 m light grey

ICIDU Brackton CAT 6a SF/UTP patch cable, 0.25 m in light grey, is a short network cable designed for reliable, high‑speed Ethernet connections in rack and structured cabling environments. The cable meets Category 6a performance requirements and includes SF/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short links and for connections between switches, patch panels, and network devices where space is limited.

Advantages

The compact 0.25 m length minimizes excess cable in dense rack installations while preserving Category 6a signal integrity for high bandwidth applications. SF/UTP shielding provides enhanced protection against external noise and crosstalk, improving link stability in environments with multiple nearby cables or electronic equipment. The light grey jacket offers an unobtrusive appearance for organized cabling runs and easy visual identification.

Suitable for

• Short patching between switch ports in racks and cabinets
• Connections between patch panels and switches
• High‑speed links for servers or network appliances over short distances
• Structured cabling where Category 6a performance and shielding are required

Key specifications

• Category: CAT 6a performance for up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short links
• Shielding: SF/UTP (braided shield + overall foil with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 0.25 m suitable for short patch connections
• Jacket color: light grey for neutral appearance and easy identification
• Connector type: RJ45 connectors (8P8C) on both ends for standard Ethernet ports

How to use

Insert RJ45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports of the devices to be connected, ensuring firm seating at both ends. Use this 0.25 m cable for short point‑to‑point links inside racks or between adjacent patch panel ports to reduce cable clutter. Avoid tight bends at the connector boot and do not exceed the recommended bend radius to maintain signal quality. Confirm link speed and duplex settings on connected devices if automated negotiation does not select the expected parameters.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use the cable within structured cabling channels and keep it away from high‑power electrical lines. When installing multiple short patch cables in a rack, route them neatly and label both ends if needed to simplify maintenance. Verify compatibility with existing infrastructure and select shielded ports or chassis components where shielding continuity is required.
