Network patch cable ICIDU Brackton SF/UTP CAT6a 0.5 m Black

ICIDU Brackton SF/UTP CAT6a patch cable, 0.5 m in black, is designed for short copper connections within Cat6a structured cabling. The cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over a shielded/unsheilded twisted pair architecture, providing a compact link between switches, patch panels and networked devices in server rooms, offices and home networks. The cable terminates in standard RJ45 plugs and is intended for reliable, low-latency local interconnections where a short, high-performance cable is required.

Advantages

The cable combines Cat6a performance with a short 0.5 m length to minimize cable clutter and reduce crosstalk in dense installations. Shielded/Unshielded twisted pair construction helps maintain signal integrity at 10 Gbps distances typical for Cat6a segments. The black jacket offers a neutral appearance for professional racks and workspaces, while RJ45 terminations ensure broad compatibility with common network equipment.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Short connections between switches and patch panels in server rooms
• Direct links between network devices in rack-mounted setups
• Patch cabling in office LANs where space is limited
• Home network connections requiring Cat6a performance for high-speed transfers

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Length: 0.5 m
• Conductor type: copper twisted pairs
• Pair configuration: SF/UTP (shielded foil over individual pairs with overall unshielded jacket)
• Maximum supported link speed: 10 Gbps (over appropriate infrastructure)
• Connector type: RJ45
• Outer jacket colour: black

How to use

Connect one RJ45 termination to the network port of a switch, patch panel or device and the other RJ45 plug to the counterpart port. Use the short 0.5 m length to create tidy connections inside racks or on patch panels, avoiding unnecessary cable loops. Ensure both ends are fully inserted and latched into RJ45 ports; if used in a dense rack, route cables to avoid sharp bends and maintain bend radius as recommended by the cabling standard.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use the cable within Cat6a-compliant installations and avoid running it in parallel with high-power electrical lines. Inspect connectors for secure seating and replace the cable if the jacket or plug shows physical damage. For permanent installations in noisy electromagnetic environments, verify shielding requirements and grounding practices for your rack and patch panel.
