Patch cable ICIDU Brackton CAT 6a, SF/UTP, 0.5 m, green

ICIDU Brackton CAT 6a patch cable, SF/UTP, 0.5 m in green is a short, shielded Ethernet cable designed for high-speed LAN connections and structured cabling. The cable meets Category 6a performance requirements to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances while providing improved protection against electromagnetic interference through its foil shielding. With a compact 0.5 m length and standardized RJ45 terminations, it is intended for use in dense rack and patch panel environments where reliable, low-latency links are required.

Advantages

This SF/UTP CAT 6a cable reduces crosstalk and external interference thanks to its foil shield, improving signal integrity in congested cabling environments. The short 0.5 m length minimizes excess cabling and helps maintain tidy patch fields in server racks and switch clusters. The cable is color-coded in green to simplify identification and organization of network segments. Standard RJ45 connectors ensure compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and patch panels in server racks
• Short links between networking equipment in data cabinets
• High-speed desktop or workstation uplinks where minimal cable length is required
• Structured cabling installations requiring Category 6a performance

Key specifications

• Category: CAT 6a (Class EA) performance for up to 10 Gbps Ethernet over supported distances
• Shielding: SF/UTP (foil shielding around pairs or overall foil — provides reduced EMI susceptibility)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Conductor type: twisted pair copper conductors
• Color: green for easy identification

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding ports on switches, patch panels or network devices until they click into place. Use the 0.5 m cable to create short, direct links between adjacent rack-mounted devices or to reduce cable clutter on patch panels. Verify link status and speed on connected equipment after installation. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive compression of the cable near the connector ends.

Usage recommendations

Use this short CAT 6a SF/UTP patch cable in high-density rack layouts and patch fields where minimal slack is desired. Keep the cable clear of strong EMI sources such as large power transformers when possible, and route it alongside other structured cabling using cable management to maintain signal integrity and accessibility.
