Patch cable ICIDU Brackton SF/UTP CAT6a 0.5 m Blue

The ICIDU Brackton SF/UTP CAT6a patch cable, 0.5 m in blue, is a short network interconnect designed to support high-speed Ethernet links. Constructed to meet CAT6a performance, the cable provides shielding for improved noise immunity and is intended for reliable connections between switches, patch panels and network devices in both office and home environments.

Advantages

The SF/UTP construction combines overall foil shielding with unshielded twisted pairs to reduce external electromagnetic interference while keeping flexibility for tight cable runs. Its CAT6a specification supports high bandwidth and 10 Gbps Ethernet over short distances, ensuring stable data transmission for demanding network applications. The 0.5 m length minimises cable clutter in patch cabinets and desktop setups, and the blue jacket allows for clear visual identification within cabling infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Short connections between switches and patch panels in server rooms and wiring closets
• Direct device-to-switch links in office desks or home network installations
• High-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within rack-mounted systems over short runs

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6a performance for elevated bandwidth and 10 Gbps support
• Shielding: SF/UTP — overall foil shield with unshielded twisted pairs
• Length: 0.5 m suitable for short patching distances
• Connector type: standard RJ45 terminated on both ends
• Colour: blue for easy identification in structured cabling

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding ports on network devices, switches or patch panels until they click into place. Use the cable for short patching runs, avoiding excessive bending or kinking at the connector ends to maintain signal integrity. For best performance, ensure both ends are fully seated and that connected equipment supports CAT6a or higher signalling for 10 Gbps operation.

Usage recommendations

Route the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference and avoid running it parallel to power cables for extended distances. Use this 0.5 m CAT6a SF/UTP patch cable for tidy short connections inside racks, on patch panels or between closely positioned devices to maintain organised cabling and optimal network performance.
