ICIDU patch cable CAT 6a Brackton SF/UTP 0.5 m, yellow

ICIDU patch cable CAT 6a Brackton SF/UTP 0.5 m in yellow is a short, shielded/unshielded hybrid Ethernet cable engineered to deliver CAT 6a performance for high‑speed network links. With a compact 0.5 m length it is intended for close‑range connections in racks, between switches, patch panels and devices where reduced cable slack improves neatness and airflow. The cable construction supports frequencies and data rates associated with CAT 6a installations while the yellow jacket provides clear visual identification in structured cabling environments.

Advantages

The SF/UTP design combines a foil shield with an unshielded pair structure to reduce external interference while maintaining flexibility for tight routing. At 0.5 m length the patch cable minimizes excess cable management and helps maintain tidy rack and desk installations. The standardized RJ45 terminations ensure compatibility with common network equipment and the bright yellow color makes tracing and labeling in multi‑cable bundles straightforward.

Suitable for

• Short connections between patch panels and switches in data cabinets
• Direct device connections in dense rack environments
• Desk‑side network links where minimal cable length is required
• Structured cabling installations that require color‑coded identification

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT 6a performance
• Construction: SF/UTP (foil shield with unshielded pairs)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated
• Color: yellow
• Suitable frequency range: up to CAT 6a standard frequencies

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding ports on switches, patch panels or network devices until the latch clicks. Use the 0.5 m length for close connections to avoid excess slack; if using multiple patch cables, route them along cable management channels or tie points to preserve airflow and access. Ensure connectors are fully seated and test the link with appropriate network test equipment to confirm signal integrity and link speed.

Usage recommendations

Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and do not subject it to heavy pulling forces. For environments with significant electromagnetic interference, verify grounding and consider fully shielded cabling if required. Use the yellow color to maintain consistent color coding across the installation for easier troubleshooting and documentation.
