Ethernet patch cable ICIDU Brackton CAT6a SF/UTP 1 m Blue (CAT-626-0100.U)

ICIDU Brackton CAT6a SF/UTP 1 m Blue is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed short-range network connections. The cable follows CAT6a specifications and uses an SF/UTP (foiled shield with unshielded twisted pairs) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference while supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission. Fitted with RJ45 terminations, this 1-metre lead is intended for patching between network equipment such as switches, patch panels and wall outlets in offices, server racks and home networks that require reliable, low-latency data links.

Advantages

The SF/UTP shielding offers improved protection against external EMI compared with unshielded options, contributing to more stable high-speed transmissions. The cable’s CAT6a rating ensures support for 10Gbps at typical short distances, and the 1 m length minimises excess slack in patching environments. RJ45 connectors provide standard compatibility with network ports and common infrastructure equipment. The blue jacket enables easy visual identification in structured cabling setups.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches and patch panels in server racks
• Short links between desktop PCs and wall outlets in offices
• Connecting network devices in home networks requiring 10 Gigabit speeds
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is important

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6a
• Cable type: SF/UTP (foiled shield with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 1 metre
• Connectors: RJ45 to RJ45
• Color: Blue
• Data rate support: up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (over appropriate distances)

How to use

Connect one RJ45 termination to the network port of a switch, patch panel or wall outlet and the other RJ45 termination to the network device such as a computer, access point or media device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and route the cable to avoid sharp bends or tight kinks. For best performance, keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference and do not exceed recommended bend radii.

Usage recommendations

Use this 1 m patch cable for short-range connections within racks or between nearby devices. For longer runs or installations requiring continuous shielding across the entire link, consider using shielded cabling and ensure proper grounding of shielded components.
