Network patch cable ICIDU Brackton SF/UTP CAT6a 1 m, yellow

ICIDU Brackton SF/UTP CAT6a 1 m patch cable in yellow is designed for short, high‑performance Ethernet connections where CAT6a bandwidth is required. The cable uses screened foil over a single pair with unshielded twisted pairs (SF/UTP) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference on one end while maintaining flexible installation. It is intended for linking switches, routers, patch panels and workstations in home and office networks where reliable gigabit and 10 Gigabit connections over a one‑metre run are needed.

Advantages

The SF/UTP construction provides improved immunity to external interference compared to fully unshielded cables, helping to maintain signal integrity in environments with possible EMI sources. The 1 m length reduces excess cabling in dense network racks and desktop setups, improving airflow and cable management. The yellow jacket offers clear visual identification in cable bundles and structured cabling systems, simplifying network organization and troubleshooting.

Suitable for

• Short links between patch panels and switches in server rooms or comms cabinets
• Desktop connections from wall outlets or floor boxes to workstations
• Connecting network devices where one‑ended screening is sufficient to mitigate interference
• Temporary or permanent patching in home and small office networks

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6a (suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short runs)
• Shielding: SF/UTP (screened foil over overall, unshielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 1 metre
• Conductor: 4 pairs, twisted
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends (8P8C)
• Color: yellow
• Typical use: patch cable for horizontal and rack cabling

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network port of your switch, router or patch panel and the other plug to the corresponding device or outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure a reliable contact. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible. For rack installations, use cable management accessories to maintain order and avoid strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this 1 m CAT6a SF/UTP cable for short direct patching where visual identification and reduced interference are important. Avoid excessive bending radii and do not expose the cable to temperatures or mechanical stresses beyond typical indoor network installations.
