Patch cable ICIDU Brackton SF/UTP Cat6a 1.5 m Blue

ICIDU Brackton SF/UTP Cat6a patch cable, 1.5 m in blue, is built for short-range high-speed Ethernet connections that meet Cat6a performance. The cable uses SF/UTP construction — overall braid with individual foil shielding around twisted pairs — to minimize electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in dense network environments such as racks, patch panels and switch arrays. Its compact 1.5 m length is suitable for tidy cable management between adjacent ports while supporting up to 10 Gbps links where Cat6a criteria apply.

Advantages

The shielded SF/UTP design reduces both external interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk, improving signal integrity in environments with multiple adjacent cables and active equipment. Cat6a-rated performance ensures bandwidth and reduced return loss for 10 Gbps Ethernet on short runs. The 1.5 m length helps maintain an organized rack or desktop layout and reduces excess cable, while the durable blue jacket provides easy visual identification in mixed-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels within racks and cabinets
• Short links between network devices in office environments
• Data centre top-of-rack or inter-shelf connections requiring 10 Gbps-capable cabling
• Home or small-business installations that need shielded Ethernet for reduced interference

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a performance class
• Construction: SF/UTP (overall braid with foil-shielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Color: Blue
• Performance: Supports 10 Gbps Ethernet over short runs in accordance with Cat6a characteristics
• Connector type: Standard RJ45 modular plugs

How to use

Route the patch cable between the RJ45 ports of devices such as switches, patch panels or network interface ports. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a reliable contact. Avoid tight bending near the connectors and keep the cable within recommended bend radius to maintain signal performance. For best results in shielded installations, connect the shielded connectors to properly grounded equipment or patch panels to ensure the SF/UTP shielding is effective.

Usage recommendations

Install the cable in environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is important and where short, high-bandwidth links are required. Use the 1.5 m length to minimize slack and simplify cable management; ensure proper grounding of shielded infrastructure to gain full benefit from SF/UTP construction.
