Ethernet patch cable ICIDU Brackton CAT6a SF/UTP, 2 m, green

ICIDU Brackton CAT6a SF/UTP patch cable, 2 m, green is a shielded Ethernet cable designed to meet CAT6a performance for high‑speed network connections. The SF/UTP construction combines an overall braid shield with foil around each pair to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting reliable data transmission in wired LAN environments. With a 2 metre length and molded RJ45 connectors, the cable is intended for short runs between switches, patch panels, routers and workstations in office or home networks.

Advantages

The shielded SF/UTP design improves immunity to external interference and helps maintain signal integrity at higher frequencies required by CAT6a standards. The 2 m length offers flexibility for typical rack and desktop arrangements while avoiding excess cable clutter. Molded connector boots provide strain relief and protect connector integrity during repeated insertions, and the green jacket enables quick visual identification in multi‑cable installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches to patch panels in small and medium business racks
• Linking routers or firewalls to access switches
• Workstation connections where reduced interference is required
• Home network setups requiring CAT6a performance for gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short runs

Key specifications

• Standard: CAT6a performance
• Cable type: SF/UTP (overall braid shield + foil on pairs)
• Length: 2 metres
• Connector: RJ45, molded boots for strain relief
• Colour: green
• Application: Ethernet LAN, suitable for gigabit and 10GBASE‑T over short distances

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connector into the corresponding port on a switch, patch panel, router or network interface; the molded boot ensures correct orientation and strain protection. Ensure both ends are securely seated until the connector latch clicks. For best results, route the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic noise and avoid tight bends or kinks that could affect performance. Use cable management ties or channels to maintain organized runs in racks or under desks.

Usage recommendations

Use this CAT6a SF/UTP patch cable for short horizontal and patch connections where shielding is beneficial. Avoid running alongside high‑voltage power lines and maintain recommended bend radii; verify link speed and performance with network testing tools if used in critical installations.
