Network patch cable ICIDU Brackton CAT6a SF/UTP, 2 m, blue

The ICIDU Brackton CAT6a SF/UTP patch cable in blue is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for high-speed data transmission in 10 Gigabit-capable networks. With a 2 m length, this cable provides a compact connection between switches, patch panels, routers and network devices. The SF/UTP shielding improves protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI), making it suitable for office, server room and home network environments where signal integrity over short runs is important.

Advantages

The cable supports Category 6a performance for reliable 10 Gbps throughput over short distances and uses SF/UTP shielding to reduce crosstalk and external interference. Its 2 m length offers flexibility for tidy cable routing in racks and workstations while the blue jacket provides visual identification for structured cabling. The construction ensures consistent signal transmission and compatibility with standard RJ45 ports on network equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in data cabinets and racks
• Linking routers, network appliances and servers over short runs
• Office workstations and VoIP phone connections that require EMI protection
• Home networks and small server rooms needing organized, high-speed links

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6a
• Shielding: SF/UTP (foil overall shield with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Rated speed: up to 10 Gbps over appropriate distances
• Length: 2 meters
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Color: blue jacket for easy identification
• Typical use: horizontal patching and short link applications

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connectors into compatible Ethernet ports on switches, routers, patch panels or network devices until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and excessive tension; maintain gentle radii to preserve performance. For installations in electrically noisy environments, ensure connectors are properly seated and any equipment grounding is in place to take full advantage of the SF/UTP shielding.

Usage recommendations

Use this 2 m CAT6a SF/UTP cable for short, high-speed connections where EMI reduction is beneficial. Avoid sharp bends and kinking, keep the cable away from power cables where possible, and use color-coded cabling schemes in racks to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
