Network patch cable ICIDU Brackton SF/UTP CAT6a, 3 m, yellow

ICIDU Brackton SF/UTP CAT6a patch cable, 3 m in yellow, provides shielded foiled twisted pair connectivity for high-speed Ethernet and 10 Gigabit applications. The cable is designed to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in environments where a foil shield around each pair and an overall screen are required. With a 3 meter length and standardized RJ45 terminations, this Cat6a cable is intended for linking switches, patch panels, servers and workstations where reliable, low-loss transmission and Cat6a performance are needed.

Advantages

The SF/UTP construction offers improved protection against external interference compared with unshielded alternatives, helping to maintain signal integrity in dense cabling environments. Cat6a specifications allow support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over structured cabling up to appropriate channel lengths, while the 3 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-desk and patch panel-to-switch connections. The yellow jacket improves visibility for cable management and identification in server rooms and office installations.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centers and wiring closets
• Connections between patch panels and network switches
• Desktop and workstation network connections requiring Cat6a performance
• Environments with increased electromagnetic interference where shielding is recommended

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (augmented Category 6)
• Construction: SF/UTP — foil-shielded pairs with overall shield
• Length: 3 meters
• Connector type: RJ45 male to RJ45 male
• Color: Yellow
• Application: Ethernet, including 10GbE over compliant channels
• Conductor: stranded copper for patch flexibility

How to use

Plug the RJ45 connectors into corresponding ports on switches, patch panels or endpoints until they click into place. Route the cable following established cable management practices to avoid sharp bends, kinks or compression that could impair performance. Ensure the cable shield is properly earthed at one or both ends according to site grounding policy when used in shielded installations to maintain the shielding effectiveness.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a SF/UTP cable within structured cabling channels that meet Cat6a standards, avoid running adjacent to high-power electrical lines, and verify connector seating and grounding in shielded environments. Replace cables that show visible damage or connector wear to preserve network reliability.
