Network patch cable ICIDU Brackton CAT 6a SF/UTP, 7.5 m, light grey

ICIDU Brackton CAT 6a SF/UTP patch cable, 7.5 m in light grey, is a shielded and foil‑screened twisted‑pair network cable engineered for high‑speed wired Ethernet installations. It supports Category 6a performance parameters, enabling reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission over copper for structured cabling in data centers, offices and home networks. The cable combines SF/UTP shielding with standard CAT6a pair construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk while maintaining consistent signal integrity across the 7.5‑metre length.

Advantages

The shielded foil over twisted pairs provides improved protection against external EMI and near‑end crosstalk compared with unshielded alternatives, helping to preserve throughput in electrically noisy environments. A 7.5 m length offers flexibility for connecting patch panels, switches and workstations without excessive slack. The light grey jacket is suitable for visible installations in office and data center rack environments and allows easy cable identification and routing.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in local area networks
• Connections between switches, patch panels and routers
• Workstation or server cabling in offices and data centers
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference where shielding is beneficial

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6a (augmented)
• Shielding: SF/UTP (braid and foil over twisted pairs)
• Length: 7.5 metres
• Color: Light grey
• Performance: Supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated at both ends (standard modular plugs)

How to use

Route the cable between network devices ensuring the jacket and connectors are not kinked or sharply bent; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for Cat 6a cables. Insert RJ45 plugs fully into the device ports until they click to ensure secure connections. For installations in electrically noisy areas, ensure proper grounding and maintain the integrity of the shielding by using compatible shielded connectors and properly terminated patch panels or keystone jacks.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high‑voltage power lines and maintain separation from electrical sources. Use shielded patch panels and connectors to preserve the SF/UTP shielding continuity. Test links after installation with appropriate certification or verification tools to confirm Category 6a performance.
