LANBERG CAT 6a S/FTP patch cable, 2 m, yellow (RAL 1016)

LANBERG CAT 6a S/FTP patch cable in yellow (RAL 1016), 2 m length, is designed for high-speed Ethernet connections and structured cabling. The cable features S/FTP shielding with individually foil-shielded twisted pairs and an overall braided shield, providing reduced electromagnetic interference and stable signal transmission for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. Its flexible jacket and standard RJ45 terminations make it suitable for patching between switches, patch panels and network devices in offices, server rooms and data centers.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP construction offers enhanced protection against crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, improving link stability and signal integrity at higher frequencies. The CAT 6a specification supports 10 Gbps transmission over short distances and meets the requirements of modern LAN and data center environments. The 2 m length provides a balance between reach and tidy cable management, and the yellow RAL 1016 jacket enables clear visual identification in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches and servers
• Patching between patch panels and active network equipment
• Horizontal cabling runs in office and commercial networks
• Shielded installations where EMI protection is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT 6a (Augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: S/FTP — individually foil-shielded pairs with overall braided shield
• Length: 2 m
• Conductor: 4-pair twisted copper conductors, stranded
• Connector: RJ45 plug on both ends, 8P8C
• Color: Yellow (RAL 1016)
• Intended data rate: up to 10 Gbps
• Typical use: horizontal and patch cabling in LAN and data centre environments

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connectors into compatible Ethernet ports on switches, patch panels, routers or network devices until the plug locks into place. Route the cable along designated cable trays or management channels, avoiding tight bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible. For shielded systems, ensure proper grounding of network equipment and shield terminations at patch panels or connectors to maintain shielding effectiveness.

Recommendations for use

Use this CAT 6a S/FTP patch cable for short to medium patch connections where 10 Gbps throughput and EMI protection are required. Maintain bend radius guidelines (typically four times the cable diameter) and avoid mechanical strain on the RJ45 plugs. In shielded installations, verify correct grounding practices to fully utilize the S/FTP shielding.
