Network cable LIBOX CAT6a S/FTP 5 m LB0194-5

LIBOX CAT6a S/FTP 5 m network cable provides a shielded, high-bandwidth connection for short run Ethernet links. Designed for reliable data transfer in home and office environments, this cable supports up to 10 Gbps over 5 meters and uses individually foil-shielded pairs with an overall braided shield to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The product is suitable for connecting switches, routers, patch panels and wall outlets where stable, low-noise performance is required.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction combines foil shielding around each twisted pair with an overall braided shield, improving immunity to external interference and minimizing pair-to-pair crosstalk. At 5 meters length the cable delivers full CAT6a performance for short-distance 10 Gigabit Ethernet links while maintaining backward compatibility with Gigabit Ethernet and lower speeds. Durable outer jacket and precise pair twisting ensure consistent signal integrity and physical durability in typical installation scenarios.

Suitable for

• Short-distance 10 Gbps connections between switches and servers
• Patch panel to switch or wall outlet to switch cabling in LANs
• High-performance wired connections for home offices and small offices
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielding is needed

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (individual pair foil + overall braid)
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbps over short runs
• Length: 5 meters
• Conductor type: twisted pair, copper conductors
• Typical use: Ethernet LAN, patching, device interconnection

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network port of your switch, router, or network device and the other plug to the corresponding port on the opposite device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and locked to maintain a stable link. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends, kinks, or tight coils and keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines and strong sources of electromagnetic noise. When routing through conduits or cable trays, maintain recommended bend radius and avoid compressing the shielded structure.

Usage recommendations

Use this cable for short, high-speed runs where 10 Gbps performance is required and shielding is beneficial. For longer distances or permanent structured cabling beyond typical short runs, consult installation guidelines and consider in-wall rated or higher-category cabling appropriate for your infrastructure.
