Network cable LOGON APR6020Y Cat6 S/FTP (S‑STP) Yellow 2 m RJ‑45–RJ‑45

LOGON APR6020Y Cat6 S/FTP (S‑STP) Yellow 2 m RJ‑45–RJ‑45 is a 2 metre Ethernet patch cable designed for Gigabit networking in residential and office environments. The cable features four individually foil‑shielded pairs wrapped in an overall braid to reduce alien crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. Both ends terminate in standard RJ‑45 straight plugs compatible with network ports on routers, switches, NAS devices and PCs. The compact 2 m length is convenient for short connections between rack equipment, desktops and wall sockets without excess cable slack.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S‑STP) construction combines foil shielding on each twisted pair with an overall braided shield to provide improved protection against noise compared with unshielded cables. With Cat6 performance and 26 AWG conductors, the cable supports Gigabit Ethernet and ensures low attenuation for short to medium runs. The yellow jacket makes the cable easy to identify in cabling bundles and structured cabling installations. Low smoke zero halogen (LSOH) insulation improves safety in enclosed spaces by reducing toxic fumes in case of fire.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and hubs to endpoints in home and small office networks
• Linking desktop PCs, VoIP phones and network printers
• Patch panels and short horizontal cabling runs in server racks
• Situations where reduced electromagnetic interference is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (individual foil for each pair + overall braid)
• Conductor size: 26 AWG, 4 twisted pairs
• Connectors: RJ‑45 straight male to RJ‑45 straight male
• Length: 2 m
• Jacket: LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)

How to use

Insert each RJ‑45 plug into the corresponding network port until the clip clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the cable for point‑to‑point connections between networking equipment such as a router to a switch, a switch to a patch panel, or a PC to a wall outlet. Avoid sharp bends and kinks; maintain a bend radius consistent with Cat6 installation practices to preserve signal integrity. For best performance, keep the cable separate from high‑voltage power lines and sources of strong electromagnetic interference.

Usage recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance, use this Cat6 S/FTP cable for runs up to typical horizontal distances and in environments requiring reduced EMI. Inspect connectors for damage before use and replace the cable if the jacket or shielding is compromised. When installing in patch panels or cable management systems, label the yellow cable for quick identification.
