Patch cable CAT6A S/FTP LOGON — Ethernet 10Gb/s, shielded twisted pair

LOGON PATCH CABLE CAT6A S/FTP is a shielded Ethernet patch lead engineered for high‑speed copper networks up to 10 Gb/s over Cat6A infrastructure. The cable uses S/FTP construction with individual foil shields around each twisted pair plus an overall braided shield to reduce near‑end crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. The lead is suitable for use in structured cabling, patch panels and direct device connections where stable, high‑bandwidth transmission is required.

Advantages

The S/FTP design delivers enhanced protection against external noise and pair‑to‑pair interference compared with unshielded alternatives, improving signal integrity at high data rates. Built for Category 6A performance, the patch cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and maintains consistent throughput across shorter and longer copper runs inside the cable’s intended deployment range. Shielding also helps when cables are routed near power lines or other sources of interference.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centers and server rooms
• Office LAN patching between switches, patch panels and endpoints
• Environments with elevated electromagnetic interference
• Structured cabling where Cat6A bandwidth and shielding are required

Key specifications

• Performance class: Category 6A compliant for 10 Gb/s Ethernet
• Cable type: Shielded S/FTP (individual foil per pair + overall braid)
• Signal: Twisted pair copper for Ethernet networking
• Typical use: Patch lead for patch panels, switches and network devices
• Connector type: Standard RJ45 terminations (8P8C) suitable for Cat6A

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network device or patch panel port and the other end to the corresponding switch, router or endpoint. Route the cable following best practices for shielded cabling: avoid sharp bends, maintain minimum bend radius, and keep the shield continuity by ensuring proper termination to grounded metal ports or panels when available. Do not subject the cable to excessive pulling force during installation and secure it with cable ties or management accessories as needed.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, terminate the cable to properly grounded metal or shielded connectors and panels to preserve the S/FTP shielding. Use this patch cable within a structured Cat6A installation and avoid bundling with high‑power electrical cabling to minimize interference risks.
