MetzConnect networking cable Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) green 1.5 m, RJ-45–RJ-45

MetzConnect Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) networking cable, 1.5 m long and finished in green, is designed for high-speed wired Ethernet connections. The cable features individually foil-wrapped pairs plus an overall braided shield to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and it is terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends for straightforward plug-and-play use. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and is suitable for structured cabling in offices, data cabinets, patch panels and workstations.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S-STP) construction with individually shielded pairs and an overall braid provides enhanced protection against external interference and improves signal integrity over short to medium distances. Cat6a performance enables reliable 10 GBASE-T operation where required, while the 1.5 m length keeps connections tidy between nearby devices. Factory-terminated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent contact quality and reduce installation time compared with on-site termination.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between switches, servers and workstations
• Patch panel to switch or wall outlet to workstation connections in office environments
• Connections inside data cabinets and network racks
• Encrypted or sensitive environments requiring reduced EMI and crosstalk

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil-wrapped individual pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 plug to RJ-45 plug (both ends)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Color: green
• Rated for: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T)

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your switch, router or patch panel and the other connector into the corresponding port of the target device such as a workstation or server. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and avoid running it parallel to power cables where possible to minimize interference. For rack installations, use cable management accessories to maintain bend radius and neat routing.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short to medium patch runs up to the recommended channel length for Cat6a, maintain proper bend radius, and avoid crushing or kinking the cable. Verify link speed and duplex settings on network equipment and use shielded connectors and properly grounded racks or patch panels to benefit fully from the shielding.
