Networking cable No name S/CONN Cat6a 0.5 m, S/FTP (S‑STP) RJ-45 — Grey

Short patch networking cable No name S/CONN Cat6a 0.5 m with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed to meet Cat6a performance for up to 10 Gbps applications, this compact grey cable uses S/FTP (S‑STP) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in dense installations. Its half‑metre length makes it suitable for connections inside server racks, between switches and patch panels, or for short workstation links where excess cable should be avoided.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction combines an overall braided screen with individually foil‑shielded pairs to provide improved protection against external noise and near‑end crosstalk. Cat6a rating ensures stable transmission at frequencies up to 500 MHz, supporting high‑speed Ethernet up to 10 Gbps over the specified channel length. The short 0.5 m form factor reduces cable clutter and improves airflow in racks while standard RJ‑45 terminations ensure compatibility with common network equipment. The neutral grey jacket helps the cable blend into professional environments.

Suitable for

• Short links between patch panels and switches in rack environments
• Connections between network devices in dense server cabinets
• Workstation to wall port or desk switch connections where short length is required
• Temporary setups and test benches needing reliable 10 Gbps links

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braided shield with foil‑shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ‑45 male to RJ‑45 male
• Length: 0.5 m
• Color: Grey
• Supported frequency: up to 500 MHz
• Data rate: suitable for up to 10 Gbps within Cat6a channel limits

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 male plug to the source device (switch, patch panel or router) and the other plug to the destination device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish reliable contact. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid tight kinks; maintain separation from high‑voltage power lines to minimize interference. Use the 0.5 m length where a short, direct connection is needed to avoid excess slack.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, install the cable within standard Cat6a channel guidelines and avoid exceeding recommended bundling or bend radius. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and replace if the latch or contacts are compromised. Keep the cable clear of active power cabling and sources of strong electromagnetic interference.
