Networking cable No name 75712-S Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) RJ-45 to RJ-45, 2 m, blue, gold-plated contacts

The No name 75712-S Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) RJ-45 to RJ-45 networking cable is a 2 m patch cable engineered for high-speed Ethernet connections. With Cat6a specification and S/FTP shielding, this blue cable supports reliable data transmission for gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs improve electrical contact and resist corrosion, while the standard RJ-45 male-to-male configuration makes it suitable for connecting switches, routers, network interfaces and patch panels in home, office and data center environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S-STP) construction combines an overall braided screen with individually foil-shielded pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, providing stable performance in electrically noisy environments. Cat6a rating ensures bandwidth headroom for high-throughput applications and future-proofing for 10G links over short runs. Gold-plated contacts increase durability of the plug interface and maintain low contact resistance for consistent signal transfer. The 2 m length offers a balance between reach and neat cable management for typical patching scenarios.

Suitable for

• Connecting network devices such as switches, routers and NAS to patch panels and wall jacks
• Gigabit Ethernet and short-distance 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in office or home networks
• Data center patching where shielded cabling is required to mitigate interference
• Temporary or permanent device interconnections in mixed-cable installations

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Length: 2 meters
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Color: blue

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 end into the network port of the source device (for example a router or switch) and the other RJ-45 end into the destination device or a patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. For shielded systems, ensure proper grounding of connected equipment and patch panels to maintain the effectiveness of the S/FTP shielding. Avoid tight bends or kinks and do not place heavy objects on the cable to preserve performance.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short to medium runs where reduced electromagnetic interference is important. Maintain bend radius above manufacturer recommendations (typically four times the cable diameter) and keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines and sources of strong electromagnetic noise to ensure optimal 10G and gigabit performance.
