Shielded F/UTP (SF/UTP) CAT6a Ethernet patch cable in blue, 10 meters long, intended for high-speed wired network connections up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The cable features foil shielding around the overall twisted pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference from nearby equipment and cabling. Standard RJ45 terminations make it compatible with switches, routers, patch panels and wall sockets in offices, data cabinets and residential networks.
Advantages
The cable provides improved protection against external interference compared with unshielded variants, supporting stable high-throughput connections over longer patch runs. Its CAT6a specification ensures headroom for 10GbE applications and better crosstalk performance than lower-category cables. The blue jacket simplifies visual identification in structured cabling environments, and the standard RJ45 plugs enable plug-and-play installation without special tools.
Suitable for
- 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between network switches and servers
- High-density patch panels and data cabinet interconnects
- Office and home networks where electromagnetic interference is a concern
- Longer horizontal or patch runs requiring CAT6a performance

How to use
Connect one RJ45 plug to the network port of a switch, router, server or wall socket and the other RJ45 plug to the corresponding device or patch panel port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click and verify link/activity LEDs on network equipment to confirm a connection. For best performance, avoid tight bends and kinks in the cable, maintain separation from high-voltage power lines where possible, and route the cable through appropriate cable management in cabinets or behind desks.
Usage recommendations
Use this SF/UTP CAT6a cable in environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is beneficial—such as near power supplies, dense cabling runs, or industrial equipment. For optimal 10GbE performance, pair with compatible CAT6a-compliant ports and follow proper installation practices including gentle bends, secure terminations, and minimal untwisting at connector ends.
