Networking Cable S/CONN 75711 20m RJ-45 Cat6a Grey

The S/CONN 75711 20m RJ-45 Cat6a Grey networking cable is a 20-metre Ethernet cable built to the Cat6a standard for high-speed wired data transmission. It features S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic and crosstalk interference and is fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors on both ends to ensure reliable contact and long-term durability. The cable’s grey jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for office, data centre and home installations.

Advantages

This Cat6a S/CONN cable offers enhanced bandwidth and reduced interference compared with lower-category cables, supporting higher data rates over 20 metres. The S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil with individually shielded pairs to minimise near-end crosstalk and external EMI, improving signal integrity in environments with multiple cables or electronic equipment nearby. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve corrosion resistance and ensure stable physical and electrical connections. The 20 m length allows flexible placement of network devices while maintaining full performance specified for Cat6a.

Suitable for

• High-speed wired connections for desktop PCs, workstations and servers
• Network switches, routers and patch panels in small to medium installations
• Data transfer and streaming in home offices, offices and server rooms
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference where shielded cable is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 20 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Connector plating: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: grey

How to use

Uncoil the cable carefully to avoid kinks and route it along cable trays or under desks as required. Plug one gold-plated RJ-45 connector into the network port of the source device (for example, a switch or router) and the other connector into the destination device (for example, a PC or server). Ensure connectors click into place and verify link/activity LEDs on networking equipment to confirm a physical connection. Avoid tight bending radii at termination points and keep the cable separated from high-voltage power lines where possible to maintain optimal performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results, test the cable after installation with appropriate network testing tools to confirm Cat6a performance and verify that shielding continuity is intact. When running multiple cables, maintain consistent grounding practices for shielded installations and avoid exceeding the recommended bend radius to preserve signal quality.
