Patchcord S/CONN maximum connectivity 75711 – Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) patch cable 20 m, grey, RJ‑45 gold‑plated

Patchcord S/CONN maximum connectivity 75711 – Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) patch cable 20 m, grey, RJ‑45 gold‑plated is a shielded Cat6a patch cable engineered for high-speed Ethernet and professional structured cabling. With S/FTP (S‑STP) shielding and gold-plated RJ‑45 contacts on both ends, this 20-meter cable is intended for environments where reliable data transmission and reduced electromagnetic interference are required, such as server rooms, network racks and commercial LAN installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S‑STP) construction combines an overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs to provide improved protection against external EMI and crosstalk compared with unshielded alternatives. Gold-plated RJ‑45 contacts ensure consistent conductivity and corrosion resistance for long-term performance. The 20 m length allows flexible routing between racks, switches and patch panels without additional couplers. The grey jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for visible cable runs in office or data centre environments.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet up to Cat6a performance in LAN environments
• Server rooms and data centre patching between switches, routers and patch panels
• Professional structured cabling installations requiring shielded cables to reduce EMI
• Audio-visual setups and PoE deployments where interference protection is important

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 20 m
• Connector type: RJ‑45 on both ends, gold-plated contacts
• Jacket colour: Grey
• Intended application: Structured cabling, Ethernet networking, PoE-compatible systems

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 end to the network device (switch, router, NIC) and the other end to the target port such as a patch panel or another network device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. When routing the cable, avoid sharp bends and keep separation from high-voltage power lines where possible to maintain signal integrity. For installations in shielded environments, ensure proper grounding of racks and panels to benefit from the cable's shielding.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP patch cable for critical network links requiring reduced EMI and reliable gigabit-plus performance. For permanent in-wall installations, verify local building codes and use appropriate plenum-rated or in-wall-rated variants if required; otherwise use this cable for patching and interconnects within cabinets and equipment rooms.
