Networking cable PremiumCord SP6ASFTP005R RJ-45 Cat6a 0.5 m Red

The PremiumCord SP6ASFTP005R RJ-45 Cat6a 0.5 m Red is a short, shielded Ethernet patch cable intended for high-speed data links in constrained spaces. This Cat6a cable uses S/FTP (shielded foil twisted pair) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity over the specified length. Both ends are terminated with standard RJ-45 connectors to ensure compatibility with network switches, routers, patch panels and network-enabled devices. The red jacket provides clear visual identification within cable bundles and racks.

Advantages

The cable's S/FTP shielding offers improved protection against crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded alternatives, which helps preserve throughput in environments with electronic noise. As a Cat6a-rated cable, it supports higher frequencies appropriate for demanding Ethernet standards within its length. The 0.5 m form factor minimizes excess slack and simplifies tidy installations in patch panels, desktops and equipment-to-equipment connections. The molded RJ-45 connectors provide a reliable mechanical and electrical termination for repeated insertions.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between network equipment in racks and cabinets
• Connecting devices on desks where minimal cable length is required
• Organizing color-coded cabling runs for easier identification and maintenance
• High-density patch panels and switch-to-switch short links

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding type: S/FTP (overall foil shield with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Color: Red

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks. Use the cable for short-distance connections where a 0.5 m length is sufficient; avoid stretching the cable or bending it sharply at the connector ends to prevent strain. For rack or patch panel installations, route the cable with appropriate cable management to prevent unnecessary mechanical stress and to maintain airflow and accessibility.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable within recommended bend radius limits, avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-power electrical lines, and ensure connectors are fully seated. Use the red color to mark specific circuits or pathways in multi-cable installations for easier troubleshooting and maintenance.
