Network cable ROLINE CAT.6a S/FTP Yellow 2 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45

ROLINE CAT.6a S/FTP Yellow 2 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45 is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network links. The 2 m cable uses Cat6a construction with overall braid shielding and individually shielded twisted pairs (S/FTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference and support 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Both ends are fitted with screened RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts and moulded strain relief for durable, reliable connections in office, rack and structured-cabling environments.

Advantages

The cable provides double-shielded protection — a complete braid plus foil-shielded individual pairs — to minimise crosstalk and external interference. It is built from four pairs of stranded copper conductors, uses gold-plated contacts for stable signal transfer, and follows the EIA/TIA 568 1:1 contact wiring. The moulded kink protection increases mechanical durability while the flexible jacket allows narrow bends and easy routing in confined spaces. The yellow jacket improves visual identification in patch panels and cable runs.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between switches and servers
• Patch connections in server racks and distribution panels
• Structured cabling in offices and data closets
• Short horizontal runs where shielded cable is required to reduce EMI

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil on individual pairs)
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, screened
• Conductor: 4-pair stranded copper
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Wiring: 1:1, EIA/TIA 568 standard
• Colour: Yellow

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of a switch, router or network device and the other RJ-45 plug to the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and the latching tab engages to maintain a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; the moulded strain relief reduces stress at the connector ends but standard cable management practices should be followed to preserve performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this shielded Cat6a cable in environments where electromagnetic interference may affect unshielded cables. Maintain proper grounding of shielded infrastructure components and avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines. Use within its 2 m length for short links to preserve signal integrity for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications.
