S-Conn Patch Cable Cat.6A with Cat.7 Core S/FTP Double Shielded Halogen-Free Red 2.0 m

The S-Conn Patch Cable Cat.6A with Cat.7 Core S/FTP Double Shielded Halogen-Free Red 2.0 m is a network patch lead designed for high-speed Ethernet applications. Constructed with a Cat.7-grade inner core and S/FTP (screened foil twisted pair) double shielding, this 2.0 m red cable supports 10 Gigabit networks and is intended for use in server racks, switches, wall outlets and other structured cabling installations where signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference are required. The halogen-free jacket reduces harmful gas emission in case of fire and aligns with safety-conscious installation environments.

Advantages

The cable combines a Cat.7 raw core with Cat.6A specification to provide enhanced performance for high-frequency data transmission while keeping backwards compatibility with Cat.6A deployments. Double shielding (S/FTP) minimizes crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, improving reliability in dense cabling environments. The halogen-free outer jacket offers increased safety by limiting toxic and corrosive gases in fire situations. The bright red color aids in visual identification and cable management within racks and distribution points.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centers and server rooms
• Patch connections between switches, routers and patch panels
• High-interference environments requiring shielded cabling
• Structured cabling installations where halogen-free materials are mandated

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not necessary for basic home networks that do not require 10 Gbps speeds or advanced shielding; in such cases, a standard Cat.5e or Cat.6 unshielded cable may suffice. Because it is shielded, proper grounding and compatible shielded connectors or panels are recommended; installations lacking appropriate grounding may not gain the full shielding benefits.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A with Cat.7 core
• Shielding: S/FTP (screened foil twisted pair), double shielded
• Length: 2.0 m
• Conductor/core standard: Cat.7 equivalent inner core
• Jacket material: halogen-free
• Color: red
• Intended bandwidth: suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet

How to use

Use the S-Conn Cat.6A patch cable to connect network equipment such as switches, patch panels, routers and servers. Insert the RJ45 connectors into compatible ports until they click to ensure a secure connection. For shielded performance, terminate and connect to shield-compatible jacks, patch panels or outlets and ensure proper grounding of the shielding at the installation point. Route the cable avoiding tight bends and excessive pulling force; observe the cable’s minimum bend radius to maintain performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance is required for your application.
• Verify that installation points (patch panels, keystone jacks) support shielded cables and grounding.
• Ensure the 2.0 m length and red color match your cable management and routing needs.
• Check building or project requirements for halogen-free cabling compliance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, pair this S/FTP shielded cable with shielded connectors and grounded metal patch panels, avoid sharp bends and maintain separation from high-voltage power lines. Use the red color to mark specific circuits or critical links in multi-cable installations.
