Patch Cable S-Conn Cat6A, S/FTP double-shielded, halogen-free, white, 5.0 m

S-Conn Cat6A patch cable, 5.0 m, uses Cat7-grade conductor construction and S/FTP double shielding (screened foiled twisted pair) with a halogen-free white jacket. It is designed to support high-speed Ethernet links including Gigabit and 10 Gigabit applications where reduced crosstalk and improved protection against electromagnetic interference are required. The cable delivers Cat6A performance in a flexible patch lead form factor suitable for data cabinets, wall outlets and active network equipment interconnects.

Advantages

The S/FTP double-shielded design combines individual foil shields around each twisted pair with an overall braid/foil, providing enhanced protection against alien crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. The Cat7-grade internal construction improves pair geometry stability and attenuation characteristics across the frequency range expected for Cat6A operation. A halogen-free outer jacket reduces toxic gas emissions in case of fire and the white color offers a neutral appearance for visible installations.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in structured cabling (short runs and patching)
• Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, patch panels and servers
• Data center patching and high-density rack installations
• Environments requiring reduced EMI and improved signal integrity

When it may not be suitable

This 5.0 m patch cable is intended for in-room and rack-to-rack connections; it is not designed as permanent in-wall bulk cable. For very long horizontal runs or where specific in-wall fire ratings are required, a purpose-rated installation cable should be used. It also does not include angled or low-profile connectors that can be necessary in some shallow-panel rack layouts.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A performance (constructed from Cat7-grade raw cable)
• Shielding: S/FTP (individually foiled pairs with overall shielding)
• Jacket material: halogen-free outer sheath
• Color: white
• Length: 5.0 m
• Connector type: standard RJ45 patch connectors (8P8C)
• Suitable frequency range: supports bandwidths required for Cat6A/10G operation

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network equipment port (switch, router, server NIC or patch panel) and the other end to the corresponding port on the remote device or patch panel. Route the cable to avoid close parallel runs with power cables and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For best signal integrity, use appropriate cable management such as patch cords guides or Velcro straps to prevent excessive bending or kinking, and ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm required patch length (5.0 m) and cable routing constraints in your rack or workplace
• Verify connector type and orientation are compatible with your patch panels and devices
• Evaluate whether in-wall rated cable or angled/low-profile patch cords are needed for your installation

Usage recommendations

For stable 10 Gigabit links, pair this S-Conn Cat6A patch cable with properly rated switches, patch panels and NICs, maintain minimal untwisting at connector terminations, and avoid tight bends (observe the cable's minimum bend radius) to preserve signal performance over the 5.0 m run.
