Patch Cable S-Conn Cat.6A, S/FTP double-shielded, halogen-free, white, 7.5 m

S-Conn Cat.6A patch cable, S/FTP double-shielded and halogen-free, 7.5 m in white. Designed on the basis of Cat.7 raw cable conductors, this patch cable supports high-speed Ethernet connections and offers enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. It is intended for LAN connections in offices, data centers and other professional network installations where reliable signal integrity and reduced interference are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction provides individual foil shielding for each twisted pair plus an overall braided shield, which lowers near-end and far-end crosstalk and improves signal quality in environments with many cables or electronic equipment. The halogen-free jacket reduces the release of corrosive gases in case of fire, and the cable length of 7.5 m gives flexibility for rack-to-desk or patch-panel to switch connections. Using conductors based on Cat.7 raw cable ensures that the cable meets the electrical performance expected for Cat.6A applications.

Suitable for

• Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within racks, offices and telecom rooms
• Patch-panel to switch or workstation connections in corporate LANs
• Data center horizontal cabling and SFP+/RJ45 transceiver links (where copper cabling is required)
• Environments with elevated electromagnetic interference where shielded cable is preferred

When it may not be suitable

This shielded Cat.6A cable requires proper grounding of connectors and patch panels to gain full EMI protection; in installations without appropriate grounding, shielding benefits will be reduced. It is not a fiber optic solution and therefore not suitable where optical cabling is required for longer-distance links or immunity to electromagnetic fields.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6A (constructed on Cat.7 conductors)
• Shielding type: S/FTP – foil around each pair + overall braid
• Jacket material: halogen-free
• Color: white
• Length: 7.5 meters
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated (standard patch cable terminations)
• Intended performance: supports high-speed Ethernet up to 10 Gbps over appropriate channel lengths

How to use

Connect the RJ45 plug at each end to the corresponding port on switches, patch panels or network devices. Ensure that shielded connectors and panels are used and that the grounding/earthing of the shield is properly implemented to achieve optimal EMI protection. Avoid tight bends and kinks; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius and ensure the cable is not pinched by furniture or rack components to preserve performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that your network equipment and patch panels support shielded cabling and provide a proper grounding path
• Verify required cable length and route to avoid excess slack or tension
• Check that RJ45 ports and transceivers are compatible with Cat.6A electrical characteristics
• Decide if white jacket color and halogen-free construction meet site and safety requirements

Usage recommendations

For best results install this S-Conn Cat.6A S/FTP patch cable in shielded structured cabling systems using compatible shielded connectors and grounded patch panels. Keep bend radius gentle, separate from large power cables where possible, and perform certification testing if used in professional or mission-critical installations.
