Patch Cable S-Conn Cat. 6A S/FTP double-shielded halogen-free white 0.25 m

S-Conn Cat. 6A S/FTP double-shielded patch cable, halogen-free and 0.25 m long in white, is designed for short, high-performance Ethernet and data connections inside racks, between patch panels, and at workstations. The cable meets Cat6A performance requirements and includes both shielded twisted pairs and an overall shield to reduce electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference. GHMT component certification confirms compliance with relevant component-level standards.

Advantages

The double shielding (S/FTP) combines foil-wrapped pairs and an overall braid or foil to improve protection against EMI/RFI and crosstalk, supporting stable 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over short distances. The halogen-free jacket reduces toxic gas emission in the event of fire, making the cable suitable for installations where low smoke and low toxicity are required. Short 0.25 m length minimises excess slack in dense patching environments and helps maintain tidy, organised rack and desk cabling.

Suitable for

• Short connections between switch ports and patch panels in server racks
• Patching inside network cabinets and telecom enclosures
• Workstation to wall outlet or short desk patching
• High-speed Ethernet links requiring Cat6A component performance

When it may not be suitable

This 0.25 m patch cable is not intended for long-distance runs; use it only for short, in-rack or near-equipment connections. It does not replace in-wall or plenum-rated permanent link cables where specific building-code fire ratings or longer run lengths are required.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat. 6A performance
• Shielding: S/FTP — individually shielded pairs plus overall shield
• Length: 0.25 m
• Conductor: stranded copper (suitable for patching)
• Jacket: halogen-free
• Colour: white
• Ethernet: supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short runs
• Certification: GHMT component compliance

How to use

Connect the RJ45 plugs to the corresponding ports on switches, patch panels or network interface devices. Use the 0.25 m length for tidy patching in dense rack environments or for short desk and workstation connections. Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connector boots and keep the cable path free of tight staples or pinch points. If bridging between devices in different cabinets or over longer distances, select a longer cable designed for those runs.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length for your patching layout — 0.25 m is for short connections only
• Need for halogen-free jacket in your installation environment
• Compatibility with your connectors and patch panels (RJ45, Cat6A-rated hardware)
• Whether in-wall or plenum-rated cable is needed for permanent installations

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use the S-Conn Cat. 6A S/FTP 0.25 m patch cable for short, high-density patching inside racks and between near-by equipment. Keep bend radius within manufacturer guidelines and avoid running the cable alongside large power conductors to minimise interference.
