Patch Cable S-Conn Cat. 6A S/FTP double shielded halogen-free blue 0.5 m

S-Conn Cat. 6A S/FTP double shielded halogen-free patch cable, 0.5 m in blue, is built for high-speed Ethernet and 10 Gigabit networks. The cable features individually shielded pairs with foil plus an overall braid (S/FTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, while halogen-free materials lower toxic gas emission in case of fire. Its compact 0.5 m length and standardized RJ45 terminations make it suitable for short interconnects in data centers, server racks and professional LAN installations where Cat6A performance and reduced interference are required.

Advantages

The S-Conn Cat. 6A patch cable delivers category 6A performance for reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission over short runs and uses S/FTP construction—foil around each twisted pair plus an overall braided shield—to provide improved protection against external EMI and internal pair-to-pair crosstalk. Being halogen-free reduces harmful smoke and corrosive gases in fire scenarios. The 0.5 m length minimizes cable clutter in dense rack environments, and the blue jacket aids visual identification in structured cabling.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections in data centers and server cabinets
• Professional LAN installations requiring Cat6A and 10 Gbps links
• High-density patch panels and switch-to-server interconnects
• Environments where reduced EMI and improved shielding are needed

When it may not be suitable

This 0.5 m patch cable is not intended for long-distance backbone runs or horizontal cabling where longer lengths and different installation techniques are required. It may also be unnecessary for basic home networks that do not require Cat6A performance or 10 Gigabit bandwidth.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat. 6A performance for 10 Gbps Ethernet
• Shielding: S/FTP — foil around each pair plus overall braided shield
• Conductor and pairs: twisted pair construction optimized for reduced crosstalk
• Jacket: halogen-free material
• Length: 0.5 m (fixed patch length)
• Color: blue
• Connector: RJ45 terminations compatible with standard RJ45 ports

How to use

For typical use, connect one RJ45 plug to a switch, patch panel or router and the other plug to the destination device such as a server or network interface. Use the 0.5 m length for short interconnects inside racks or on patch panels where minimal slack is desired. Avoid sharp bends near the connectors and ensure connectors are fully inserted into ports to maintain reliable contact and optimal performance. Keep the cable separated from high-power cables where possible to further reduce interference.

What to consider before purchase

• Required length — 0.5 m is intended for short patching only
• Performance needs — Cat. 6A supports 10 Gbps; consider lower categories for lower bandwidth needs
• Environmental requirements — halogen-free jacket for improved safety in protected environments
• Compatibility — standard RJ45 connectors for common network equipment

Usage recommendations

Use this S-Conn Cat. 6A S/FTP 0.5 m patch cable for short, high-performance links in racks and data centers where shielding and halogen-free materials are required. Combine with proper cable management and grounded equipment to maximize EMI protection and maintain 10 Gigabit link quality.
