Patch Cable S‑Conn Cat.6A S/FTP double-shielded halogen-free blue 1.5 m

S‑Conn Cat.6A S/FTP patch cable, 1.5 m, is designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed LAN connections. The cable features S/FTP double-shielded construction — overall braid with individual foil and drain wire shielding for each twisted pair — and a halogen-free jacket in blue. It is intended for installations that require reduced electromagnetic interference and compliance with GHMT-certified cabling component requirements in data centers, server rooms and office networks.

Advantages

The S/FTP double-shielded design provides improved protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk compared with unshielded or single-shielded cables. The halogen-free jacket reduces the risk of toxic gas emissions in case of fire, supporting safer deployment in enclosed technical spaces. At 1.5 m length the cable is suitable for short patching runs in racks and patch panels while maintaining Cat.6A performance for 10GBASE-T applications.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links (10GBASE-T) in LAN environments
• Patching between servers, switches and patch panels in data centers and server rooms
• Office network cabling requiring GHMT-certified components
• Environments where reduced EMI and improved pair shielding are important

When it may not be suitable

This 1.5 m patch cable is intended for short connections and patch panel-to-equipment links; it is not intended as in-wall permanent horizontal cabling over long distances. If you need runs longer than the specified channel length or structured cabling with conduit and termination for long distances, use appropriate horizontal Cat.6A cabling rated for those installations. The cable’s shielding and halogen-free jacket add stiffness compared with unshielded variants, which may reduce flexibility in very tight routing scenarios.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A (supports 10GBASE-T)
• Shielding: S/FTP double-shielded (overall braid plus foil/drain per pair)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Jacket: Halogen-free, blue
• Connector type: RJ45 (standard patch cable terminations)
• Typical use: Short patching runs, rack and panel connections

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device (switch, router or server) and the other plug to the patch panel or another network device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and latched. For optimal performance keep the cable unstrained and avoid sharp bends; maintain the bend radius recommended for Cat.6A cables. When installing in shielded environments, verify proper grounding/earthing of equipment and patch panels to make use of the cable’s shielding.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and whether 1.5 m suits your rack or desk layout
• Need for shielded cabling in your environment and proper grounding provisions
• Compatibility with your equipment’s connectors and intended 10G performance
• Preference for halogen-free jackets due to fire-safety requirements

Usage recommendations

Use the S‑Conn Cat.6A S/FTP patch cable for short, high-speed links within racks and between patch panels and devices. Ensure continuous grounding of shielded infrastructure and avoid excessive bending or tension to preserve 10 Gigabit performance.
