Patch Cable S‑Conn Cat. 6A S/FTP double-shielded halogen‑free blue 1.0 m

S-Conn Cat. 6A S/FTP double-shielded halogen-free blue 1.0 m patch cable is designed for high-speed Ethernet and professional data networks requiring Cat6A performance. The cable features overall foil shielding plus individual pair shielding (S/FTP) to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. Its halogen-free jacket limits toxic fumes in case of fire and the 1.0 m length is suitable for short connections between patch panels, switches and servers in structured cabling systems.

Advantages

The double-shielded S/FTP design provides enhanced protection against alien crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables. A halogen-free outer jacket improves safety in enclosed or public spaces by producing less harmful smoke and corrosive gases in case of fire. The Cat. 6A specification supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over twisted pair at the rated distances, while the 1.0 m length reduces excess cable slack and helps maintain tidy rack or desk installations.

Suitable for

• Short horizontal links between patch panels and switches in data centers or server rooms
• Connections from switches to wall outlets or desktop network points in offices
• High-speed LAN connections requiring Cat6A performance and reduced EMI
• Environments where halogen-free cabling is preferred for safety regulations

When it may not be suitable

This 1.0 m cable is not intended for long-distance runs; for backbone or long horizontal cabling you should choose longer lengths or permanent link cabling rated for in-wall installation. If your installation does not require shielded cabling or you have a fully unshielded environment, a Cat6A U/UTP cable may be a simpler and lower-cost option.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat. 6A (supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall foil shield plus individually foil‑shielded pairs
• Fire safety: halogen-free jacket
• Length: 1.0 m
• Color: blue
• Typical applications: server rooms, switches, patch panels, desktop LAN links

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network switch, patch panel or device and the other RJ45 plug to the corresponding network port. Ensure connectors are fully seated and that the cable is not tightly bent near the connector boot to preserve performance. For rack installations, route the cable alongside other patch cords to avoid crossing power cables and to minimize electromagnetic interference. Verify link speed and connectivity after installation using network tools or switch port indicators.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length for your installation to avoid excess slack
• Whether shielded cabling is necessary in your environment to reduce EMI
• Compatibility of device ports with Cat6A and RJ45 connectors
• Fire-safety regulations that may require halogen-free cabling

Usage recommendations

Use the S-Conn Cat. 6A S/FTP patch cable for short, high-performance links where reduced interference and halogen-free construction are important. Keep cable runs within recommended lengths for patch cords, avoid sharp bends near connectors, and separate from power cabling to maintain optimal signal integrity.
