S‑Conn Patch Cable Cat6A S/FTP Double Shielded Halogen‑Free White 1.0 m

S‑Conn Patch Cable Cat6A S/FTP Double Shielded Halogen‑Free White 1.0 m is a Category 6A patch lead designed for high‑speed data transmission in structured cabling environments. The cable uses S/FTP topology (overall braid plus individual foil around each twisted pair) to minimise electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. With a halogen‑free outer jacket and a 1.0 m length in white, it is intended for short interconnects such as switches, server patch panels and desktop connections while meeting GHMT performance requirements for Category 6A and supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet.

Advantages

The double shielding (S/FTP) construction provides enhanced protection against external electromagnetic interference and pair‑to‑pair crosstalk, improving signal integrity in dense installations. The halogen‑free jacket reduces harmful smoke and corrosive gas emission in the event of fire, which is advantageous for installation in public or enclosed buildings. The 1.0 m length offers a neat, low‑excess connection for racks and workstations, and compliance with Category 6A testing ensures the cable supports frequencies and performance needed for 10GbE applications.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections within racks and patch panels
• Short interconnects between switches and servers
• Office LAN desktop and workstation cabling
• Structured cabling installations requiring shielded cabling

When it may not be suitable

This 1.0 m patch cable is not intended for long runs; for backbone or horizontal cabling distances you should select appropriately rated cable in bulk. If your installation environment does not require shielding and you prioritise cost savings or greater flexibility, an unshielded Cat6A or Cat6 cable may be more appropriate. Also, ensure both ends and connected equipment support shielded connections and proper grounding to realise the shielding benefits.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6A
• Cabling topology: S/FTP (overall braid plus foil around each pair)
• Shielding: Double shielded
• Jacket material: Halogen‑free
• Color: White
• Length: 1.0 m
• Performance: Suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your switch, router or patch panel and the other into the destination device such as a server or workstation. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and runs parallel to potential sources of interference where possible. For shielded installations, make sure the connected devices or patch panels provide appropriate shield termination and grounding to benefit from the S/FTP construction. Use the 1.0 m length for tidy connections inside racks or between adjacent devices.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm required length; 1.0 m is suited for short connections only
• Check if your infrastructure and devices support shielded cabling and grounding
• Verify that Category 6A performance is necessary for your network speeds and future requirements

Usage recommendations

Use this S‑Conn Cat6A S/FTP 1.0 m patch cable for short, high‑performance connections in shielded rack and patch environments; ensure proper termination and grounding to maximise noise immunity and maintain Category 6A signal integrity.
