S-Conn Patch Cable Cat.6A S/FTP Double Shielded Halogen-Free Yellow 3.0 m

The S-Conn Patch Cable Cat.6A S/FTP Double Shielded Halogen-Free Yellow 3.0 m is a Category 6A patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet networks. With S/FTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair) double shielding and halogen-free materials, this 3.0 m yellow cable supports 10 Gbps-capable transmission and is GHMT-certified for performance, making it suitable for professional LAN installations, server rooms, racks and switches where predictable, low-interference connectivity is required.

Advantages

Double shielding (S/FTP) reduces electromagnetic interference from adjacent cables and equipment, helping maintain signal integrity at higher frequencies. The halogen-free jacket reduces the release of corrosive and toxic gases in case of fire, improving safety in confined installations. The cable’s Cat.6A specification and GHMT certification ensure compliance with performance standards for 10 Gbps networks and structured cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Server rooms and data centres requiring 10 Gbps-capable links
• Racks and patch panels in structured cabling systems
• Connections between switches, routers and network endpoints
• Environments where reduced fire-toxicity materials are preferred

When it may not be suitable

This Cat.6A S/FTP cable is intended for copper Ethernet connections and may be unnecessary for networks that operate at lower speeds (e.g., 100 Mbps) where Cat.5e or Cat.6 cables would suffice. It may also be oversized for short, informal home runs where high shielding and halogen-free properties are not required.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A (10 Gbps capable)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually foiled pairs)
• Length: 3.0 m
• Jacket material: halogen-free
• Colour: yellow
• Typical application: structured LAN, server racks, switch interconnects

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of a switch, router or patch panel and the other into the target device or patch panel port. Ensure connectors are fully seated and that cable routing avoids sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For rack installations, use appropriate cable management to maintain bend radius and reduce mechanical strain on connectors. Test connections with a network tester or verify link status on network equipment to confirm proper operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify required network speed and whether 10 Gbps capability is needed
• Check connector compatibility and port clearance in racks or devices
• Consider cable length and routing to avoid excess slack or tension
• Decide if halogen-free jacket and double shielding are necessary for your environment

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbps links, keep cable runs within recommended lengths for copper Ethernet, avoid kinking or tight bends, and use proper cable management in racks. When installing in shared or sensitive areas, the halogen-free jacket and double shielding provide added safety and reduced interference; pair the cable with compatible shielded connectors and properly grounded patch panels to maximise shielding effectiveness.
