Patch Cable S-Conn Cat.6A S/FTP Double Shielded Halogen-Free Black 7.5 m

S-Conn Cat.6A S/FTP Double Shielded Halogen-Free Black 7.5 m is a network patch cable built for high-frequency data transmission and 10 Gigabit Ethernet environments. The cable features individually foil-shielded twisted pairs plus an overall braided shield to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk. Constructed from halogen-free materials and finished in black, the 7.5 meter length is suitable for connections between patch panels, switches, servers and end devices within structured cabling systems and rack installations.

Advantages

This Cat.6A S/FTP patch cable delivers improved signal integrity for high-speed networks by combining pair-level foil shielding with an overall braid, which reduces external interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk. The halogen-free jacket lowers the risk of toxic gas emission in case of fire, making the cable appropriate for installations with stricter fire-safety requirements. Its 7.5 m length provides flexibility for mid-range connections in server rooms and office environments while the black jacket offers a discreet appearance for visible runs.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in LAN environments
• Connections between switches, patch panels and servers in racks
• Structured cabling installations requiring enhanced shielding
• Environments with requirements for low-halogen materials and reduced emissions

When it may not be suitable

The S-Conn Cat.6A S/FTP cable is optimized for high-speed copper Ethernet links and shielded installations; it is not a replacement for fibre-optic cabling where longer distance or immunity to electromagnetic interference is required. For short desktop patching where shielding and halogen-free materials are unnecessary, a simpler unshielded Cat6 or Cat6A cable may be a more cost-effective option.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6A
• Shielding: S/FTP — individually foil-shielded pairs plus overall braided shield
• Jacket material: halogen-free
• Length: 7.5 m
• Color: black
• Designed for: 10 Gigabit Ethernet and high-frequency data transmission

How to use

Install the patch cable by connecting RJ45 terminated ends between network devices such as switches, patch panels and servers. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and proximity to strong EMI sources where possible; maintain recommended bend radius and avoid excessive pulling force during installation. Use the 7.5 m length to bridge mid-distance connections within racks or between adjacent equipment rows, and label both ends if needed for easier identification in structured cabling setups.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your installation benefits from shielded cabling and that terminated equipment supports shielded RJ45 connections.
• Confirm that a 7.5 m cable length suits rack and patch panel spacing in your environment.
• Ensure halogen-free jacket properties meet local fire-safety or building-code requirements if applicable.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, terminate and ground shields according to your site’s cabling standard and use shielded patch panels and connectors where the S/FTP shielding is required. Avoid running parallel to power-heavy cables and maintain proper slack and bend radius to preserve signal integrity.
