Network cable S-Conn 75712-W Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) RJ-45 to RJ-45 2 m White

S-Conn 75712-W is a 2 m Cat6a network patch cable with S/FTP (S-STP) shielding and gold-plated contacts on RJ-45 connectors, intended for high-speed Ethernet including 10 Gigabit networks. The cable combines an overall braided shield with individually shielded twisted pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity in home, office and rack installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction provides enhanced protection against crosstalk and external interference compared to unshielded cables. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve corrosion resistance and ensure reliable connectivity. At 2 m length and with Cat6a specification, the cable supports higher data rates while remaining flexible for typical patching between devices and rack panels.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and patch panels
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within racks and data cabinets
• Office and home network connections between devices
• Short to medium patching runs in structured cabling

When it may not be suitable

This 2 m patch cable is not intended for long-distance backbone runs between floors or buildings; for those applications you should use permanent cabling or fiber solutions designed for longer distances. It is also unnecessary for networks that do not benefit from shielded cables (for example, simple home setups with minimal electromagnetic interference), where an unshielded Cat5e or Cat6 cable may suffice.

Key specifications

• Length: 2 m
• Standard: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually shielded twisted pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Colour: White

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into your network device (router, switch or NIC) and the other into the corresponding port on the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. For best performance keep the cable runs away from strong electromagnetic sources and avoid sharp bends or excessive tension that could damage the shielding or conductors.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and whether 2 m is sufficient for your setup
• Whether shielded cable is necessary depending on local electromagnetic environment
• Compatibility of RJ-45 connectors with your devices and patch panels

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6a S-Conn patch cable for short to medium connections in environments where reduced interference and 10 Gigabit capability are needed; route it cleanly in racks and avoid tight bends to preserve shielding and performance.
