Networking cable Sharkoon Cat.6a SFTP RJ-45 Cat6a 0.5m Green

The Sharkoon Cat.6a SFTP RJ-45 Cat6a 0.5m Green networking cable is a short patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in local networks. With a half-meter length and S/FTP shielding, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk while providing a reliable RJ-45 connection for devices that support Cat6a performance levels. Its compact length is suitable for tidy, space-saving connections between network equipment in racks, desktops, or home setups, and the green jacket helps identify or colour-code connections.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding around the twisted pairs and overall foil protection improve signal integrity and reduce noise from adjacent cables and electronic devices. The Cat6a specification supports higher bandwidth and improved performance compared with Cat5e and Cat6 at short distances. Robust RJ-45 connectors ensure a secure mechanical and electrical connection, while the 0.5 m length minimizes excess cable clutter and potential signal degradation caused by long patch runs.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, patch panels, and servers
• Connecting network interface cards (NICs) to nearby routers or hubs
• Tidy cable runs in small workstations, AV cabinets, or home offices
• Colour-coded network segments or temporary test setups

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a (augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield plus foil-shielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Green
• Application: Ethernet networking, up to Cat6a performance

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks, ensuring a proper mechanical and electrical connection. Use the cable for short-distance links where a 0.5 m patch cable is sufficient; avoid stretching the cable or bending it sharply near the connector to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. For installations in racks or dense equipment areas, route the cable to prevent strain on the connectors and to maintain the shielding effectiveness.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short links within the same rack or between closely positioned devices. Maintain gentle bend radii, avoid running the cable alongside high-power mains or unshielded electrical wiring, and use colour-coding to simplify network identification and maintenance.
