Network cable Triton Cat.6A S/FTP Locking, 5 m, RJ-45–RJ-45, grey

The Triton Network cable Cat.6A S/FTP Locking, 5 m, RJ-45–RJ-45, grey is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed LANs and 10 Gigabit Ethernet. It uses S/FTP shielding (overall braid plus foil for each twisted pair) to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supports transmission frequencies up to 500 MHz, and features locking RJ-45 connectors with a supplied key for controlled physical access. The cable is constructed with gold-plated contacts for long-term reliable signal transfer and a snagless strain relief to protect the connector latch during installation and removal.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction provides robust protection against EMI and pair-to-pair crosstalk, helping maintain signal integrity at higher data rates. Locking RJ-45 connectors increase physical security by preventing accidental or unauthorized disconnection; removal is possible only with the matching key. Gold-plated contacts offer corrosion resistance and consistent conductivity, while the snagless design reduces the risk of connector damage during handling. The LSZH sheath material minimizes smoke and toxic halogen emissions in case of fire, making the cable suitable for use in public and shared spaces.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbones and high-speed LAN connections
• Server rooms, data cabinets and rack-mounted network equipment
• Switch-to-switch and switch-to-router links in professional network installations
• Environments where physical cable security is required to prevent tampering or accidental unplugging

How to use

Connect each RJ-45 plug to the corresponding network ports on switches, routers, servers or network interface cards. Ensure the locking clip engages fully to secure the connection; use the supplied key to unlock and remove the plug when necessary. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain bend radii recommended for Ethernet cables to preserve performance. For installations in cabinets or rack systems, secure the cable with appropriate cable management accessories to reduce tension on connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat.6A S/FTP locking cable for critical links where uninterrupted connection and physical security are required. Avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimize EMI; maintain separation from strong electromagnetic sources and follow standard cabling practice for grounding and shield termination.
