Cables Direct 2m Grey Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) RJ45 Male to Male Ethernet Network Cable

Cables Direct Cat6a – Premium Network Connectivity

The Cables Direct 2m Grey Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) RJ45 Male to Male Ethernet Network Cable is ideal for demanding network environments. We designed it for users who require reliable, high-speed data transfer. This cable provides robust performance for your home or office setup.

Essential Specifications

Maximising Your Network Speed

This Cat6a cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet. This means you can achieve data transfer rates up to 10,000 Mbit/s. It is ten times faster than standard Gigabit Ethernet. This capability ensures smooth streaming, rapid downloads, and efficient data backups.

Enhanced Signal Integrity

The S/FTP (Screened and Foil Twisted Pair) shielding protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI). Each twisted pair is individually foil-shielded. An overall outer braid then covers these. This design minimises crosstalk and ensures a stable connection.

Durable and Reliable Connections

The RJ45 connectors feature gold plating. Gold offers excellent corrosion resistance and improved conductivity. This helps maintain a consistent, high-quality signal over time. Our snagless connectors also protect the locking clip from damage during installation.

Safe and Practical Design

This cable incorporates Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) materials. In the event of a fire, LSZH cables emit reduced levels of toxic and corrosive gas. This makes them a safer choice for enclosed spaces. Flush moulded strain relief allows for tight installations in high-density network switches.

Before You Order

• Confirm your devices have RJ45 Ethernet ports.
• Check that your network hardware supports Cat6a for optimal performance.
• Consider the 2m length is suitable for your intended setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
