Cables Direct 0.5m Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) RJ45 to RJ45 LSZH Networking Cable Red

Cables Direct Cat6a – Reliable 10 Gigabit Networking

We offer the Cables Direct 0.5m Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) RJ45 to RJ45 LSZH Networking Cable Red for robust, high-speed network connections. This cable is ideal for home office users or small businesses needing dependable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance. Its advanced shielding protects your data from interference.

Essential Specifications

Enhanced Signal Integrity

Each twisted pair within this cable is individually foil-shielded. An additional overall braid screen further protects the entire cable. This S/FTP (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair) construction effectively blocks electromagnetic interference (EMI). So, your network signals remain clear and stable, even in busy environments.

Fire Safety Compliance

This cable features a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) outer jacket. In the event of a fire, LSZH materials produce minimal smoke and no toxic halogen gases. This makes it a safer choice for enclosed public spaces and ensures compliance with strict safety regulations.

High-Density Connectivity

The connectors on this cable feature a flush moulded strain relief design. This allows for closer spacing of cables in high-density network switches. You can easily plug in multiple cables side-by-side without obstruction. This design also prevents cable damage from bending.

Protected Connectors

Snagless connectors are a practical feature. A protective “bubble” covers the RJ45 locking clip. This prevents the clip from breaking off during installation or transport. Therefore, your connections remain secure and reliable over time.

Before You Connect

• Confirm your equipment supports RJ45 Ethernet connections.
• Confirm your setup benefits from Cat6a 10 Gigabit speeds.
• Confirm the 0.5-metre length meets your specific installation needs.
