Cables Direct 2m Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) RJ45 Male to Male LSZH Ethernet Cable – Blue

Cables Direct Cat6a S/FTP – Robust 10 Gigabit Connectivity

The Cables Direct 2m Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) RJ45 Male to Male LSZH Ethernet Cable – Blue is engineered for demanding network environments. We recommend this cable for users requiring high-speed, reliable connections over a 2-metre distance. Its advanced shielding ensures optimal performance in areas prone to electromagnetic interference.

Essential Specifications

Enhanced Data Integrity

This Cat6a cable features S/FTP (Screened and Foil Twisted Pair) shielding. Each twisted pair is individually foiled, and an overall screen provides additional protection. This design effectively minimises electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring stable and fast data transmission.

Safety in Critical Environments

The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket is a crucial safety feature. In the event of a fire, it significantly reduces the emission of toxic and corrosive gases. This makes the cable suitable for public buildings and sensitive IT installations.

High-Speed Network Capabilities

Experience networking at 10 Gigabit speeds with this Cat6a cable. It supports 10GBASE-T, delivering data transfer rates up to 10 times faster than standard Gigabit Ethernet. This capability is essential for large file transfers and high-bandwidth applications.

Durable and User-Friendly Design

Our cables feature snagless connectors with a protective bubble. This safeguards the RJ45 locking clip during installation and retrieval. Flush moulded strain relief also allows for dense cable routing without compromising cable integrity or performance.

Before You Order

• Confirm your equipment supports Cat6a for optimal performance.
• Ensure a 2-metre cable length is sufficient for your setup.
• Check that blue is the preferred colour for your cable management scheme.
