Cable patch Equip Cat.6A S/FTP RJ-45 0,25 m rojo

The Equip Cat.6A S/FTP Patch Cable 0.25m in red is a short, high-performance network patch cord designed for 10GBase-T environments. It uses RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts and S/FTP shielding to minimise electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity. With a rated data transfer capability up to 10000 Mbit/s and a compact 0.25 m length, this cable is intended for short links in racks, patch panels, or between closely located devices where durable, low-noise connectivity is required.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction provides both overall screening and individually shielded pairs, improving resistance to crosstalk and external noise compared with unshielded alternatives. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts enhance conductivity and corrosion resistance for reliable electrical contact. The Cat.6A specification supports higher bandwidth and a better signal-to-noise margin, enabling stable 10GBase-T performance in dense or electrically noisy installations. Its short 0.25 m length reduces cable clutter and signal attenuation at patch points.

Suitable for

• Connecting network equipment in server racks and patch panels over short distances
• High-speed 10GBase-T links between switches, routers and NICs located close together
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and improved signal integrity
• Color-coded cabling schemes where a red patch lead is used for identification

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.25 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Cabling technology: 10GBase-T (Cat.6A)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall screen plus individually screened pairs)
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Weight: 0.016 kg
• Colour: Red

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks, ensuring secure mechanical and electrical connection. Use the 0.25 m length for connections between nearby devices such as switch ports and patch panels to minimise cable slack. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive mechanical stress; maintain proper bend radius near connector boots. For best performance, ensure both ends are connected to equipment supporting Cat.6A or 10GBase-T where required.

Recommendations

For optimal signal quality, avoid running the shielded patch cord parallel to high-voltage power lines and maintain proper grounding of rack and patch panel enclosures when used in shielded installations. Use color-coded leads like this red cable to simplify identification of critical 10G links in dense cabling environments.
