Helos 263743 Network Cable Grey 2m Cat6a S/FTP

The Helos 263743 Grey 2m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable is a 2-meter Ethernet cable built to Cat6a performance with S/FTP shielding. It delivers high-speed data transmission for wired connections and includes RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to maintain reliable conductivity and resist corrosion. The grey jacket provides a neutral aesthetic suitable for residential and business network installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding around the twisted pairs and an overall foil shield reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity at higher frequencies. Cat6a specification supports greater bandwidth and stable performance for demanding applications. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors offer consistent electrical contact and increased durability over time. The 2 m length balances reach and neat cable management for desktop, cabinet, and shelf connections.

Suitable for

• Wired connections between PCs, switches, routers and networked peripherals
• High-bandwidth home or office networks including streaming and large file transfers
• Patch connections in network cabinets and wall outlets
• Environments requiring reduced interference for improved link stability

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (individual pair foil + overall braid/foil)
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector fully into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices until the latch clicks. Use the 2 m cable to connect computers, switches, routers or patch panels where short to medium reach is required. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp kinks; maintain gentle radius curves near equipment and through cable management points. For permanent installations, secure the cable along racks or trays with appropriate ties, avoiding excessive compression on the connector ends.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the Helos Cat6a S/FTP cable in shielded or grounded installations where possible, and avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines. Test links after installation with a network tester to verify continuity and performance, especially for critical or high-bandwidth connections.
