Helos 263783 Network Cable Yellow 10m Cat6a S/FTP

The Helos 263783 Yellow 10m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable is a 10 metre Ethernet cable engineered for high-speed data transfer and reliable signal integrity. Built to Cat6a specifications with S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) construction and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, the cable is intended for installations where reduced interference and consistent performance are required. The yellow jacket improves visibility and cable management in crowded racks, offices, or home networks.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding minimizes alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, helping maintain stable gigabit and 10GBASE-T connections over the full 10 m length. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide corrosion resistance and improved contact conductivity. The Cat6a design supports higher bandwidth and better pair separation than lower categories, while the bright yellow sheath simplifies identification and routing in multi-cable environments.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within data centres, server rooms, and offices
• High-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, large file transfers, and virtualization
• Structured cabling runs where interference protection is required
• Visible cable identification in multi-cable installations and colour-coded networks

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded overall with foiled twisted pairs)
• Length: 10 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Connector plating: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: yellow

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network device (router, switch, or network interface) and the other to the target device. Ensure connectors are fully seated until they click to establish a secure link. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, sharp edges, and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate clips or cable ties while maintaining the recommended bend radius for Cat6a cables.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and keep a reasonable distance from large electrical equipment. Test the link speed after installation to verify 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps operation as required by your network equipment. Replace connectors or cables that show visible damage to maintain signal integrity.
