Helos Cat 6a S/FTP Network Cable 0.5 m

The Helos Cat 6a S/FTP 0.5 m networking cable is a short patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in local area networks. With a bandwidth rating up to 500 MHz and enhanced S/FTP shielding, this 0.5 m cable supports demanding applications that require stable connections and reduced electromagnetic interference. The cable's blue jacket provides a clear visual identifier in structured cabling installations and small network setups.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction delivers overall foil shielding with individually shielded twisted pairs, reducing crosstalk and external interference for consistent signal integrity. A 500 MHz bandwidth rating enables support for 10 Gbps Ethernet over short distances and ensures headroom for high-throughput services. The compact 0.5 m length minimizes excess cable management in patch panels and desktop connections while RJ-45 connectors provide universal compatibility with network devices. The blue color simplifies cable identification within racks, wall plates, or workstations.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, patch panels and wall ports
• Desktop or server rack connections where minimal cable length is required
• High-speed applications such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet within short runs
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and improved crosstalk protection

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually shielded pairs)
• Bandwidth: up to 500 MHz
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Color: blue

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device or wall port and the other plug to the switch, router, or patch panel. Ensure connectors click securely into place for proper contact. Use the 0.5 m cable where short, direct connections are required to avoid excess slack and maintain tidy cabling. Verify network settings and link status on connected devices to confirm successful establishment of the link.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid tight bends or prolonged compression of the cable and keep it away from high-voltage power sources to reduce potential interference. Use this short-length Cat 6a S/FTP cable for internal patching and short runs that demand high bandwidth and shielding; for longer runs, select appropriately rated cabling to maintain signal performance.
