Helos CAT6 S/FTP (PIMF) Network Cable 2m

The Helos CAT6 S/FTP (PIMF) 2m networking cable is a 2 metre blue patch lead designed for gigabit Ethernet and structured cabling environments. It features S/FTP (also described as PIMF) shielding and RJ‑45 connectors on both ends to ensure stable data transmission and improved protection against electromagnetic interference. This cable is intended for short runs between switches, routers, patch panels and network devices in home or office networks.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding provides individual foil around each twisted pair plus an overall shield, reducing crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded cables. Using CAT6 cabling technology, the cable supports 10/100/1000Base‑T(X) data rates suitable for gigabit networks. The 2 m length and standard RJ‑45 terminations make installation straightforward without special tools, while the blue jacket offers easy visual identification within cable bundles.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 m
• Connector type: RJ‑45 — both ends
• Cabling standard: CAT6
• Shielding: S/FTP (pairs individually foil‑shielded with an overall shield)
• Supported data rates: 10/100/1000Base‑T(X)
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 connector to your network device (switch, router, PC) and the other to the corresponding port on the destination device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as large power transformers or unshielded power cables. For best performance, keep the cable length within the specified 2 m and avoid knotting or crushing the jacket.

Recommendations

For optimal results use this CAT6 S/FTP cable in shielded or mixed‑environment installations where reduced interference is required. Combine with shielded connectors and grounded patch panels when deploying in environments with high EMI. Regularly inspect connectors for damage and replace the cable if the jacket or RJ‑45 plugs show visible wear.
