helos Cat6a S/FTP Ethernet patch cable 3.0m purple

helos Ethernet patch cable Cat6a S/FTP 3.0m in purple is a shielded network cable engineered for stable high‑speed connections in LAN, office and data centre environments. The cable meets Category 6a performance criteria and features S/FTP shielding (overall braid with individually foiled pairs) to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. A 3.0 metre length and distinct purple jacket make this patch cable convenient for rack, patch panel and workstation routing while maintaining support for 10 Gbps applications over copper links.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction provides robust protection against alien crosstalk and EMI, improving signal integrity in dense cable environments. Category 6a specification ensures capability for 10 Gbps Ethernet at typical channel lengths, with improved headroom compared to lower categories. The 3.0 m length is suitable for short patch runs between panels and devices, and the coloured jacket simplifies visual identification and cable management in multi‑cable installations.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbps Ethernet patching between switches, servers and patch panels
• Office workstation connections to wall outlets or switches
• Data centre horizontal and rack patching where reduced interference is required
• Structured cabling environments needing clear cable identification

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (Category 6a performance)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foiled pairs)
• Length: 3.0 metres
• Connector type: RJ45 to RJ45 (8P8C)
• Data rate support: up to 10 Gbps over suitable channel lengths
• Conductor: stranded or solid copper depending on patch cable construction (designed for patching)
• Jacket colour: purple for easy identification

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device (switch, patch panel, server or wall outlet) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the paired device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and locked by the plug latch. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, crushing or prolonged exposure to sources of strong electromagnetic fields. For rack or patch panel installations, use appropriate cable management such as horizontal managers or Velcro ties to maintain bend radius and organised pathways.

Recommendations

Use this helos Cat6a S/FTP 3.0m patch cable for short patch runs where 10 Gbps capability and enhanced shielding are required. Avoid kinking the cable and maintain manufacturer‑recommended bend radius; keep separation from high‑power electrical cabling where possible to minimise interference.
