Helos CAT6a S/FTP (PIMF) Network Cable 1m

The Helos CAT6a S/FTP (PIMF) 1m networking cable is a one-meter Ethernet cable designed for 10GBase-T networks. It uses S/FTP (shielded foil with individually shielded pairs / PIMF) construction and features RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is finished in grey for a neutral appearance in structured cabling installations.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP (PIMF) design reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, helping maintain signal integrity in environments with multiple cables or electronic equipment. Compatibility with 10GBase-T provides headroom for high-bandwidth applications while the 1 m length offers a tidy, low-latency connection between nearby devices. Factory-terminated RJ-45 connectors ensure plug-and-play installation without additional tools.

Suitable for

• Connecting a desktop or server to a nearby network switch or patch panel
• Short runs in rack or cabinet environments where shielding is preferred
• High-bandwidth applications such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet, media streaming, and data transfers
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference from other equipment

• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Product colour: Grey

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network interface of your device (computer, server or switch) and the other RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port on a switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully seated until they click to establish a reliable mechanical and electrical connection. Use the 1 m length for short point-to-point connections to minimize excess cable and maintain tidy cable management.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid tightly bending the cable near the connectors and maintain the manufacturer's recommended bend radius. Keep the cable routed separately from high-voltage power lines where possible and use shielded ports or properly grounded patch panels to make full use of the S/FTP shielding.
