Helos S/FTP (PIMF) CAT 6a Network Cable 2m

The Helos S/FTP (PIMF) CAT 6a 2m networking cable is a 2-meter yellow patch cable designed for 10GBase-T Ethernet connections. Constructed with S/FTP shielding and pair-in-metal-foil (PIMF) design, this cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk to support stable data transfers up to 10000 Mbit/s. Both ends are fitted with standard RJ-45 connectors, making the cable compatible with a wide range of switches, routers, network interface cards and patch panels in home and office environments.

Advantages

S/FTP (shielded foil around each twisted pair plus an overall braid) and PIMF construction provide improved protection against external noise and adjacent-pair interference compared with unshielded cables. The CAT 6a specification enables reliable 10GBase-T performance over short to moderate distances. A 2 m length offers a compact solution for desktop, rack and closet connections while the yellow jacket improves visibility for cable management. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure plug-and-play compatibility with common networking equipment.

Suitable for

• 10GBase-T connections between switches, servers and high-performance workstations
• Patch panel to switch or switch-to-switch short links in server rooms and network racks
• High-bandwidth home networks for streaming, gaming and large file transfers
• Workstation connections where reduced interference and clear cable identification are required

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 m
• Cabling technology: 10GBase-T (CAT 6a)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with foil on each pair) / PIMF
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 on both ends
• Maximum data rate: 10000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Yellow

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices until the latch clicks. Use the cable for direct device-to-device links, patch panel to switch connections or short in-rack runs. Ensure connectors are fully seated and avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable to maintain performance. For installations in shielded environments, ensure proper grounding of connected equipment to allow the cable shielding to function effectively.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep the cable length within the specified 2 m and avoid running the cable parallel to high-power electrical lines. Use the yellow jacket to separate and label critical links in racks or behind desks. When terminating into shielded ports or panels, verify metal-to-metal contact for proper shielding continuity.
