Netwerkkabel Helos 263740 grijs 0,25 m Cat6a S/FTP

The Helos 263740 Grey 0.25 m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable is designed for short-distance, high-speed Ethernet connections. It complies with Cat6a performance parameters and uses S/FTP (shielded foiled twisted pair) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and improve signal integrity. Both ends are equipped with RJ-45 connectors plated in gold to maintain reliable contact and resist corrosion over time. The compact 0.25 m length and grey jacket make this cable suitable for tidy connections in patch panels, server racks, and desktop networking where minimal slack is required.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding offers enhanced protection against crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded cables, supporting stable data transfer at higher frequencies. The Cat6a specification allows for improved bandwidth and reduced attenuation for applications that demand consistent throughput. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact durability and reduce oxidation, while the short 0.25 m length minimizes signal loss and clutter in localized setups. The grey outer jacket provides a neutral appearance that integrates with common networking environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting devices across short distances in patch panels or switch-to-device links
• Server rack internal connections where minimal cable length is preferred
• Desk or workstation setups requiring a tidy, short Ethernet connection
• Applications that need Cat6a bandwidth and reduced electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with foil on pairs)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Ensure both networking devices are powered down or that hot-plugging is supported by your equipment. Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks into place. Route the 0.25 m cable to avoid sharp bends or compression points; keep the cable away from large sources of electromagnetic noise when possible. Verify link status via device LEDs or network diagnostics to confirm a successful physical connection. For disconnection, depress the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid damaging the plug or port.

Recommendations

Use this short Cat6a S/FTP cable for clean, direct connections in patch panels, switches, or servers where cable length should be minimal. Avoid excessive bending at the connector ends and prevent repeated stress on the latch to maintain long-term reliability. For longer runs, choose appropriately rated Cat6a cables sized to the required distance to preserve signal integrity.
