Netwerkkabel Helos CAT6 S/FTP (PIMF) 1,5 m

The Helos CAT6 S/FTP (PIMF) 1.5m networking cable is a grey, 1.5 metre patch cable designed to meet Cat6 performance requirements. It uses SF/UTP (S/FTP, PIMF) shielding to protect each twisted pair and the overall cable from external electromagnetic interference, and is fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends for straightforward connection to routers, switches, network interfaces and patch panels. The cable supports wired Ethernet speeds commonly used in home and office networks and is intended for short-run connections where Cat6 bandwidth and reduced crosstalk are needed.

Advantages

Shielding on each twisted pair combined with an overall shield reduces susceptibility to noise and helps maintain stable signal integrity in environments with potential interference. The Cat6 specification enables reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance over typical LAN distances, and the pre-terminated RJ-45 plugs allow quick installation without tools. The 1.5 m length offers a compact, tidy connection between nearby devices while the grey jacket blends with most office and home setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in home or small office networks
• Patch connections between wall outlets and network devices
• Short-distance Gigabit Ethernet links where shielding is desired

When it may not be suitable

This 1.5 m cable is not intended for long-distance backbone runs or installations that require custom cable lengths. In environments that do not experience electromagnetic interference, an unshielded Cat6 cable may offer similar performance at potentially lower cost. The cable is designed for standard RJ-45 ports and will not be compatible with non-Ethernet connectors without adapters.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.5 m
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X) (Cat6 performance)
• Shielding: SF/UTP (S/FTP) with pairwise and overall shield, PIMF construction
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 on both ends
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices, ensuring connectors click into place. Use the cable for connecting networked devices within the 1.5 m distance; avoid sharp bends or kinks and route the cable away from high-power electrical sources to preserve shielding effectiveness. For best results, verify link speed and duplex settings on your devices after connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and whether 1.5 m is sufficient for your setup
• Whether shielded cable is necessary given your environment and nearby sources of interference
• Compatibility with your network hardware's RJ-45 ports

Recommendations

For stable Gigabit performance, use this Helos CAT6 S/FTP cable for short patch runs and keep it untensioned and free from tight bends. In installations with strong EMI sources, ensure metal connectors are properly grounded via equipment chassis to maximize shielding benefits.
