Netwerkkabel Helos CAT6 S/FTP (PIMF) 1m geel

The Helos CAT6 S/FTP (PIMF) networking cable 1m Yellow is a one-metre patch cable designed for structured cabling and point-to-point connections in local area networks. It complies with the Cat6 standard and uses S/FTP (shielded foil over each pair plus braided overall) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors, providing plug-and-play compatibility with switches, routers, patch panels and network interfaces. The yellow jacket improves visibility for cable management and identification in racks and office environments.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP construction improves signal integrity in environments with elevated electromagnetic noise and supports stable Gigabit Ethernet transmission. Cat6 specifications enable higher frequency performance compared with earlier categories, making the cable suitable for current wired networks. A one-metre length reduces excess cable slack in patching scenarios, while the RJ-45 terminations ensure broad device compatibility. The bright yellow outer sheath simplifies visual organization and fault tracing within cable bundles and patch fields.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between wall outlets, switches and patch panels in office or data centre racks
• Direct device connections where a short, high-quality link is required (PCs, IP phones, access points)
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference that benefit from shielded cabling
• Cabled setups where colour-coding is used for network segmentation or management

Key specifications

• Cabling standard: Category 6 (Cat6)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braided shield with foil around each twisted pair)
• Length: 1 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Data rate support: up to Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T(X))
• Outer colour: Yellow
• Typical application: Ethernet networking and structured patching

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of your device and the other RJ-45 plug to the switch, router or patch panel port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. For best results, avoid sharp bends and kinks in the cable and keep the cable length appropriate for the run to minimize excess slack. When used in shielded installations, ensure proper grounding of the network equipment and the patch panel to maintain the shield effectiveness.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m shielded Cat6 cable for short patching runs where good EMI protection and clear colour coding are required. Maintain proper bend radius and avoid mechanical strain on the RJ-45 connectors. For long horizontal runs or PoE equipment verify power and distance requirements against installation standards.
