Product Information

Full details

The Cablenet Category6a 2m S/FTP patch lead is designed for professional IT installers and data center managers who require high-performance, shielded connectivity that supports demanding Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. Featuring S/FTP shielding and LSOH jacketing, this cable ensures minimal signal interference and enhanced safety for high-density network environments; however, its 26AWG construction makes it less flexible than thicker conductor cables, requiring careful routing in tight spaces.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these cables suitable for outdoor use?

No, these cables are designed for indoor use only and are not UV-rated or weather-resistant.

What is the benefit of S/FTP shielding?

S/FTP (Screened Fully shielded Twisted Pair) provides dual layers of protection that virtually eliminate crosstalk and interference, essential for maintaining 10Gbps speeds.

Does this cable support 10GBASE-T?

Yes, as a Category6a cable, it is specifically designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters.

What does LSOH stand for?

LSOH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen, a jacket material that releases minimal toxic smoke in the event of a fire.

Can I use these for standard home networking?

Yes, they are backward compatible with all previous Ethernet standards and will work perfectly for home routers, PCs, and gaming consoles.

What is the AWG rating of these cables?

These cables use 26AWG stranded copper conductors.

Troubleshooting

Intermittent connectivity or link dropouts

Check the RJ45 port for debris and ensure the connector is fully seated until a click is heard.

PoE device fails to power on

Verify that your switch port is configured for the required IEEE 802.3bt standard and that the total power budget of the switch has not been exceeded.

Slow network speeds

Ensure the cable has not been tightly kinked or crushed, as physical damage to the internal wire twists will drop the performance from Cat6a to lower standards.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports high-power PoE++ (4PPoE) applications
  • Excellent signal protection via S/FTP shielding
  • Durable snagless boot design prevents damage
  • Manufactured to strict international performance standards
  • Safe LSOH material suitable for building regulations

Cons

  • Not intended for outdoor environmental exposure
  • 26AWG wire is slightly less robust than 24AWG for long-distance runs
  • Bulk pack of 10 may be more than required for smaller residential setups

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal performance, ensure that all patch panels and switches are properly grounded, as the S/FTP shielding relies on effective grounding to dissipate interference. When installing, avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius of the 5.8mm outer diameter cable to prevent micro-fractures in the internal conductors. Because these cables are LSOH, they are ideal for indoor installations requiring strict fire safety compliance. To maintain longevity, use the included snagless boots when pulling cables through cable management fingers; avoid using excessive force or staples that could compress the twisted pairs and degrade signal quality.
