Καλώδιο δικτύου Helos S/FTP (PIMF) CAT 6a 20m

The Helos S/FTP (PIMF) CAT 6a networking cable 20m is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for 10GBase-T networks and high-speed data transfer. With a 20 meter length and RJ-45 connectors on both ends, this blue cable provides a reliable physical link between switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices. The S/FTP (screened with foil over each pair and overall braid) construction reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting data transfer rates up to 10,000 Mbit/s for demanding wired installations.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP (PIMF) shielding improves signal integrity in environments with multiple cables or electrical noise sources, helping to maintain consistent throughput. Built to meet CAT 6a performance, it supports 10GBase-T applications over its 20 m length while RJ-45 terminations ensure broad compatibility with standard network equipment. The 20 m reach simplifies cable routing in medium-sized rooms, server closets and office layouts without additional joins that could degrade performance.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office and server-room environments
• High-speed wired workstations and desktop PCs requiring up to 10 Gbit/s
• Structured cabling runs within offices, meeting rooms and small data closets
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cable is preferred

Key specifications

• Cabling standard: CAT 6a

• Data rate: up to 10,000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Length: 20 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Intended technology: 10GBase-T
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of a switch, router or wall outlet and the other to the device requiring network access. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and the clip locks to prevent accidental disconnection. For best performance, avoid tight bends and kinks; maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius and do not route the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines. Use cable management elements such as ties and trays to maintain neat runs and reduce mechanical strain on connectors.

Recommendations

Install this CAT 6a S/FTP cable where shielded cabling will reduce interference, for example near power supplies, industrial equipment, or dense cable bundles. Test links after installation with appropriate network certification tools if guaranteed performance metrics are required. For permanent or in-wall installations, follow local building codes and use appropriate conduit or plenum-rated variants if necessary.
