What Is a CAT6A S/FTP RJ45 Patch Cord?
The 7241011 CAT6A S/FTP patch cord provides shielded RJ45 connections between patch panels, switches, servers, routers and compatible network equipment. Its shielded construction is intended for installations where electromagnetic-noise control and shield continuity are part of the channel design.
The cord is specified for 500 MHz and 10GBASE-T operation, with production testing on a CAT6A channel up to 600 MHz. The 28 AWG stranded-copper design supports flexible cabinet routing in data centers and mission-critical network environments.
Connector and Cable Construction
Polycarbonate RJ45 plugs use nickel-plated copper-alloy shielding for a shielded equipment interface.
Phosphor-bronze blades use 50 microinch gold over nickel plating at the front connection.
The protective boot helps guard the latch and reduce bending stress during patching and maintenance.
Key Benefits
Designed for CAT6A channels operating at 500 MHz and 10GBASE-T network connections.
S/FTP construction supports noise-control strategies when installed in a properly bonded shielded system.
Stranded copper conductors support routine cabinet patching and high-density cable routing.
The snagless boot reduces latch damage during moves, additions and maintenance.
Listed order codes cover common rack and equipment-room lengths from 0.5 to 20 m.
Color, length, cable printing, logos, labels, packing and strain relief can be discussed for volume orders.
Applications
- Patch-panel to switch links in shielded CAT6A cabinets.
- Server and switch interconnection in data centers.
- Enterprise equipment rooms and mission-critical networks.
- 10GBASE-T routers, switches, servers and compatible appliances.
- HDBaseT, ATM, CATV and IP-device links where the complete system design is compatible.
Length and Product-Code Options
Selection Guide
Use shielded jacks, patch panels and equipment interfaces when shield continuity is required.
Choose the shortest practical finished length that supports bend radius, routing and service loops.
Specify LSZH or other required material, cable color, labeling and local fire-performance requirements.
