Cables Direct 0.5m (ART-100Y) CAT6a M - M S/FTP (S-STP) RJ-45 Yellow Cable

Slow, unreliable connections can cripple home offices and small businesses. The Cables Direct 0.5m (ART-100Y) CAT6a M - M S/FTP (S-STP) RJ-45 Yellow Cable is a short, high-performance patch cable that delivers 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds, perfect for tight spaces where speed and reliability matter.

Why the Cables Direct 0.5m (ART-100Y) CAT6a M - M S/FTP (S-STP) RJ-45 Yellow Cable is the answer to your networking headaches

When you need to connect devices that sit close together - a server rack, a desktop and a switch - a long cable creates clutter and signal loss. This 0.5 metre cable eliminates excess length while still meeting the demanding CAT6a standard, supporting up to 600 MHz and 10 Gbps data rates. Its low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket reduces toxic fumes in case of fire, and the S/FTP shielding protects against electromagnetic interference, ensuring a clean, stable connection every time.

Usages of Cables Direct 0.5m (ART-100Y) CAT6a M - M S/FTP (S-STP) RJ-45 Yellow Cable

• Connecting a desktop PC to a nearby wall-mounted switch in a cramped office.
• Linking a network-attached storage (NAS) device to a router on a crowded desk.
• Tying a patch panel to a switch in a small server rack.
• Extending a high-speed printer or scanner to a workstation without excess cable.
• Creating a tidy, colour-coded link in home entertainment setups.
