Cables Direct 0.5m CAT6a, M - M networking cable Green S/FTP (S-STP)

What it is

This is a 0.5m CAT6a patch cable from Cables Direct, finished in green. It uses an S/FTP (S-STP) shielded construction with male RJ45 connectors at both ends. CAT6a supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at up to 500MHz — and the short 0.5m length keeps things tight and tidy.

Who it's for

Network engineers, AV installers, and IT teams who need short patch runs inside racks, cabinets, or patch panels. The green colour works well for colour-coded cable management — useful when you need to identify a specific network at a glance.

Why it's good

The S/FTP shielding reduces interference from adjacent cables — important in dense rack environments where signal quality matters. CAT6a gives you headroom for 10GbE, so this cable won't be the weak link in a high-performance setup. At 0.5m, there's no excess cable to manage or bundle away.

When to choose it

Choose this when you need a short, shielded CAT6a patch lead for rack-to-rack or switch-to-patch-panel connections. It's a straightforward pick when the run is under half a metre and you want proper shielding without compromise.
