Hubbell PS6Y20 Patch Cable - Shielded RJ-45

Overview

The Hubbell PS6Y20 is a shielded, male-to-male RJ-45 patch cable designed to maintain signal integrity in demanding network environments. Its construction is critical for preventing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) in installations where network cables run near power lines or other sources of electrical noise. This cable is specifically suited for direct connections between network devices where a secure, interference-free link is paramount, such as connecting a network switch to a server or a surveillance camera to its network drop.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for use with standard RJ-45 Ethernet ports found on most networking equipment, including switches, routers, servers, and IP cameras. Its male-to-male configuration means it's intended for direct device-to-device connections or for connecting a device to a patch panel port. It is compatible with any network device utilizing an RJ-45 interface that requires a shielded cable for optimal performance.

Installation Notes

Ensure that both connecting ports are rated for shielded Ethernet connections to fully benefit from the cable's EMI/RFI protection. The RJ-45 connectors are designed for standard Ethernet port insertion; apply gentle, even pressure for connection. Avoid excessive bending or kinking of the cable, as this can compromise the internal conductors and shielding, potentially degrading signal quality.
