Network Cable C-TECH CB-PP6A-3 Patchcord Cat6a S/FTP 3m Gray

The C-TECH CB-PP6A-3 Patchcord Cat6a S/FTP 3m in gray is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for stable, high-bandwidth network connections over a 3 meter span. Constructed to the Cat6a specification with S/FTP shielding, it is intended to reduce electromagnetic interference and support applications that require higher data throughput and signal integrity. The neutral gray jacket provides a discreet appearance suitable for residential and commercial installations.

Advantages

Shielded S/FTP construction minimizes crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, helping to maintain consistent signal quality in environments with multiple cables or electronic equipment. Cat6a performance supports higher bandwidth up to 500 MHz, enabling reliable operation for demanding network tasks. The 3 meter length offers a balance between flexibility and reach for typical desktop or rack setups, and the cable’s connector design ensures secure plugs into standard RJ45 sockets.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches, and desktop computers within small office or home networks
• Wiring between patch panels and network devices in server rooms or telecom cabinets
• High-bandwidth applications such as large file transfers, video streaming, and VoIP

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 3 meters
• Bandwidth capability: up to 500 MHz
• Connector type: RJ45 compatible plugs
• Color: gray

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network device (router, switch, or modem) and the other connector into your computer or network-enabled device. Ensure connectors are fully seated until a tactile click is felt. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain gentle curves to preserve internal pair geometry. If used in a patch panel or rack, secure excess length to avoid strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and keep it away from strong electromagnetic sources. In installations with multiple cables, maintain proper cable management to reduce mechanical stress and preserve shielding effectiveness. Regularly inspect connectors for dust or damage and replace the cable if physical wear or compromised shielding is observed.
