Network Cable DATACOM Patch cord S/FTP CAT6A 3m gray

The DATACOM Patch cord S/FTP CAT6A 3m gray is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable high-speed network connections. It uses individually shielded twisted pairs and an overall braid shield to reduce electromagnetic interference and supports 10GBase-T and lower protocols with a bandwidth of up to 500 MHz. The cable has a 3 m length, LSZH jacket and 27 AWG conductors, making it suitable for connecting PCs, switches, patch panels and other network equipment in office or home environments.

Advantages

This CAT6A S/FTP patch cable provides up to 10 Gbit/s data transfer and 500 MHz bandwidth while offering enhanced protection from external interference due to the combination of foil shielding on each pair and an overall braided shield. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire, and the 27 AWG conductors ensure proper signal integrity over the 3 m length. Standard RJ45 shielded connectors enable secure, compatible connections to network devices and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs to wall outlets or network sockets
• Linking patch panels with switches, routers or other active network equipment
• High-speed Ethernet setups requiring 10GBase-T or lower
• Environments where reduced fire-hazard emissions (LSZH) are preferred

Key specifications

How to use

Plug one shielded RJ45 connector into the network port of your device (PC, switch, router or patch panel) and the other into the corresponding network socket. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a reliable mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and strong electromagnetic sources to maintain signal quality.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs within recommended distances for structured cabling and avoid running parallel to high-power electrical cables. Use the shielded connectors and proper grounding in installations where shielding effectiveness is required.
