Networking cable Dätwyler K8708OR.3 Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP) RJ‑45 — 3 m, orange

Dätwyler K8708OR.3 Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP) RJ‑45 — 3 m, orange is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for high‑performance wired networks. The cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and structured cabling environments, combining a Category 6a specification with S/FTP (overall foil plus individually braided shields) to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. RJ‑45 plugs with gold‑plated contacts ensure stable signal transmission, while the orange jacket provides clear visual identification in racks and cable runs.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP construction offers enhanced protection against external EMI and pair‑to‑pair crosstalk compared with unshielded alternatives, improving signal integrity in dense installations. Cat6a specification supports higher bandwidth and 10 Gbps data rates over the specified distance. Gold‑plated RJ‑45 contacts minimize oxidation and maintain consistent connectivity over repeated insertions. The bright orange jacket simplifies cable management and fault finding in data centers and complex wiring setups.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections within server rooms and data centers
• Network racks, patch panels and structured cabling systems
• Environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielding is required
• Short‑run links between switches, routers, and networked equipment

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually braided pair shields)
• Connector type: RJ‑45 with gold‑plated contacts
• Length: 3 m
• Color: Orange
• Data rate: suitable for 10 Gbps over the specified length

How to use

Connect the RJ‑45 plug at each end to the corresponding network ports on switches, routers, servers or patch panels. Ensure that shielded ports and grounding practices are observed when integrating S/FTP cables into a broader installation to maintain the shielding effectiveness. Avoid sharp bends and compressive forces near the connectors; route the cable with gentle curves and secure it using appropriate cable management tools.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable in conjunction with compatible shielded connectors and patch panels, and maintain proper grounding across the shielded cabling infrastructure. Keep cable runs within recommended distances for 10 Gbps operation and avoid running the cable in parallel with high‑power AC mains without proper separation or additional shielding.
