Networking Cable Dexlan 858732 3m Cat6a S/FTP Red

The Dexlan 3m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable in red provides a shielded Ethernet connection for high-speed data transmission. Equipped with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, this cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper in environments where reduced interference and consistent signal integrity are required. The 3 meter length offers flexibility for connecting devices across desks, racks, or small office layouts while the red jacket helps identify network segments or device roles within structured cabling.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs to minimize crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, improving performance in dense cable installations or near electronic equipment. Cat6a specification ensures support for higher bandwidth and better thermal margin compared to lower-category cables. Factory-terminated RJ-45 plugs provide plug-and-play compatibility with standard network equipment without additional termination work. The visible red jacket facilitates cable management and quick visual identification within patch panels and cable bundles.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in small offices and server rooms
• Patch panel to switch or switch to workstation links where shielding is required
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference from nearby equipment
• Structured cabling installations that require color-coded organization

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding type: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Length: 3 meters
• Color: red
• Supported data rates: up to 10 Gbps over appropriate channel lengths
• Conductor: twisted pair copper conductors

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network device port (switch, router, NIC or patch panel) and the other end to the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, kinks, and sources of mechanical stress; maintain bend radii consistent with manufacturer recommendations and avoid tight loops. If used in a rack or patch panel, secure excess length with cable management accessories to prevent strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the Dexlan Cat6a S/FTP cable in shielded or mixed environments where interference mitigation is important. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines for long distances; if crossing is necessary, do so at right angles. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and replace any cable that shows visible wear to maintain reliable network performance.
