Patch cord ElectroBase K8100-SF.3 3m CAT6 S/FTP

The ElectroBase K8100-SF.3 3m CAT6 S/FTP patch cord is a shielded network cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in home and office networks. With a 3-metre length and CAT6 performance, this patch cord supports gigabit Ethernet and offers improved protection against electromagnetic interference thanks to its S/FTP construction (overall screen with individually shielded pairs). The cable is compatible with standard RJ45 ports and is suitable for connecting switches, routers, patch panels and network devices where stable, high-bandwidth connectivity is required.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, helping to maintain signal integrity in environments with multiple cables or electronic equipment. CAT6 specification provides higher bandwidth and better performance than older cable categories, supporting up to 1 Gbps and suitable for many modern network applications. The 3 m length offers a balance between flexibility and reach for typical desk-to-patch-panel or equipment-to-switch connections. The cable's construction ensures consistent impedance and low attenuation for shorter runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers and workstations to switches or wall outlets
• Linking network switches and patch panels in small racks or cabinets
• Home networking setups requiring shielded connections near electronic equipment
• VoIP phones, IP cameras and other networked devices needing stable Ethernet links

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6 performance for gigabit Ethernet
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually shielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 3 metres
• Connector type: RJ45 to RJ45 compatible
• Conductor: twisted pair copper
• Typical use: patch cord for workstation-to-switch and equipment interconnects

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding port on your network devices until the latch clicks into place. Ensure the cable is routed without severe bends or kinks and avoid running it parallel and close to power cables to minimize interference. For optimal performance, use the patch cord for connections within its 3 m length recommendation and pair it with devices and ports rated for CAT6 or higher. To disconnect, press the latch on the RJ45 plug and gently pull the connector out of the port.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the patch cord in shielded or mixed-cable environments where reduced interference is needed. Inspect connectors periodically for damage and replace the cable if shielding or connector integrity is compromised. When installing in structured cabling systems, maintain proper bend radius and avoid sharp bends; store spare cables coiled loosely to preserve shielding and connector condition.
