Patch cord ElectroBase K8100-SF.5 3m CAT6 S/FTP

The ElectroBase K8100-SF.5 3m CAT6 S/FTP patch cord is a shielded network cable designed for stable gigabit data transmission in home and office networks. Constructed with individually shielded twisted pairs and an overall braid shield, this CAT6 cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, providing consistent performance for switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices. The 3 meter length offers flexibility in typical rack, desk and wall-mounted installations while maintaining signal integrity for high-speed applications.

Advantages

This CAT6 S/FTP patch cord delivers reliable gigabit throughput thanks to shielded twisted pair construction and an overall shield that minimizes external interference. The 3 m length balances reach and cable management, and the robust jacket and connectors are built to withstand repeated plugging cycles. Compatibility with standard RJ45 ports ensures straightforward integration with existing network equipment without the need for adapters.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in office networks
• Patch panels and structured cabling systems in data closets and server rooms
• Home networking where reduced interference and stable connections are required
• Gigabit Ethernet applications and VoIP devices

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6 (Class E performance)
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall braid plus individually shielded twisted pairs
• Length: 3 meters
• Conductor: twisted pair copper conductors
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Data rate: suitable for gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) and backward compatible with 100 Mbps networks
• Jacket: flexible outer sheath for standard office and home use

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding network ports of your devices until they click into place. Route the patch cord to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; maintain a gentle bend radius to preserve cable performance. For shielded installations, ensure both ends are connected to appropriately grounded shielded ports or patch panels to fully benefit from the S/FTP shielding.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the patch cord in environments where shielding and reduced crosstalk are beneficial, and pair it with shielded network components and proper grounding. Avoid running the cable parallel to power lines and keep it within recommended bend radius to maintain signal integrity over time.
