Patch cable helos 333076 RJ-45 M to RJ-45 M 3 m S/FTP Cat6a

Shielded patch cable helos 333076 RJ-45 M to RJ-45 M 3 m S/FTP Cat6a is a 3-metre network cable designed for modern Ethernet installations. The S/FTP construction (foil shield on each pair plus overall braid) and Cat6a specification provide transmission performance suitable for 10 Gbps links over compatible infrastructure. Both ends terminate in standard RJ-45 male connectors for direct connection between network equipment such as switches, routers, patch panels and workstations.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP design reduces electromagnetic interference and near-end crosstalk, improving signal integrity in environments with multiple cables or electronic devices. Cat6a category rating ensures higher bandwidth and better alien crosstalk protection compared with lower categories, enabling reliable 10 Gbps operation at supported distances. A 3 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-desk or cabinet-to-equipment connections while keeping cable runs tidy and minimizing excess slack.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in data cabinets
• Linking routers and network appliances to local workstations
• High-speed uplinks in office or server room environments
• Environments with increased electromagnetic interference where shielding is required

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Category 6a (Cat6a)
• Shielding: S/FTP (foil per pair with overall braided shield)
• Connector type: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Length: 3 metres
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10 Gbps over compatible infrastructure
• Typical use: Ethernet networking, 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T and 10GBASE-T where supported

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 male connector to the network port of the source device (for example, a switch or router) and the other connector to the destination device (for example, a patch panel or workstation). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to maintain a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain bend radii recommended by the installation environment to preserve transmission performance.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use the cable within typical indoor networking environments and avoid running it in parallel with mains power cables for long distances. Test the installed link with appropriate network testers to verify continuity, shielding integrity and expected data rates. Where 10 Gbps performance is required, confirm that connected devices, patch panels and switches support 10GBASE-T and that overall channel length conforms to Cat6a installation guidelines.
