Network patch cable ICIDU Brackton CAT 6a SF/UTP 3 m light grey

ICIDU Brackton CAT 6a SF/UTP 3 m light grey is a shielded Foiled/Unshielded Twisted Pair patch cable engineered for high‑speed Ethernet connections. With CAT6a performance and a 3‑meter length, this cable is intended for linking switches, routers and patch panels in office installations or data centres. The SF/UTP construction provides additional protection against electromagnetic interference while maintaining compatibility with standard RJ45 network ports.

Advantages

The cable combines CAT6a transmission characteristics with SF/UTP shielding to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short to medium distances while reducing crosstalk and external EMI. Its 3 m length offers flexibility for tidy cable runs between racks, desks and networking equipment. The light grey jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for professional environments and aids identification among mixed cabling. The cable is compatible with standard RJ45 connectors and common networking hardware.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within racks and between adjacent cabinets
• Connections between switches, routers and patch panels in offices and data centres
• Environments where additional EMI protection is needed, such as near power equipment or dense cabling

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT 6a (augmented performance for higher frequencies)
• Shielding type: SF/UTP (overall foil shield with unshielded pairs)
• Length: 3 m
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated (standard modular connectors)
• Colour: light grey
• Intended use: Ethernet/network patching for professional installations

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector securely into the corresponding Ethernet port on your networking devices until the latch clicks. Use this 3 m patch cable to link equipment within racks, connect wall ports to switches or patch between panels. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible. Ensure both ends are fully seated and check link/activity LEDs on devices to confirm connectivity.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid excessive bending radius and do not place cables under heavy mechanical strain. In mixed-cable environments, maintain separation from high-voltage power lines where practical, and use appropriate cable management to preserve signal integrity and facilitate maintenance.
