Network patch cable ICIDU Brackton SF/UTP CAT6a 3m blue

ICIDU Brackton SF/UTP CAT6a 3m blue is a 3‑meter network patch cable designed for high‑speed Ethernet connections. It supports Category 6a performance suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short to medium cable runs. The cable features SF/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic and radio interference, and comes with molded connectors in a blue jacket for easy identification in structured cabling environments.

Advantages

The SF/UTP construction provides improved protection against crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded cables, which helps maintain stable throughput at higher frequencies. Category 6a specification ensures support for 10 Gbps Ethernet where cable length and installation environment allow. The 3 meter length is practical for patching between switches, patch panels and end devices without excess slack, and the color coding facilitates cable management in racks and workspaces.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches and patch panels in server rooms and data cabinets
• Connecting routers, switches and network appliances in office environments
• Workstation and desktop connections requiring up to 10 Gbps speeds on short runs
• Home networks where reduced interference and clear cable identification are needed

Key specifications

• Cable category: Category 6a (Cat6a)
• Shielding type: SF/UTP (braid + foil over pairs with unshielded individual pairs)
• Length: 3 meters
• Color: Blue
• Connector type: RJ45 molded connectors
• Performance: Supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet on suitable installation lengths

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your switch, router, patch panel or network device and the other connector into the corresponding port of the target device. Ensure connectors are fully seated and that cable routing avoids tight bends, sharp edges and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For best performance, keep cable runs within recommended lengths for Cat6a installations and follow proper rack and patch panel management practices to avoid stress on connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this SF/UTP Cat6a patch cable in applications where reduced external interference and support for multi‑gigabit speeds are required. Avoid bundling shielded cables with large power cables, and ensure proper grounding of shielded systems where applicable to maintain shielding effectiveness.
