Networking Cable Lanberg PCF6A-10CC-0300-B Cat6a S/FTP 3m Blue

The Lanberg PCF6A-10CC-0300-B Cat6a S/FTP 3m Blue is a 3-meter patch cable designed for Ethernet networks that require higher bandwidth and reduced electromagnetic interference. Built to Cat6a specification with S/FTP shielding and fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, this cable is intended for reliable connections between switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices in office or home environments. The blue jacket provides clear visual identification within cabling runs.

Advantages

Cat6a construction supports up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds over typical distances used in local networks while S/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. The cable’s RJ-45 terminations allow plug-and-play connectivity with standard network equipment. A 3 m length balances reach and cable management for many desktop and rack layouts, and the colored jacket simplifies identification in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches, routers and patch panels within offices and data closets
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over short to moderate distances
• Home networks requiring structured cabling and identifiable color coding

When it may not be suitable

This 3 m patch cable is not intended for long-distance backbone runs; longer links or permanent in-wall cabling may require bulk cable or different cable categories depending on installation standards. If Plenum-rated or specific fire-safety jacket requirements are mandated for your building, check the jacket type and certifications before use.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the network adapter, switch or router port until it clicks to ensure a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For rack or patch panel installations, secure excess cable length with cable ties or management panels to maintain neat runs and reduce strain on connectors.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length for the intended connection point
• Whether Cat6a and S/FTP shielding meet your network speed and interference protection needs
• Compatibility of RJ-45 connectors with your equipment ports
• Jacket and fire-safety requirements for your installation environment

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid routing the cable alongside high-voltage power lines and keep bend radius above the recommended minimum for Cat6a products. Test installed links with appropriate network testers when deploying in critical networks.
