Shielded S/FTP Cat6a Network Cable 3 m — LIBOX LB0194-3

Shielded S/FTP Cat6a Network Cable 3 m — LIBOX LB0194-3 is a 3-metre Ethernet cable designed to deliver Cat6a performance for wired local area networks. The cable features S/FTP shielding (shielded overall with individually foil-shielded pairs) to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, helping to maintain consistent data throughput for high-speed connections between routers, switches, desktop computers and other networked devices in home and office environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction provides improved immunity to external electromagnetic noise compared with unshielded cables, supporting stable data transfer rates and lower error rates in environments with multiple electronic devices. Cat6a specification ensures support for higher bandwidths and better performance at up to 3 meters for short to medium runs. The 3 m length offers a balance between flexibility and convenience for common desktop and rack connections while reducing excess cable clutter.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs and workstations to routers or switches
• Patch connections in small office network cabinets and wall outlets
• Linking networked AV devices, printers and NAS devices
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference where shielding improves link stability

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid/foil with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 3 metres
• Connector type: RJ45 (8P8C) compatible
• Typical applications: Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of your router, switch or network device and the other into the target device. Ensure connectors are fully seated and locking tabs engage to prevent accidental disconnection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and tight kinks; maintain a gentle bend radius to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. For rack or cabinet installations, secure excess length with cable management accessories to prevent strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

For best signal integrity, keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines and heavy-duty electrical equipment. When using in environments with known interference, verify devices support shielded cabling and, if necessary, implement proper grounding practices for the network infrastructure.
