Network Cable VALUE S/FTP Patch Cord Cat.6a RJ-45 3.0 m Grey

The VALUE S/FTP Patch Cord Cat.6a RJ-45 3.0 m Grey is a shielded network cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in structured cabling environments. This 3 m patch cord uses RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a fully shielded S/FTP construction — each pair wrapped in aluminium foil with an overall braided shield — to reduce electromagnetic interference and support consistent signal integrity. The cable conforms to Cat6a performance parameters, offers an impedance of 100 Ohm and is prepared for contact wiring 1:1 according to the EIA/TIA 568 standard.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding and PiMF twisted pair construction provide improved protection against crosstalk and external noise compared with unshielded cables, helping to maintain stable throughput up to 10 Gbit/s and supporting a bandwidth of 500 MHz. Molded kink protection at the connector ends and a flexible jacket allow installation in confined spaces and reduce mechanical stress on the terminations. The grey jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for office and data centre environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices in office and data centre racks
• Short horizontal and patching runs where Cat6a performance and shielding are required
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference that benefit from S/FTP shielding
• Structured shielded cabling systems compliant with EIA/TIA 568 wiring

How to use

Plug the RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding RJ-45 ports of the network devices, such as switches, routers or patch panels, ensuring a secure click for proper contact. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and compressive forces; use the built-in kink protection near the connector when guiding the cable through cable management. For integration into a shielded cabling system, ensure that connected keystone jacks and patch panels are also shielded and that shielding continuity and grounding are properly implemented.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP patch cord for short links and patching in installations that require up to 10 Gbit/s throughput and enhanced EMI protection. For permanent horizontal runs, consider using solid conductor Cat6a cable and compatible shielded connectors, and always maintain correct grounding of the shielded infrastructure to ensure optimal performance.
