## Summary description

MetzConnect networking cable, model 1308453066‑E, is a 3 m Cat6a patch cable with S/FTP (S‑STP) shielding and RJ‑45 connectors at both ends. Designed for high‑speed Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links, the foil‑ and braided‑shielded construction reduces crosstalk and external interference. Suitable for LAN, server and active equipment connections in office and data center environments.

## Long description

MetzConnect Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP) Red 3 m patch cable with RJ‑45 connectors is a high-performance network cable designed for reliable wired connections in LANs, server racks and active networking equipment. The cable supports Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds and combines a foil shield with an overall braided shield to reduce alien crosstalk and protect data integrity in electrically noisy environments. The 3 m length and flexible jacket make it suitable for short runs between switches, patch panels and devices in office and data centre setups.
Advantages
The S/FTP (S‑STP) shielding provides both pair-level foil protection and an overall braid, delivering improved immunity to external electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded or partially shielded cables. Cat6a specification ensures support for 10GBASE‑T over short to moderate distances and maintains consistent performance for high-bandwidth applications. The factory‑terminated RJ‑45 plugs guarantee reliable mating with standard Ethernet ports while the red jacket offers easy visual identification in structured cabling environments.
Suitable for
Short connections between switches, patch panels and servers in racks
High-speed Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in office networks
Connections in electrically noisy environments where shielding is required
Organised cable runs requiring colour coding for quick identification
Key specifications
Cable category: Cat6a
Shielding: S/FTP (individual foil per pair + overall braided shield)
Connectors: RJ‑45 male on both ends
Length: 3 m
Colour: Red
Application: Suitable for Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet
How to use
Connect one RJ‑45 plug to the network port of the switch, router, patch panel or network device and the other plug to the target device’s Ethernet port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until a click is heard and avoid tight bends at the cable ends to preserve performance. When routing the cable in a rack or conduit, maintain separation from high‑voltage power cables where possible and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, use the cable within standard installation bend radius limits, avoid sharp kinks and keep lengths within recommended distances for Cat6a runs. When deploying multiple shielded cables, ensure proper grounding of the patch panel or chassis to benefit from the S/FTP shielding. Use colour coding to simplify maintenance and reduce downtime during reconfiguration.
