Networking cable METZ CONNECT 130845C000-E RJ-45 Cat6a 30 m Black

The METZ CONNECT 130845C000-E RJ-45 Cat6a 30 m Black is a structured network cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. With a 30 metre length and Cat6a specification, this cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 000 Mbit/s and is fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors. Its S/FTP (S-STP) shielding reduces electromagnetic interference, helping maintain signal integrity in mixed cabling environments. The black jacket provides a discreet appearance for both residential and commercial installations.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable offers enhanced shielding (S/FTP) to minimise crosstalk and external interference, ensuring stable high-bandwidth performance. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs improve contact reliability and resist corrosion over time, supporting consistent connectivity. The 30 m length provides flexibility for connecting devices across rooms or between network equipment, while the durable outer jacket protects the inner pair shielding and conductors during deployment.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections in home and office networks
• Connecting switches, routers, NAS devices and desktop PCs
• High-bandwidth applications such as 10 GBASE-T, video streaming and large file transfers
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (augmented Cat6)
• Length: 30 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually shielded pairs)
• Maximum data rate: up to 10 000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Black

How to use

Route the cable between network devices ensuring bend radius and avoidance of sharp edges to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. Insert each RJ-45 plug fully into the device port until the latch clicks; verify link lights on connected equipment to confirm a physical connection. For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines or other sources of electromagnetic noise. When terminating or replacing cable, ensure connectors and ports are clean and undamaged to maintain contact quality.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for installations that require 10 Gbit/s performance or where protection from electromagnetic interference is important. For permanent in-wall installations, verify local building codes and consider using fire-rated or plenum-rated variants if required. Test the installed link with a network tester appropriate for Cat6a to confirm performance and pair continuity.
