Networking Cable METZ CONNECT 130845G000-E RJ-45 Cat6a 70 m Black

The METZ CONNECT 130845G000-E RJ-45 Cat6a 70 m Black is a professional-grade networking cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. Built to Cat6a standard, this 70 metre cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 000 Mbit/s and uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Both ends are terminated with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to ensure stable contact and corrosion resistance, and the black outer jacket provides practical protection and a discreet appearance for installations in offices, data centres and commercial environments.

Advantages

Cat6a performance enables 10 Gigabit Ethernet over the full 70 m length while S/FTP shielding (overall braid with individually foiled pairs) minimises noise from neighbouring cables and equipment. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs improve signal transfer and longevity compared with unplated connectors. The cable’s construction balances flexibility for routing with sufficient mechanical protection to withstand common installation stresses. The black jacket offers simple, professional aesthetics and hides dust and marks in visible runs.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbones in offices and data centres
• High-bandwidth workstations and servers
• Structured cabling between switches and patch panels
• AV installations requiring shielded connections to prevent interference
• Long-distance horizontal runs within commercial buildings

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a (augmented performance for 10GBASE-T)
• Length: 70 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foiled pairs)
• Conductor arrangement: twisted pairs
• Plating: gold-plated connector contacts
• Outer colour: black

How to use

Route the cable along cable trays, trunking or walls while avoiding tight bends and sharp edges that could damage the internal pairs. Terminated with RJ-45 plugs at both ends, the cable connects directly to compatible network ports on switches, routers, patch panels or networked devices. For best performance, maintain recommended separation from power cables and avoid running parallel to sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Leave service loops where necessary to allow future retermination or movement of equipment.

Usage recommendations

Verify that connected equipment supports 10GBASE-T if you plan to use the cable at full 10 Gbit/s capacity. When installing in dense bundles, ensure adequate ventilation and do not exceed the cable’s minimum bend radius. Use appropriate cable management and strain relief at terminations to preserve shielding continuity and connector integrity.
