Network patch cable MONTIS Cat6A S/FTP, 3 m, model MT116-3

MONTIS Cat6A S/FTP patch cable, 3 m long, model MT116-3 is a shielded network cable designed for high‑speed Ethernet links up to Cat6A performance. The S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) construction reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting stable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, routers, servers and wall outlets in offices, data centers and home networks. The 3 meter length provides flexible placement while maintaining consistent signal quality for short to medium runs.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding offers enhanced protection against external noise and improves signal integrity in environments with multiple cables or nearby electronic equipment. Cat6A specification ensures support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet at standard distances defined for Cat6A cabling. The cable’s 3 m length balances reach and manageability, making it suitable for patching between racks, connecting desktop devices to wall ports, or linking network equipment within server cabinets. RJ45 connectors and precise pair twisting deliver reliable connectivity and reduced packet loss under load.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in office and data center environments
• Connecting switches, routers, servers and patch panels
• Patching between wall outlets and desktop computers or network devices
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielding is beneficial

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6A performance class
• Topology: Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair (S/FTP)
• Length: 3 meters
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Data rate: supports 10 Gbit/s Ethernet
• Impedance: 100 Ω (typical for structured cabling)

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding ports on network devices until they click into place. Use the 3 m patch cable to connect switches, routers, servers, patch panels or wall outlets as part of a local area network. Ensure connectors and ports are free of dust and damage before making connections, and avoid tight bends or excessive tension on the cable to maintain shielding and internal pair integrity. For installations inside rack cabinets, route the cable through cable management to prevent kinks and to preserve consistent performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results in high‑density or electrically noisy environments, use S/FTP cabling in combination with properly grounded patch panels and equipment chassis. Keep cable runs within recommended lengths for patching and avoid running the cable parallel to high‑voltage power lines to minimize interference.
