Patch cord EB591628147 S/FTP Cat6a stranded Cu 3m

Patch cord EB591628147 S/FTP Cat6a stranded Cu 3m is a 3 metre network cable engineered for reliable high-speed Ethernet links in structured LAN environments. The cable uses stranded copper conductors and an S/FTP shielding scheme to combine flexibility with effective protection against external electromagnetic interference. Designed to support up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet and typical Cat6a frequency characteristics, this patch cord is intended for short patching runs between switches, patch panels and workstations where both signal integrity and cable manageability are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction provides individual pair foil shields plus an overall braided or foil shield, which reduces crosstalk and improves resistance to external EMI. Stranded copper conductors increase flexibility and make the cable easier to route through patch panels and tight spaces compared with solid-core alternatives. The Cat6a performance range enables higher bandwidth and improved margin for next-generation Ethernet applications within local networks. The 3 metre length offers a practical balance between reach and tidy cabling in server rooms, wiring closets and office desks.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches and patch panels
• Workstation and desktop network links
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper within LAN infrastructure
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (individual pair foil + overall shield)
• Conductor type: stranded copper
• Length: 3 m
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated on both ends
• Supported bandwidth: up to 500 MHz (Cat6a class performance)
• Suitable data rate: up to 10 Gbps over specified distances for Cat6a

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network switch or patch panel port and the other RJ45 plug to the target device or panel port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and latched to establish a reliable electrical and mechanical connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends or sharp kinks and keep it separated from power cables or strong EMI sources when possible. For optimal performance, use this patch cord for in-rack or in-closet patching and follow existing cable management practices to maintain signal integrity and accessibility.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the cable and connectors before installation to ensure there are no visible damages. Maintain bend radius recommendations (usually at least four times the cable diameter) and avoid repeated flexing at connector ends. For permanent horizontal runs or wall installations, use appropriate solid-core Category-rated cabling instead of stranded patch cords.
