Networking Cable Renkforce RF-4724268 10m Cat6 S/FTP

The Renkforce RF-4724268 10m Cat6 S/FTP networking cable delivers a shielded connection for reliable Ethernet links up to 1000 Mbit/s. Constructed to Cat6 performance standards, the cable combines foil and braided shielding (S/FTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity over a 10-metre length. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 plugs featuring gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance. The grey jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for visible installations in home and office environments.

Advantages

This Cat6 S/FTP cable provides enhanced protection against crosstalk and external interference thanks to pair-level foil shielding and an overall braided screen. The 10 m length balances reach and cable management for typical room-to-room or desk-to-switch connections. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve long-term contact reliability and minimize signal loss at the connector interface. The cable jacket is flexible enough for routing in cable ducts and behind furniture while remaining robust for repeated plugging cycles.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting desktop PCs, printers or network devices to a router or switch within the same room or adjacent rooms
• Wired connections for home offices, small office networks, and study rooms
• Streaming video, online gaming, and VoIP applications requiring stable gigabit connectivity
• Temporary or semi-permanent installations where a visible grey cable matches interior aesthetics

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the Ethernet port of your network device and the other to the router, switch or modem. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages to establish a secure physical connection. For best performance, avoid tightly coiling the cable, stretching it over sharp edges, or placing it near high-voltage power lines that could introduce interference. Inspect connectors for debris before insertion and handle the cable by the connector boots when plugging or unplugging to reduce strain on the contacts.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6 S/FTP cable for gigabit Ethernet connections where reduced electromagnetic interference is important, such as near monitors, power supplies or other data cables. For permanent runs through walls or conduits, verify local installation regulations and consider in-wall rated cable types. When connecting beyond 10 metres, plan cable routes and network hardware placement to maintain expected performance.
