Networking Cable Renkforce RF-4979742 3m Cat6 S/FTP RJ-45

The Renkforce RF-4979742 3m Cat6 S/FTP RJ-45 networking cable provides a shielded Ethernet connection designed for stable high-speed data transfer. This Cat6 cable with S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, while gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable contact and corrosion resistance. With a 3 meter length it connects devices across workstations, routers, switches and patch panels where Gigabit Ethernet performance is required.

Advantages

S/FTP construction combines an overall foil shield with individually braided shields for each twisted pair, improving noise immunity in environments with multiple cables and electronic equipment. The Cat6 specification supports Gigabit Ethernet and delivers consistent throughput up to 1000 Mbit/s. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs provide low-resistance signal transfer and longer connector lifespan. The 3 m length offers flexibility for typical home and office layouts without excess cable slack.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, laptops and network printers to routers or switches
• Wired Gigabit Ethernet connections for home networks and small offices
• Patch panel and rack installations in structured cabling setups
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 plugs with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 3 m
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Conductor type: twisted pair

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other into the port on your router, switch or wall jack until the latch clicks. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that cable routing avoids sharp bends and excessive tension. For best performance, keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines and bulky power transformers to minimize interference. No special configuration is required; most modern devices will negotiate the appropriate link speed automatically.

Usage recommendations

For optimal long-term performance, avoid running the cable parallel to mains power wiring over long distances and secure it with clips or cable ties to prevent strain on the connectors. If you deploy the cable in a rack or patch panel, maintain gentle bend radii and label both ends to simplify future maintenance.
