Networking cable Renkforce RF-5043914 Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP) RJ45 — 1 m, white

Renkforce RF-5043914 Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP) RJ45 — 1 m is a shielded network patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet links. The cable features S/FTP (overall braid with individually foiled pairs) shielding, RJ‑45 connectors and a 1 m white jacket suitable for tidy installations in office and home environments. It supports data transmission rates up to 10 Gbit/s and is intended for use with network patch panels, switches and routers where reliable 10 Gigabit performance and reduced electromagnetic interference are required.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP (S‑STP) construction provides enhanced protection against external electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting stable high-speed transmission. With Cat6a specification and RJ‑45 terminations, it enables 10 Gbit/s connections over short runs while maintaining compatibility with standard Ethernet ports. The white jacket offers a discreet appearance that integrates into office ceilings, cable trays or behind equipment without drawing attention.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances
• High-density office and data center patching where shielding is required
• Home networks that need reliable high-speed wired connections for streaming or gaming
• Installations requiring a discreet white cable for visible routing along walls or furniture

When it may not be suitable

This 1 m patch cable is intended for short physical links; it is not suitable for long-distance backbone cabling where longer runs and different cable types (e.g., fiber optics) are required. It also may be unnecessary in purely wireless setups where wired connections are not used.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braided shield with individually foiled pairs)
• Connector type: RJ‑45 on both ends
• Length: 1 m
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s (over suitable infrastructure and distances)
• Jacket color: white
• Typical applications: Ethernet patching between network equipment

How to use

Plug each RJ‑45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices, such as a switch, router or network interface. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a reliable physical connection. For optimal 10 Gbit/s performance, use appropriate Cat6a-compatible ports and minimize bends or kinks in the cable to avoid signal degradation. Route the cable to avoid strong sources of electromagnetic interference and secure it as needed with cable ties or clips.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length: 1 m is suitable for short links; measure your distances before buying
• Shielding needs: S/FTP is useful in environments with potential interference or high-density cabling
• Compatibility: ensure connected equipment supports Cat6a/10 Gbit/s if that performance is required
• Aesthetic preferences: white jacket for discreet visible routing

Usage recommendations

Use this Renkforce Cat6a S/FTP RJ‑45 patch cable for short, shielded Ethernet connections where reduced interference and 10 Gbit/s capability are required. Keep bends gentle, avoid excessive tension, and pair with Cat6a-compatible network ports and properly grounded shielding infrastructure for best results.
