Networking Cable Renkforce RF-5043948 10m Cat6a S/FTP Grey

The Renkforce RF-5043948 10m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable provides a shielded, high-speed connection between network devices. Built to Cat6a specification with S/FTP (screened foil over individually foil‑shielded pairs) construction, this grey cable is fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s. The cable is intended for situations where stable gigabit and 10-gigabit connections are required over a short to medium distance in home or office networks.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity in environments with multiple electronic devices or bundled cabling. Cat6a specification ensures headroom for 10 Gbps Ethernet over the full 10 metre length, while molded RJ-45 connectors provide reliable plug-and-play compatibility with switches, routers, NAS devices and network interface cards. The 10 m length offers flexible placement of equipment without compromising performance.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, routers and switches in home or small office networks
• Wiring networked audio/video devices and gaming consoles for low-latency performance
• Uplinking switches or connecting patch panels within a rack or cabinet over short distances
• Temporary or permanent installations where shielded cabling is required to avoid interference

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil over individual pairs)
• Length: 10 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Color: grey

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 connectors into the network ports of the devices to be connected, ensuring secure seating until the connector latch clicks into place. For optimal performance, avoid sharply bending the cable near the connectors and keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference wherever possible. The cable can be routed through cable channels, conduit or along walls using clips or ties suited to the installation environment.

Usage recommendations

For consistent 10 Gbps performance, use the cable for point-to-point links under its 10 m length rating and pair it with Cat6a-compliant equipment. When installing in environments with high electrical noise, ensure the shielding is properly terminated at both ends and avoid running the cable in parallel with mains power lines for long distances.
