Networking Cable Renkforce RF-5043976 RJ-45 Cat6a 0.15 m Red

The Renkforce RF-5043976 RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable is a short, high-performance patch cable designed for reliable wired connections where space is limited. With a 0.15 m length, Cat6a specification and S/FTP shielding, this red cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and maintains signal integrity in environments with potential electromagnetic interference. Both ends are fitted with standard RJ-45 connectors for direct connection to network devices, patch panels or switches.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable provides enhanced bandwidth and reduced crosstalk thanks to the S/FTP shielding and the Cat6a specification, making it suitable for high-speed Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. The very short 0.15 m length minimizes cable clutter and reduces latency in patching scenarios. The bright red colour improves visibility and helps with cable identification in racks or dense cabling runs.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections between network devices in racks or on desktops
• Patch panel to switch connections in data cabinets
• Connecting network equipment in confined spaces or home office setups
• Situations requiring visible, color-coded cabling for easy identification

When it may not be suitable

This 0.15 m cable is not intended for long-distance runs; use longer Cat6a or fiber cables for connections beyond the immediate vicinity of devices. It is also not a wireless solution — environments requiring mobility or no physical cabling should consider wireless alternatives.

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat6a, S/FTP (shielded with overall braid and individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 0.15 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Colour: Red

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding network port until it clicks. Use the cable to link switches, routers, patch panels or network interfaces over the short distance required. Ensure connectors are fully seated and strain is minimized on the cable to avoid damage to the connector latch. For installation in cabinets, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it separated from power lines where possible to maintain shielding effectiveness.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length — 0.15 m is suitable only for very short connections
• Shielding needs — S/FTP provides high EMI protection but may be unnecessary in low-interference home environments
• Compatibility with device ports — standard RJ-45 connectors expected on both ends
• Colour coding requirements for your network layout

Usage recommendations

Use this short Cat6a RJ-45 cable for tidy, high-speed connections in patch panels, switch-to-switch links inside cabinets, or for reducing slack between adjacent devices. Avoid excessive bending and maintain connector seating to preserve performance.
