Network cable Renkforce RF-6830456 RJ45 Patch Cable CAT 6a S/FTP 5.00 m White

The Renkforce RF-6830456 RJ45 patch cable is a 5.00 m CAT 6a S/FTP network cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. It provides shielded pairs with an overall foil and braided shielding structure to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, making it suitable for demanding LAN environments where stable data transfer and signal integrity are required. The white jacket offers a neutral appearance for office or home installations and the cable is intended for use with switches, routers, patch panels and other networked devices that require performance beyond standard CAT 5e levels.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction combines individual pair foil shielding with an overall braided shield to minimise external interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk, ensuring consistent throughput for gigabit and 10G-ready applications. The CAT 6a specification supports higher bandwidth and improved signal performance compared with earlier cable categories. A 5.00 m length provides flexibility for typical desk-to-switch and rack-to-equipment connections while the RJ45 terminations deliver broad compatibility with Ethernet hardware.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops and network printers to switches or routers
• Patch panel to switch links in small server rooms or network cabinets
• 10G-ready short-run connections in office or home networks
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference, such as near power lines or dense cabling

Key specifications

• Category: CAT 6a
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Shielding: S/FTP (foil shielded twisted pairs with overall braided shield)
• Length: 5.00 m
• Colour: White
• Suitable for: Gigabit Ethernet and 10G-ready short-run applications

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding network ports of your devices until the connector latch clicks into place. Use the cable to link end devices to switches, routers or patch panels; avoid excessive bending or tensile stress on the cable, especially near the connectors, to maintain signal integrity. For permanent installations, route the cable along cable management pathways and secure it without sharp bends to preserve shielding performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this CAT 6a S/FTP cable for runs up to 5 metres in typical office or home environments and avoid running it in parallel with high-voltage power lines for extended lengths. When connecting in rack environments, maintain gentle bend radii and use cable ties or channels to prevent kinks that could degrade shielding or transmission quality.
