Networking cable Sharkoon Cat.6a SFTP RJ-45 Cat6a 1.5 m Grey

The Sharkoon Cat.6a SFTP RJ-45 Cat6a 1.5 m Grey network cable is a high-performance Ethernet cable designed for reliable wired connections in home and office environments. With a 1.5 m length and RJ-45 connectors on both ends, the cable supports Cat6a performance and incorporates S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, helping maintain stable, high-speed data transfer over local networks.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding provides enhanced protection against external electromagnetic interference and reduces internal crosstalk between pairs, which improves signal integrity for demanding network applications. The Cat6a specification supports higher bandwidths and is suitable for Gigabit and multi-Gigabit Ethernet links. The 1.5 m length offers flexibility for short runs between devices and network ports, while RJ-45 connectors ensure broad compatibility with routers, switches, network cards and patch panels. The grey colour provides a neutral appearance that fits typical office and home setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, NAS units and network-attached devices to routers or switches
• Patch connections in network cabinets and wall outlets
• Short-run connections between desktop devices and wall ports
• Stable wired connections for streaming, online gaming and video conferencing

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded overall, foil-shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Cable length: 1.5 m
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the Ethernet port of your device and the other to a router, switch or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable; maintain gentle curves and leave some slack near connection points. When routing the cable through furniture or cable management channels, keep it separate from high-power electrical lines to minimize potential interference.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6a SFTP cable for short to medium-length network runs where reduced interference and reliable multi-gigabit performance are required. For installations that require longer cable runs or different colours and lengths, select an appropriate Cat6a or higher-rated cable to match distance and infrastructure needs.
