Networking cable Sharkoon Cat.6a SFTP RJ-45 Cat6a 3 m Blue

The Sharkoon Cat.6a SFTP RJ-45 Cat6a 3 m Blue networking cable is a 3-metre twisted-pair cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. It supports enhanced shielding with S/FTP construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and uses standard RJ-45 connectors for compatibility with switches, routers, network interfaces and other Ethernet-enabled devices. The blue jacket identifies the cable visually while the Cat6a specification supports higher bandwidth suitable for demanding local network links.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs, providing reliable protection against outside interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk. A Cat6a-rated cable construction enables stable transmission at higher frequencies and supports Gigabit and multi-gigabit Ethernet where infrastructure allows. RJ-45 connectors provide broad device compatibility and a compact form factor for standard RJ-45 ports. The 3 m length offers flexibility for home or office installations without excess slack.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops or network printers to routers and switches
• Wired connections for smart TVs, streaming devices and media players
• Office network cabling for workstations and VoIP phones
• Short-run links in data closets, patch panels and wall outlets

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually shielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Blue
• Conductor type: twisted pair copper

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of the source device (router, switch or modem) and the other connector into the target device (PC, NAS, TV). Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and keep it away from power cables or devices that generate strong electromagnetic fields to preserve signal quality. For wall or panel installations, insert the cable fully into the port and secure any strain-relief measures if available.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the Sharkoon Cat.6a SFTP cable in environments where reduced interference is required, and pair it with Cat6a-compliant network equipment. Avoid excessive bending radii and do not run the cable in parallel with high-voltage lines over long distances. Inspect connectors for damage before use and replace the cable if shielding or jacket integrity is compromised.
