Networking cable Sharkoon Cat.6a SFTP RJ-45 Cat6a 10 m White

The Sharkoon Cat.6a SFTP RJ-45 Cat6a 10 m White networking cable is designed for high-speed wired connections over a 10-meter span. It supports enhanced shielding with S/FTP construction to minimise electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and uses standard RJ-45 connectors to ensure compatibility with routers, switches, network cards and other Ethernet-enabled devices. The white jacket provides a neutral aesthetic suitable for home and office installations.

Advantages

This Cat.6a cable uses S/FTP shielding to protect differential pairs and the overall assembly from external noise, improving signal integrity over longer runs. The Cat6a specification enables higher bandwidth compared with older categories, allowing for stable Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance where network equipment supports it. Universal RJ-45 terminations ensure plug-and-play connectivity with common network hardware while the 10 m length offers flexibility for room-to-room connections without intermediate couplers.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops or network printers to routers or switches
• Wired home networks and office workstations
• Structured cabling runs in small offices and meeting rooms
• High-bandwidth applications such as video conferencing, large file transfer and streaming

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foil around all pairs + individual pair foil)
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Length: 10 m
• Colour: White

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your router, switch or modem and the other connector into the Ethernet port of your computer, console or network device. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the retaining clip clicks into place. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as large transformers or unshielded power cables. For fixed installations, secure the cable with clips or cable ties at intervals to reduce strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable with networking equipment that supports Gigabit or 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Avoid running the cable parallel to mains power lines for long distances; where crossing is necessary, do so at 90 degrees. Regularly inspect connectors for dust or damage and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show signs of wear.
