Network Cable Sharkoon RJ45 CAT.6 SFTP 15m black

The Sharkoon Network Cable RJ45 CAT.6 SFTP 15m black is a 15-metre shielded Ethernet cable engineered for stable, high-speed wired network connections. Constructed with shielded twisted pairs and SFTP (shielded foiled twisted pair) design, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk to support reliable data transmission across home and professional networks. Its CAT6 rating enables Gigabit Ethernet performance and is suitable for modern routers, switches, NAS devices and networked PCs where a longer, robust connection is required.

Advantages

The cable’s SFTP construction provides effective protection against external interference, improving signal integrity over longer distances compared to unshielded cables. With a 15 m length, it offers flexibility for positioning devices without compromising connection speed. The RJ45 connectors are compatible with standard network ports and the black jacket gives a neutral appearance that blends into both office and home environments. The CAT6 specification ensures support for up to 1 Gbps Ethernet and improved performance for latency-sensitive tasks.

Suitable for

• Wired gaming setups requiring stable low-latency connections
• Streaming devices and smart TVs needing reliable bandwidth
• Office workstations, VoIP phones and conference room equipment
• Home networks connecting routers, switches and NAS units
• Temporary or permanent cabling where a 15 m run is needed

Key specifications

• Length: 15 metres
• Cable category: CAT6
• Shielding: SFTP (foil + braid over twisted pairs)
• Connector type: RJ45 plug to RJ45 plug
• Colour: Black
• Data rate: Suitable for Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps)

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to your router, switch or modem and the other end to your PC, console, smart TV or network device. Ensure both connectors click securely into place. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends, excessive twisting, and running the cable parallel to power lines for long stretches to minimise interference. If routing through walls or conduits, verify that the cable routing complies with local building and fire safety codes.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable for permanent or temporary wired connections where interference suppression and consistent Gigabit performance are needed. For environments with high electromagnetic noise, verify that both network devices and patch panels are properly grounded to maximise the benefits of SFTP shielding.
