Network Cable Sharkoon Sharkoon patch network cable SFTP RJ-45 Cat.7a 3 meters red

The Sharkoon patch network cable SFTP RJ-45 Cat.7a 3 meters red is a high-performance Ethernet cable designed for reliable wired connections. It features RJ-45 connectors on both ends and meets Category 7a specifications to support high data rates. The 3 m length offers flexibility for desk, entertainment center, or rack installations, while the red jacket provides clear visual identification in multi-cable setups. S/FTP shielding minimizes electromagnetic interference and cross-talk to maintain a stable signal over the cable run.

Advantages

The cable supports Cat.7a performance for elevated frequency handling and data throughput compared with lower-category cables. Its S/FTP construction combines individual pair foil shielding with an overall braided shield to reduce external interference and internal pair-to-pair crosstalk. Durable RJ-45 plugs and a flexible outer jacket allow easy routing and repeated plugging without compromising connection quality. The 3 m length balances reach and signal integrity for typical home and small office layouts.

Suitable for

• Wired gaming setups requiring low-latency, stable connections
• Streaming and media centers where high bandwidth is needed
• Home and small office LAN connections between switches, routers, and devices
• Patch panels and structured cabling where color-coded cabling is useful

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.7a
• Shielding: S/FTP (individually shielded pairs + overall braided shield)
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Length: 3 meters
• Cable color: Red
• Intended use: Ethernet network connections up to Cat.7a performance

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device (router, switch, PC, console or media player) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the second device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference, and avoid tight kinks that could damage internal conductors. For wall or panel installations, use appropriate cable management to keep the 3 m length neat and accessible.

Usage recommendations

For best results, pair this Cat.7a S/FTP cable with compatible networking equipment that supports higher frequencies and shielding benefits. When deploying multiple cables, use color coding to simplify identification and maintain separation from power cables to reduce potential interference.
