Network Cable Sharkoon Sharkoon patch network cable SFTP RJ-45 Cat.7a 2 meters green

The Sharkoon patch network cable SFTP RJ-45 Cat.7a 2 meters green is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for high-speed wired connections in home and office environments. Compliant with Category 7a standards and fitted with RJ-45 connectors, this 2 m cable provides a secure physical link between routers, switches, network cards and other Ethernet-capable devices. The SFTP (shielded foiled twisted pair) construction reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk to maintain consistent signal quality over short to medium cable runs.

Advantages

The shielded SFTP design offers improved protection against external interference compared with unshielded cables, helping to preserve throughput during high-bandwidth activities. Cat.7a specification supports higher frequencies and enhanced pair isolation for reliable data transfer, and the integrated RJ-45 connectors provide broad compatibility with standard networking equipment. The 2 meter length balances flexibility and minimal excess cable for tidy installations, and the distinct green jacket makes cable routing and identification straightforward in multi-cable setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs or laptops to a router or switch in home or office networks
• Wired connections for gaming consoles and streaming devices where low latency is needed
• Short to medium-length backbone or patch-panel links in small network closets
• Audio/video streaming, VoIP endpoints, and IoT devices requiring stable Ethernet

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.7a compliant cabling for high-frequency data transmission
• Connector: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male for standard Ethernet ports
• Shielding: SFTP (shielded foiled twisted pair) to reduce EMI and crosstalk
• Length: 2 meters for short to medium cable runs
• Jacket color: Green for easy identification
• Suitable data rates: Designed to support multi-gigabit Ethernet applications where Cat.7a performance is applicable

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your source device (router, switch, PC, console) and the other connector into the target device. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure mechanical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, tight loops, or proximity to strong electromagnetic sources. For wall-mounted or rack installations, allow some slack to prevent strain on the connectors and avoid running the cable parallel to mains power lines to reduce potential interference.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the Sharkoon Cat.7a SFTP cable in environments where shielding can reduce interference from nearby electrical equipment. Replace damaged or kinked cables promptly and choose appropriate cable lengths to minimize excess slack. When connecting to legacy hardware, verify that both ends and intermediate devices are compatible with the desired network speeds and shielding requirements.
