Networking Cable Wirewin PKW-SL-SFTP-KAT6A 1.0 SW Grey 1 m Cat6a S/FTP

The Wirewin PKW-SL-SFTP-KAT6A 1.0 SW is a 1 meter Cat6a network cable engineered for stable wired connections in compact installations. It uses S/FTP shielding (shielded foil around each pair plus an overall braid) to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supports high data rates typical for Cat6a, and comes terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The slim grey jacket and flexible profile make the cable suitable where space is limited while maintaining the mechanical and electrical characteristics required for modern Ethernet links.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP construction provides enhanced protection against external noise and pair-to-pair interference, improving signal integrity for high-speed transmissions. The Cat6a specification supports higher bandwidths and reduced alien crosstalk compared with lower categories. Slim outer diameter and flexible insulation simplify routing through conduits, behind furniture, or in dense patch panels. Factory-crimped RJ-45 plugs ensure plug-and-play connectivity with switches, routers, PCs, and networked devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches, routers and network appliances over short runs (1 m)
• Home and small office wired Ethernet where space behind desks or equipment is limited
• Patch panel to switch connections in compact rack or cabinet setups
• High-speed data transfers and latency-sensitive applications requiring shielded cabling

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (augmented Cat6)
• Shielding: S/FTP (foil around each pair + overall braid)
• Length: 1.0 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends, factory terminated
• Color: Grey
• Conductor and insulation: twisted pairs with slim-profile jacket for tight routing
• Intended use: Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into a switch, router, or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure contact. Route the cable through cable management channels or along desk edges to avoid sharp bends; maintain gentle curvature to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. For installations in shielded environments, ensure both connected devices and patch panels provide proper grounding to utilise the S/FTP shielding effectively.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid tight bends (bend radius less than roughly four times the cable diameter), keep the cable separate from high-power electrical lines to minimise interference, and use the 1 m length for short point-to-point connections or patching in racks. Verify device port capabilities and grounding of shielded components when deploying in environments with significant electromagnetic noise.
