Network Cable VALUE S/FTP Patch Cord Cat.6 RJ45 3m Grey

Prepared shielded Twisted Pair patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for direct device-to-device connections or use in wiring cabinets. The VALUE S/FTP Patch Cord Cat.6 features an 8-wire stranded copper conductor with braided shield, 100 Ω impedance and an LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket for reduced smoke and no halogen emissions under high heat. Contact wiring is 1:1 according to EIA/TIA 568. This 3 m grey cable is suitable for structured cabling environments and has been laboratory-tested as part of a 100 m channel to comply with Class E specifications.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP construction (braided shield plus individual foil shielding) provides improved protection against external interference compared with unshielded types. Stranded copper conductors and a flexible jacket allow narrow bending radii and ease of installation in confined spaces. The LSOH outer jacket minimizes smoke and eliminates halogen emissions in case of fire, making the cable suitable for indoor installations where reduced toxicity is required. The RJ-45 connectors are terminated 1:1 to EIA/TIA 568 standards for straightforward plug-and-play connections.

Suitable for

• Patch connections in wiring cabinets and racks
• Direct Ethernet connections between network devices (switches, routers, PCs)
• Structured cabling installations requiring shielded Cat.6 patch cords
• Indoor environments where low smoke and halogen-free materials are preferred

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6 (Class E)
• Cable type: S/FTP (braided shield + individual foil)
• Conductor: 8 stranded copper wires
• Contact wiring: 1:1 (EIA/TIA 568)
• Impedance: 100 Ω

How to use

Plug the RJ-45 connector into the network ports of the devices you wish to connect, ensuring secure insertion until the latch clicks. Use the cable as a patch cord in a patch panel or to connect switches, routers, or computers directly. Avoid excessive bending beyond recommended radii and do not place the cable under sustained mechanical strain. For installations within structured cabling, deploy the patch cord between the patch panel and active equipment as part of a properly planned channel.

Usage recommendations

For a full structured cabling solution and optimal Class E performance, pair this patch cord with VALUE Cat.6 S/FTP solid cables, shielded Cat.6 patch panels and shielded Cat.6 wall jacks. Our laboratory validation used a 100 m channel configuration that included complementary Cat.6 components.
