Networking cable Wantec 7574 RJ-45 Cat7 3 m Grey

The Wantec 7574 RJ-45 Cat7 3 m Grey networking cable is a shielded S/FTP Ethernet cable designed for high-speed wired connections in home and office networks. Constructed to support Gigabit and higher network environments, this 3 meter patch cable features gold-plated RJ-45 connectors and full shielding to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference while maintaining consistent signal integrity over a short to medium run.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding structure provides improved protection against external interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk compared with unshielded cables, helping to preserve data throughput and reduce packet errors. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs ensure reliable contact and corrosion resistance for long-term stable connections. The 3 m length offers flexibility for desktop, rack and wall-mounted equipment without excess cable slack. The neutral grey jacket provides a discreet appearance that fits professional and home environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, laptops and workstations to switches and routers
• Office network patching between wall ports and network equipment
• Short to medium length connections in server cabinets and media closets
• High-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, VoIP and large file transfers

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat7
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foiled pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Length: 3 m
• Outer colour: Grey

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of the source device (router, switch or modem) and the other connector into the target device (PC, NAS, or other networked hardware). Ensure connectors click fully into place to confirm a secure electrical and mechanical connection. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends, sharp kinks and running the cable parallel to power cables for extended distances. Use cable management clips or ties to keep runs neat and prevent strain at connector ends.

Usage recommendations

For best results in environments with potential electromagnetic interference, use shielded network ports and grounded equipment to maintain the effectiveness of the S/FTP shielding. Choose the 3 m length for desktop and rack-level connects where a compact, low-latency wired link is required; consider longer Cat7 or Cat6a cables only when greater distance is necessary.
